Marlins’ “Reasons” videos down to final two
Entries in the Marlins’ “What’s Your Reason?” video contest that challenged fans to come up with unique uses for rival teams’ jerseys have been narrowed to two.
The public has until July 29 to vote for its favorite. The choice is between using a New York Mets jersey as a birthday party pinata and a Washington Nationals jersey to help clean up a barbecue. Watch and vote for the videos here.
The winner will be determined by a combination of fan votes and a panel of team judges. The winning video will be shown on the video board at the Marlins-Chicago Cubs game at Land Shark Stadium on Aug. 1. And the winner will receive a prize package that includes a night at a Marlins game in a suite for up to 10 people and a Marlins jersey for the video creator.

Actually the Marlins are showing themselves to be one of the top organizations in all of baseball.
Too bad all the businesses in this country had not used the same model of a tightly controlled budget with a quality product. We wouldn't be having to spend trillion on bailouts of bankrupt companies.
Other small market teams are having to frantically shed payroll while Marlins keep surprising everyone by playing tough and winning. The minor leagues are stocked with future stars and the stadium is going to be just gorgeous.
The Marlins have a bright future. It is time for South Florida to wake up and support the team.
The best video was the one where they used the Yankees jersey to clean the 2003 world series trophy.

I agree fully with the comments of Ovidius. Anyone with a brain knows these owners are scamsters and not at all committed to putting a first-class team on the field. They want to make guaranteed multi-million dollar profits and put a decent product on the field - and a cheap one at that. There is no commitment to excellence here. And people see that and that is why their attendance is the lowest in the major leagues. Had it not been for expansion half of our guys wouldn't be in the major leagues. The organization is a joke.

Oh, great, what phenomenal marketing for the Marlins. The brainchild of all this must be David Samson who is getting advise from Dan LeBaatard. What a great couple that is. They belong to each other.
What a farce!They back into a Championship in 2003 by accident (Jack McKeown, Ramon Castro, Mordecai, Pavano, etc. all playing key roles) ... they back into the pennant by accident and have spent 6 or 7 years since trying not to get into a pennant race again so that they do not have to buy ball players and spend money and so that they can pocket all of the revenue sharing money.
CARPETBAGGERS HAVE COME SOUTH AGAIN FROM MONTREAL WHERE THEY DESTROYED BASEBALL. The really great players they have had are not from the Beinfest NO PEDIGREE FARM, ARE MOSTLY, if not all, FROM DOMBROWSKIS DAYS (granted that Ramirez and Josh Johnson might become Pedigree but they have only played 2 years) ... Beckett, Penny, Burnett, Cabrera, Luis Castillo, Derek Lee, etc. They are all from the Dombrowski era.
The players they traded for Hall of Famer to be Miguel Cabrera and fan favorite Dontrelle Willis were Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin. Beinfest is more a producer of the likes Bonifacio's, Uggla's, Ross Gload than for the real Pedigree guys. These are not real major leaguers. The Marlin owners do not really want the team to get too competitive because they will have to then make an intent to get new baseball players at trading deadline to compete like when they were being asked to get into the Manny Ramirez lottery last year. THE LORIAS, Madoff like in their scheming and raping of the community.
