On Tuesday, Marlin Maniac ran story that featured an exclusive interview with the Miami Marlins home run sculpture. In it, the often misunderstood sculpture expressed his excitement and optimism for how the home run derby might change the way he’s perceived around the league.
But for the sculpture, Giancarlo Stanton‘s early exit was the second disappointment of the night. The first came much earlier in the evening, when Miguel Sano blasted the first home run of the tournament. After the ball landed safely amongst riotous fans, the sculpture believed his time had come.
