From Gary Finkler's blog 7th Inning Sketch, this little bit shows why the Marlins have been a tad more successful than the New York Mets so far this offseason.

Courtesy of Fish Stripes' own Chris Towers, here is an overlay of the new stadium's walls compared to Petco Park's. Whoa, this place is going to be big.

The first players to wear the new unis in an actual game: the Marlins contingent of Surprise Saguaros. From left to right: Corey Hart (the Suns hitting coach, not the Brewers OF), Dan Jennings, Evan Reed, Kyle Skipworth, Alex Sanabia, Paul Gran, Kevin Mattison, AJ Ramos, Matt Dominguez.

H/T SoFlaMarlins for the picture. It's not official yet, but looking at Emilio Bonifacio and Omar Infante wearing them pretty much seals it right?

It is real. Looks like I'll be rocking my "retro gear" for a long time. Maybe they'll realize how silly they look in a few years like the Florida Panthers and go back to their roots. That is if Loria lets go of the team or we don't win another World Series.
