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. Nine half-hour episodes are planned for 2009 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.
