Marlins will attempt to rewrite the future with ‘Back to the Future Night’
You may have already heard, but we can already cancel the 2015 Major League Baseball season. That’s because, according to “Back to the Future Part II,” we already know the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series.
“Wait a minute,” you’re probably saying. “I like watching baseball and don’t want to cancel the season.” Well, the Miami Marlins have a solution. It’s time to rewrite the future, according to On Cloud Conine.

That’s right, the Marlins have announced a three-part promotion event that will attempt to rewrite the team’s future loss to the Cubs in the World Series. The first promotion will be a turn back the clock-type event where the Marlins social media team pretends that it’s 1993. That will take place on opening day.
The second event, and this is where it gets really good, is the “#RewritetheFuture” Series. This will take place during the team’s series with the Cubs from June 1 through June 3. Fans who buy a special ticket package will receive this excellent shirt.
That’s pretty fantastic. Also, nice touch going with “American League Champions.”

Finally, the team will celebrate “Back to the Future” Night on September 25. Fans are encouraged to wear their best futuristic 2015 costumes. The club will also give away a “Billy McFly” bobblehead.
Proceeds from the “#RewritetheFuture” Series and “Back to the Future” Night will benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
There you have it! That’s the story of how the Marlins saved the 2015 baseball season before it even began. If their offseason moves were any indication, the team has wanted to rewrite the future for quite some time.
This is about to get heavy.
