February 26, 20179 yr Cardinals win 7-4. Not that it matters whatsoever, but have the Marlins ever won the Grapefruit League? I'm too lazy to look it up.
February 26, 20179 yr Yes they did, in 2006. Jeffrey Loria bought them a bag of Grapefruits to celebrate it. Not kidding either lol.

February 26, 20179 yr For the entire team. I am trying to find the article online, I remember reading it on the Sun Sentinel.
February 27, 20179 yr Nice to see the 3 straight RBI doubles from Prado, Yelich and Stanton. Yea,that's what they never do before.
February 27, 20179 yr For the entire team. This doesn't answer Admin's question. One bag for the entire team to share or one bag for each member of the entire team?
February 27, 20179 yr Also I was surprised to learn the Grapefruit League actually has a trophy for winning it because clearly nobody takes it seriously so why bother with a trophy? It's like mocking yourself. They keep tracking of standings and all that stuff and I was dumbfounded by how seriously they take it compared to how managers and players go about it.

February 27, 20179 yr One bag for the entire team. Am I the only one who realizes this can be interpreted both ways and still doesn't answer the question? I'm pretty positive I know what you mean but I know I'm not crazy about the grammar problem here.@SongInTheAir help me out here, am I correct?

I'm pretty positive I know what you mean but I know I'm not crazy about the grammar problem here.@SongInTheAir help me out here, am I correct? What is so hard to understand? I found there article for online to further clarify what I mean. Remember the 2006 Marlins, the team with a eight million rookies? That team went 19-9-3 to finish with the best record of any Grapefruit League team. Owner Jeffrey Loria rewarded first-year manager Joe Girardi with a bag of grapefruit. The '06 Marlins promptly went 11-31 to start the season before recovering and making a race of it. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/fish_bytes/2013/02/will-marlins-win-grapefruit-league-title-dont-laugh.html I said 1 bag for the entire team that was my initial response. But looks like that ONE bag might have just been for Girardi.
