Marlins seeking public’s help with bobblehead

The Marlins want your help choosing which player’s likeness should grace a bobblehead doll to represent the franchise’s 15 years.

The team is choosing one player to represent each year of the team’s existence – Brian Harvey for 1993; Gary Sheffield for 1994; Mr. Marlin Jeff Conine for 1995 and so on. The team is announcing a new player each day through Sunday and then will ask fans to vote beginning Opening Day, March 31. Voting takes takes place at the team’s Web site until June 1, the winning player will be announced June 6. The bobblehead of the winning player will be given out at the team’s Sept. 19 game against the Philadelphia Phillies during Fan Appreciation Weekend.

Who will you choose? Is it possible, it won’t be Jeff Conine? Could it be Dontrelle Willis or Miguel Cabrera, who were traded away this offseason, but were a huge part of making the Marlins matter again in 2003, when the team won its second World Series?

And speaking of Willis and Cabrera, have any Marlins fans received an email from team sales representatives mentioning the two players as the team tries to get you to buy season tickets this year?

POSTED IN: Florida Marlins (124), Promotions (50)

Jim Leyland 1997 Marlins. He kept it all together.

I'd say it's gotta be either Conine or Mike Lowell.
