Somebody said the Marlins played yesterday

Reports out of Miami stated that there was a MLB game yesterday, but by the looks of this picture it would be hard to tell. 400 fans showed up yesterday to see the classic matchup between the Florida Marlins and the Washington Nationals. That's right, only 400 fans showed up. What is going on South Florida? The Marlins have won more World Series rings in the last 10 years than any other team in baseball, and yet nobody seems to care. I have a hard time believing that there are not more baseball fans out there interested in checking out a game. C'mon folks this is Major League Baseball, the best players in the world, obviously there is a reason to see a game. The Marlins have some of the top young talent in the game, that alone is worth seeing.

Maybe it is the fact that the team plays in a football stadium, or maybe it is the fact that both World Series winning teams were blown up right after their magical seasons. There is no better way to send fans a running than to get rid of all the top talent instead of keeping them in order to defend their title. The Marlins have been notoriously cheap when it comes to keeping talent, and there should be no surprise that the fans now are responding. People in Miami are not just interested in seeing a winner, but they want to see some of the same faces from year to year. No team can gain a fanbase when the door to the locker room is a revolving one.
