Stadium 9: Kauffman Stadium and the case of Stanton and Fernandez

September and the last month of baseball is mercifully here for the Marlins. People will care even less about the fish and October 4th, the Marlins will once again pack their bags and head home for the winter finishing at the bottom of the standings. I have documented the injuries but now apparently Stanton and Fernandez are coming back.... but why? It doesn't matter does it?


Stanton: He broke his wrist swinging and missing and has spent over 2 months now on the recovery of his wrist. He is taking swings and expects to be back next weekend against the Mets. People are asking what is the point? Let him rest and come back stronger next season. There is a point. If Stanton is part of the roster and future plans, they want to know that he is healthy and ready to go. He is still young and the more at-bats he gets, the better he will become at hopefully striking out less and hitting more monster dongs. I mean who doesn't love this!!


Fernandez: He came back just to get hurt again, this time with a forearm strain. He has sat out a month but once again is ready to go next weekend. His case is different as pitchers are delicate. Arm injuries are scary and if he is the face of the franchise, I do not want him playing in meaningless games in September especially since you know what he can offer you... Sit him out and let March be his next time out there. That and opening day. 

Lets see what the Marlins decide. 

Stadium 9: Kauffman Stadium

Kauffman Stadium was opened in 1973 and is located in rural Kansas City, Missouri next to Arrowhead Stadium. 

Based in the City of Fountains, Kauffman Stadium has a ton of them.

And is built kindly into the ballpark. The Ballpark made recent renovations which improved its standing. That and the recent excitement of baseball in the town. Kansas City has become a baseball town and people are excited to go to the games. This makes baseball fun.... That and delicious Gates BBQ
BBQ in the Midwest is simply amazing. 

I feel like some will bash me and say, well what about the sightlines? Well so what? We are in the Great Plains of the Midwest... What should you see in the back??
Plains duh!! 

Top 10 stadium definitely especially after the recent renovations!
