I hope someone has Ross Gload on their fantasy team

Gload lived out that backyard whiffle ball scenario for real today…

A pinch hit 2 run homer to win the game in the bottom of the 9th.

And because he did it in Florida, it happened in front of only friends and family in Landshark Stadium.

The Marlins are only a few games out and can be that streaky team that can rattle off a bunch of wins.

But if you have Gload on your team and activated him tonight, be sure to remind everyone in your league that you are a genius.
(Are we REALLY calling it Landshark Stadium?)

17 years later… the Marlins break ground on a new park

The Marlins were supposed to play a few years in Joe Robbie Stadium before moving into a baseball park when they were formed in 1993.

And I guess they did only play a few seasons at Joe Robbie… from 1993 to 1996.

Then from 1997 to 2005 they played in Pro Player Stadium.

Then from 2006 to earlier this year they were in Dolphin Stadium.

And now they are in LandShark Stadium.

Of course they haven’t MOVED! The park has been renamed over and over again.

But lo and behold either they are truly building a new ballpark or someone at the Marlins PR department hired a dude in a tractor for good press.

Hey a new ballpark could be great news for Marlins fans. They could add to their World Series totals which right now tie the output of the Indians, the Phillies and the Cubs (and they all had a 90 year headstart on World Series play.)

The best news for Marlins fans, of course, is they played the Nationals again.

Man they look like pennant contenders when they play Washington!article_url = location.href;article_title = document.title;var iap=new Image(1,1);iap.src=’http://www.rootzoo.com/news_pulse/auto_post/31537/be85873d3eb0bdd800228eb38e26a1ce?title=’+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+’&link=’+encodeURIComponent(location.href);
