Marlins: looking good but with randomness in center.

The Yankees just played two exhibition games in the new Miami
(formerly Florida) Marlins ballpark so I saw them on TV.  OK, I
watched parts of them.

I really like the new Marlins uniforms.  Elsewhere they might seem
garish but for Miami I think they will work very well.  There are
multiple color schemes of course and last night's version conjured an
image of a team from Cuba.  If that was an objective of the team
management, they have succeeded.

The ballpark is also striking, with a retractable roof and a very open
airy feel.  However, in addition to the usual non-uniform,
non-symmetrical playing area the Marlins plunked down a big oval
something in left center that creates an odd shaped corner, all the
better to provide random outcomes.
