Can baseball ever be successful in south Florida? Maybe. Has it ever been? I don’t think so. But what is success? I would define it as a team that plays competitive, meaningful games in late august and September every year. That’s not the marlins. Even with the two WS wins, which should be enough to jumpstart the region to be on board with the Fish, bad owner after bad owner who’re not willing or able to actually keep a consistently competitive team on the field will doom south Florida baseball to never reach real success.
Ballpark experience outside of the game on the field has gotten better IMHO but there are things other teams do that this team hasn’t or is slowly going to do to make their baseball stadium feel like a baseball stadium.
Wasn't expecting to see a Fish Stripes mention in this and DEFINITELY wasn't expecting that percentage of the vote. Thanks a lot to everybody who takes their time to check out our coverage!

Fav uniform needed 'I don't care' choice. Hate the advertising patch on uniforms
