Arrived at good ol' Doll-pins Stadium just before 11 on Saturday (free admission, but it was $5 for parking, and the parking receipt was good for $5 off on season-tickets.)
1st thing I noticed was the absence of those big tents that hugged the south side of the stadium, the ones where they've been holding their fiestas the past couple of years. The Marlins set up a lot of free pitching and batting areas for anybody, little and big ones, to try to win a free t-shirt. Frankly if you didn't walk out of there with less than 500 or so t-shirts then you weren't really trying. There were open boxes of t-shirts that people were just helping themselves to.
At least 10 radio stations set up booths on the ground level and were giving away even more stuff, including my prized freebee of the day - a Mermaids calendar (woo-hoo).
A quartet of Mermaids were available to stand next to and take a photo with, just behind the case with the 2 World series trophies. There was only a small line for tickets at the box office though.
On the way up to the 100 level Coca-Cola was giving out samples of a energy drink called Vault (wasn't bad). On 100 level...oops, being called away from keyboard - to be continued...
