This innovative original series gives fans a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective of the lives of Marlins players/personnel as well as unique aspects of the team's operations. Seven half-hour HD episodes are planned for 2012 and will air throughout the season on FOX Sports Florida and Sun Sports. Each show will turn the spotlight on a different Marlins player or coach, focus on their lives outside of baseball with personal stories and comments shared by family, friends, teammates and coaches, or focus on an aspect of the team's operations, such as game day preparations or community relations events.
Designed with the young Marlins fan in mind and featuring the ever-popular "Billy The Marlin," this continuing series is a unique baseball experience for the kid in everyone, taking fans beyond the playing field and sharing players' interests both on and off the field.
