With the news that the home-run sculpture will be removed come Opening Day 2019, Marlins fans are getting their cake and eating it too. Sort of. Those who dislike the structure, like Derek Jeter himself, won't have to see it during games anymore. But those who support the structure won’t be losing it completely because, like many a bad dog, it will be moved outside.
The move is the latest the Jeter ownership group has made in an attempt to remove all traces evoking the memory of former owner, Jeffrey Loria, who upon hearing the news, likened the decision to moving the Eiffel Tower.
