MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Slowly but surely, the Miami Marlins are turning their 2016 season into a successful one.
Jose Fernandez was discussing the Marlins’ latest victory when Freddie Mercury interrupted due to someone’s cellphone ringtone.
“Weeeee are the champions,” Freddie sang.
Fernandez grew up in Cuba but knows his classic rock, so he paused, listened and laughed.
“Hopefully we’ll play that song,” he said.
The Marlins aren’t quite ready to crank up Queen’s stadium anthem, but they are making some noise.
Miami won three of four games against the Chicago Cubs last weekend and began this week three games behind the NL East-leading Washington Nationals.
