It’s our last trip to Sun Life Stadium but there are no tears.  Marlin fans deserve better and next April they’ll get their state of the art ball park.  Dave Matejczyk takes us to baseball heaven – the Dominican Republic.  Sam Zygner talks about his beloved Marlins and we listen to the late great, Clarence Clemons (1942 – 2011) as he plays opening day for the Marlins.  Our PhD Committee leaves some luggage behind since we’ll be back next April.  Next stop, Houston.

Little Billie

One of the great things about baseball road trips are the people you meet.  Little Billie is no exception.  Ed Kasputis was walking outside Sun Life Stadium on August 4th when he met Little Billie.

Little Billie is excited that the Miami Heat added LeBron James and Chris Bosch to their roster.  Please LeBron, don’t quite on Little Billie.  He still thinks that you are more than a Scottie Pippen.

The Florida Marlins are counting the days until they move into their beautiful new ballpark in 2012.  The Marlins currently play in Sun Life Stadium which is a multi-purpose stadium located in Miami Gardens.  In 2012, the Marlins will be moving to Miami and playing in a ballpark with a retractable dome.  No more rain outs or rain delays!

Ed Kasputis will be interviewing Greg Sherlock, lead designer for this project during our podcast featuring the Florida Marlins.  This podcast will be released on Friday, August 20th.
