Baseball Pictures of the Day: Miami

It is approximately 11 days until P&C!

Today is probably the day that people think least about Baseball. And it takes place on a day everyone is focused on Miami. In honor of this, I bring to you some images of Miami and Baseball. Feel free to listen to Will Smith from back when he was a Rapper while looking at these images.

April, 2009: Mets vs. Marlins

That's rather a terrifying angle of ol' Billy.

Who's the coolest team mascot this side of the Phillie Phanatic? I'm thinking it's gotta be Billy, now that Youppi!'s gone?

Billy looks like a sex offender.

6. Good cripple hitter Posted: February 07, 2010 at 07:21 PM (#3455705)

The Moose actually is a sex offender, at least according to one of my favourite Mariner anecdotes ever:

We were all horrified, except for Dave, who turned a salmon pink and batted ineffectually at the Moose while protesting incoherently. The rest of us laughed, but in the awful laugh of the terrified, as we screamed 'No!' 'Stop!'. Then the Moose passed on to the aisle, leaving Dave shocked, the rest of us scared and unable to get a full sentence out, and an entire section of baffled, vaguely offended fans around us.

Those almost look like real people in the stands.

Today is probably the day that people think least about Baseball. And it takes place on a day everyone is focused on Miami.

And in honor of that, I'm holding a baseball practice in half an hour.

Why does Youppi get so much respect? BTF Groupthink? Or is there something relevant that I am missing?

Last I had heard Banjo Man had lost his banjo.

11. PreservedFish Posted: February 07, 2010 at 08:43 PM (#3455742)

Why does Youppi get so much respect?

He earns it.

Sounds like The Moose was just giving into the desires of men who were calling him names.

"Who's the coolest team mascot this side of the Phillie Phanatic?"

I doubt the Giants' Crazy Crab will get too many votes as "the coolest mascot." But he did finish in the top 5 in major league mascots depicting decapod crustaceans.

Miami baseball FTW.

If these pix were taken on a Friday night, then I was at that game. I was shocked at what a good ballpark Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Dolphin/Dolphins/Land Shark/Sun Life Stadium was.

It was about half-Mets and Half-Marlins fans; everybody in my row was rooting for the Mets, not counting two Puerto Rican kids who cheering on Beltran exclusively.
