They’re Leaving Faster Than Fizz From Their Champagne
“Hello all, this is Alex Zims reporting live from the clubhouse of the world champion Florida Marlins, who just won the World Series 10 minutes ago! Let’s listen in on the celebration.”
Wayne Huizenga to Bud Selig: “Hey, Bud, can you hook me up with good Marlin tickets next season? My connection can’t get them anymore.”
Team official to Darren Daulton: “I tell you, Darren, without your leadership we would not have been here! Listen Darren, I’m going to have to ask you to wait outside the clubhouse, only Marlin players and personnel are allowed in here.”
Assistant general manager to Jeff Conine: “Jeff Conine, the original Marlin!! Jeff, I was thinking, wouldn’t you love to be an original member of Arizona or Tampa and watch them grow?”
General Manager to Moises Alou: “Moises, you know what goes great with that champagne you are enjoying? Barbecue and country music. Which, by the way, can be found anywhere in Houston.”
“Baseball in the ‘90s, I love it. This is A.Z., see you next season!”
