NBC Miami | Marlins Put Time in a Bottle

The Marlins added a little history to their new stadium Wednesday, burying a time capsule full of “championship memories” and nuggets from their early years into one of the super-columns that form the foundation.

We suspect it’s really a horcrux containing Wayne Huizenga’s soul. But the metal treasure chest, as the Fish front office is calling it, is encased in concrete and won’t be seen again until the stadium is demolished or Prince Fielder gets hungry again.

“The purpose of this is so one day in 75 years, when a new ballpark is being discussed, people will be digging and excavating and they’ll find this chest,” Marlins president David Samson said. “In it will be a path of the Marlins’ history to this point.”

Digging and excavating? Um, in 75 years we expect to be levitating in tin foil suits, recalling Marlins history in our embedded Internet brain chip while robots do all the work, but okay. It’s cute to bury a box.
