José Feliciano to sing National Anthem at Marlins Park

Puerto Rican singer/songwriter/musician, José Feliciano.

     For me, for Puerto Ricans and for many people around the world, José Feliciano is one of the best guitar players of all times. And it seems that for Emilio Estefan, a 19-Grammy Award winner, too.

      The Cuban-born producer, who has worked with artists such as Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony, will produce Marlins Park's inaugural Opening Night festivities. And to perform the National Anthem, before the game against the defending World Series champions St. Louis Cardinals, he chose José Feliciano, better known by his song "Feliz Navidad (I Want To Wish You a Marry Christmas)."


     I'm really excited about this, because as a Puerto Rican, I am very proud to have one of our greatest artists putting his name and the name of our country in the history of the new Marlins Ballpark and the organization. This is another great achievement for Puerto Rico and our artists.


     The game will be on April 4th, 2012 at 7:05pm ET.

Hello! ¡Hola! Ciao.

      Hello, everybody! I'm Félix Torres and this is my blog Fishing Some Pinstripes. This is a baseball blog and you'll find a lot from the teams I follow: New York Yankees and the new Miami Marlins. Here you'll see some news, pictures, videos and interesting facts about these two teams (most of them, Yankees).


     Are you ready for the season? I am! And so are the teams. The Yankees are taking care of business on George M. Steinbrenner Field at Tampa, FL, while the new and relocated Marlins are working together on Roger Dean Stadium at Jupiter, FL.


     With the Marlins making the highlights moves this off-season and the Yankees staying quiet, but making smart moves, it's going to be fun to watch these teams during the 2012 season.


     I hope you all like the blog and I hope you all have fun reading some baseball. Playball!
