Marlins Home Run Structure: "Flamingos Are a Go," But Left-Handed Batters Could Be Distracted

There are concerns that the structure could be more than just an eyesore. Some Marlins are already voicing concerns that the flamboyant structure could be a distraction for left handed hitters – especially against right handed pitchers with a sidearm delivery! From the Miami Herald:

“If it is an issue, it can no longer be there,” warned Marlins utility player Greg Dobbs. “I won’t be the only left-handed hitter saying something. If other teams have a problem with it, they’re definitely going to voice their concern to the league.”

Can you imagine if the Marlins had to move this thing? Why, it would be more of an embarrassment than the structure itself. Maybe. Probably not.
