The Marlins, the Logo, and the Ballpark

If many of you are like me and have been a Marlins fan from the inaugural season in 1993 than 11/11/11 was a day of excitement after all the anticipation. As it is very different than what we all expected, the logo is very appropriate to the Marlins move.

The Marlins changed their name to Miami because of the move to the heart of Miami in Little Havana. With a move farther south meant a new ballpark. Since the plan first evolved they were going to come out with a new name and logo to run with the stadium for marketing reasons. All the Marlins fans out there satisfied or not with the new logo will buy apparel and merchandise to support their home team.

The new ballpark is one of few reasons why the fans will get to love and like their freshly new and improved Marlins. The park is one of baseball’s premiere parks. It has many great features which include
-private lounge area with a pool to swim
-retractable roof with A/C for the unpredictable South Florida weather
-views of downtown from the seating in the ballpark
-closest seats playing field in all of baseball
While these are a few things that the stadium entails, it is not everything. For full details on the stadium head over to the Marlins website.

The Marlins have also increased their payroll between the range of $80-85 million. This is a huge increase from the payrolls they’ve had in recent years. This increase will give them the ability to sign more players that could potentially be huge assets to the team. Hanley Ramirez, Mike Stanton, Josh Johnson are all going to be around for a while so the signing of a couple other well known names in baseball will make Miami the place to come watch some great baseball.

For all the Yankee fans, the Marlins will be hosting the Yankees for two exhibition games on April 1-2, 2012.

Below is a timeline of the Marlins logos and pictures of what the stadium currently looks like.

Its time for dessert

You just got done with a delicious meal and are looking for something to fulfill the sweet tooth you have. You can go to your local supermarket and pick up something or you can go out on the town and grab something. If you are going to choose option B than read on as I will tell you the best places to go.

Fro-Yotopia

Fro-Yotopia is a self-serve frozen yogurt place in downtown at the gardens adjacent to the carousel. Self-serve frozen yogurt is a popular trend that is growing at an immense rate. The concept started in California.

Fro-Yotopia has the best machines and the greatest customer service you will find for a dessert place. From the second you walk in you will be greeted by an employee that will offer you samples of any of the 12 flavors that are currently available. I say currently because they are constantly changing their flavors to keep the customer guessing and coming back for more. There is a wide variety of toppings that you can select from the toppings bar. The best part about all this is you pay by the ounce which makes it affordable after you go on a toppings frenzy. The yogurt is Live Active Culture and Kosher certified and has many nutritional benefits including but not limited to:
Gluten Free
Good Source of RiboFlavin
Good source of Calcium
Low Cholesterol.

Right now Fro-yo has a pumpkin pie flavor in time for the holidays. I recommend you stop by, say hi, and have some of the best frozen yogurt in Palm Beach.

The Isles-A beautiful place to live!

Located on Military Trail, this community is very close to some of South Florida’s premiere shops and dinning. The Spring Training facility for the world champion St. Louis Cardinals and our very own Florida Marlins is just minutes down the road. The Isles is a peaceful community where your family can feel at ease about their surroundings. This home is for $439,000. It is a 3 bed room 2 bath with a 2 car garage. It has an extraordinary lake view and is available for sale or rent.

St. Louis Wins!!!!!

10 1/2 games back going into September. No one would have put money on them going to the World Series or even the post season. They did, however do just that. The Cardinals won game 7 with a 6-2 score. It was a very exciting moment for St. Louis, the Cardinals and Major League Baseball. It is also exciting for Palm Beach. Our hotels will be booked, restaurants crowded, and the stadium packed. Here is a look back at the St. Louis Cardinals season.

Here’s a video from a spectator at the game!
