Hey, Derek Jeter: Please Don't Get Rid of Marlins Park's Home Run Sculpture

Former Yankees captain, future Hall of Famer and professional Pitbull impersonator Derek Jeter will soon add a new fancy title to that list: MLB team owner. As part of a group headed by billionaire Florida businessman Bruce Sherman, Jeter will be buying the Miami Marlins from bloated plutocrat Jeffrey Loria for a staggering $1.2 billion, and despite putting in only $25 million himself (or roughly 2% of the total sale price), he'll be the man in charge of the franchise as its new CEO. And, according to FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman, Jeter already has one huge change in mind for Marlins Park.
