Billy the Marlin
Billy the Marlin is the official mascot of the Miami Marlins baseball franchise. At 8 feet tall and 250 pounds, he is "''a natural-born clown and good-natured prankster''".〔Billy the Marlin (Home page )〕 He appears at every Marlins home game at Marlins Park, and performs his own routine in the middle of the 5th inning.〔Florida Marlins glossary (Marlins' A-Z guide. )〕
==Early history==
Of unknown age, the character debuted on February 25, 1993. According to his employers, Billy the Marlin "''was handpicked not only for his skill, cunning and great competitive nature, but most of all for his outstanding sense of humor and great rapport with baseball fans of all ages.''"〔Billy the Marlin, Florida Marlins (Biography )〕 Officially the son of William and Willamina Marlin.
His name was picked by original owner Wayne Huizenga because a marlin is a type of billfish, and Mr. Huizenga reportedly wanted a name that was different from the baseball-type names of other mascots, easier for children to remember.
