13. Florida Marlins Game

  While we were in Florida, we took in a Marlins game at Sun Life Stadium (also the home of the Miami Dolphins).


Here we are in front of the statue of Don Shula.


They were giving away Marlins flags - nice ones too!


The Marlins had to score 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Dodgers 7-6.  It was a great game.  


  After the game, we stuck around for fireworks and a free concert.  New Boyz, Kevin Rudolf (Eric, I know you'll recognize "Let it Rock"), and Nelly (yes, that Nelly) put on a show for the dozens and dozens of people that stuck around.



  Here's the ball display I made a couple of years ago.  I get a souvenir logo ball at every new team I visit.

Here are the ballparks I've been to:



Bluejays - Rogers Centre
Braves - Turner Field
Brewers - County Stadium and Miller Park
Cards - New Busch
Cubs - Wrigley Field
Indians - Jacobs Field
Mariners - Kingdome
Marlins - Sun Life Stadium
Mets - Shea Stadium
Nationals - RFK Stadium
Orioles - Camden Yards
Phillies - Citizens Bank Park
Pirates - PNC Park
Reds - Great American Ballpark
Rockies - Coors Field
Royals - Kauffman Stadium
Tigers - Comerica Park
Twins - Metrodome
White Sox - Comiskey and US Cellular
Yankee - Old Yankee Stadium


22 parks total - 20 of the 30 baseball teams down!

I love the "Let it Rock" video! I can only guess that the concert was a bit awkward with a "crowd" so small.

Yeah... I just felt sorry for Nelly. He used to be a pretty big deal.

He played all the hits though :)
