Marlin's HR statue

[harmon]

is gone forever! Tal's hill gone a couple of years ago.

Glad to see these arcade items removed.

Not an arcade item per se but I hate the walls directly behind the OF fences in Miller Park, Chase and Citi Field where HR balls come bouncing back onto the field.

I hope they also got rid of whoever thought this was a good idea for a ballpark and worth spending $2.5 million on. I mean really WTF?

To the joy of all Marlins fans, they most certainly did.


Team owner Jeffrey Loria spent $2.5 million to commission that eyeball-scorching centerfield statue from pop artist Red Grooms. It cost more than almost anyone on the team's roster that year - in fact in that year, only Ricky Nolasco ($11.5 million), Placido Polanco ($2.75 million), and Adeiny Hechavarria ($2.75 million) made more than it cost for the statue.
