But try doing it for the Florida Marlins in their own park with a crowd so small the guys in the upper deck betting $5s and $10s on whether the guy on second can score on a hit can talk directly with those on the field.
"'Hey Ozzie,' they'd yell at Ozzie Guillen while waving a fistful of bills. 'You send him.'
"Guillen would nod.
"Of course, there were others waving a fistful of singles telling Guillen to hold him.

"Then he laughed." (BradentonHerald)
