Live vicariously through Billy the Marlin as he celebrates his superhero-themed birthday party
Billy the Marlin celebrated a superhero birthday
When I was 10 years old, there were two things I loved very much: baseball and superheroes. A superhero-themed birthday party at a ballpark would've blown my dang mind. I still imagine what it would be like sometimes, late at night as I'm settling in for bed -- hanging out with all my favorite superheroes, dancing and partying on the field.
With each passing year, it grows increasingly unlikely I will ever live that dream of mine. But as of Sunday, I can do the next best thing: Live vicariously through Billy the Marlin.
The Marlins celebrated Billy's birthday during their matchup against the Padres, which just so happened to feature a bevy of superheroes at Marlins Park. Billy was dressed in his own superhero garb, and all his mascot friends were there to see:
The Joker and Spider-Woman presented Billy his birthday cake:
And then, after the Marlins won, 5-2, on a walk-off home run, SUPERHEROES DANCED ON THE DUGOUT.
