The Marlins and FDOT are putting an unusual twist on “Click It or Ticket,” the Department of Transportation’s campaign to encourage drivers and their passengers to use their seatbelts.

Instead of “ticketing” fans who don’t wear seatbelts, local law enforcement officials will be rewarding random fans who are buckled up before three upcoming Marlins home games. Starting with Friday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, police will be giving out Marlins ticket vouchers to fans arriving at Dolphin Stadium with their seatbelts fastened -- as a way to encourage buckling up. The other games are Aug. 17 and Aug. 31.

Billy's Escapades

Meanwhile, Billy the Marlin may need some supervision. According to a sign hanging from the roller coaster at Boomers! alongside I-95 in Dania Beach, “Billy the Marlin Survived the Hurricane.” That Hurricane would be said roller coaster. A YouTube page, called BillyGoneWild2007 and aimed at gaining more exposure for the team, has been capturing the wily mascot's escapades since before this season, including scaling buildings, soaking fans with water guns and even trying to work out at Bally’s Total Fitness. And of course, riding the Hurricane.
