Tonight, baseballs best sluggers invade Marlins Park with the purpose of putting on an aerial bomb show for the fans. Dingers will ding, and 200+ ticket holders will leave the park with a souvenir. It’s an important day.
But as important as it is for Major League Baseball, the participants in the derby, and the fans that will be in attendance, the day is far more important for someone else. Or something else. For the Miami Marlins home run sculpture, it’s the moment he was born for.
The sculpture will be on a national stage, where he’ll get the opportunity to strut his stuff after each long-ball.
