MIAMI, Sept. 12 -- There were so few fans at Dolphin Stadium for Wednesday's game, a season ticket holder got thrown out for heckling the umpire too loudly.

 

In the fifth inning of the Florida Marlins' 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals, home plate umpire Paul Schreiber gave the thumb to an unnamed man seated behind the plate who had been verbally abusive throughout the contest.

 

"The fan was chirping at the umpire," Nationals catcher Brian Schneider said. "There was no need for it."

 

The man was so loud, and the atmosphere so quiet, the fan could be heard saying "you don't make more than me" on the television broadcast as he was forced to leave. There were no more than about 400 fans in attendance at the game's peak.

400, is that a record?

... Holy crap. This was supposedly taken around first pitch.

Can we agree that baseball in Florida is a failed experiment despite the Marlins' 2 WS titles?

and to think, MY city is the one that got its team taken away

That's downright pathetic, even minor league teams get about 1,000-2,000 in attendance a game.

 

And you'd think with their 2 WS wins would bring more fanship to the club.

How nice it would be. No lines for beers or nachos. No crying babies. No beach balls. No wave. Friggin paradise.
