The Parade

Marlins capped little kids taking it all in from atop their Father's shoulders; three generations of women donning Marlins apparel; flags from all over Latin and South America; people from all different walks of life; from different cultures; babies in their strollers with Marlins t-shirts; endless cacophonies of "Let's Go Marlins!"; kids playing I'm Beckett and you are Pudge; it was a loud, roaring sea of white, black and teal.

That's just some of the scenes at yesterday's rally for the Marlins. It was an incredible show of support for this Florida Marlins team that at the beginning of the season was on the verge of extinction. South Florida came out and wowed the already awestruck Marlins. Tens of thousands of people taking days off or calling in sick just to be a part of the party and of their World Champion baseball team.

What a beautiful day.
