Aug. 2 vs. Padres — Marlins All-Star Poster (All fans)
The Marlins were represented in last year’s All-Star Game by Giancarlo Stanton and Henderson Alvarez, both very deserving of the honor. This year, whichever Marlin goes to the game will get their own poster, and everyone who attends the August 2 tilt against the San Diego Shields will get one. My prediction is that Christian Yelich, Stanton and Martin Prado will each be All-Stars in 2015. If I’m right (and I’m usually not) then the fans (not just kids!) will have a very nice new poster to hang on their walls. Or, sell on Ebay.
