Marlins Get Approval to Move Home Run Sculpture Outside Marlins Park

Miami owner Derek Jeter finally gets his wish to remove the home run sculpture out of Marlins park to a plaza outside. The Mimia-Dade County gave permission to the team on Tuesday, according to The Miami Herald.

Whenever a Marlins player hits a homer, the sculpture titled "Homer" by artist Red Grooms lights up and the machine fish spin for about 30 seconds — the time it takes a typical base runner to make it home.

According to the Herald, the Marlins have plans for a a multi-story spectator area that will be designed for a new standing-room-only ticket.
