The Marlins want you to join their players in a, uhhh, foursome
The Miami Marlins, baseball’s version of your clumsy friend who trips over his shoelaces when he goes to the bathroom, have a great opportunity for their fans. They want them to pay $750 to join a Marlins player in a foursome.

Wait, so the Marlins want their fans … OHHHHH, they’re talking about golf. Got it.
That’s an actual tweet the Marlins sent out Thursday morning. It was, of course, the fuel for many jokes and the Marlins quickly deleted it. Because, as anyone who surfs the modern Internet knows, you can’t even type 69 in earnest anymore without the jokesters coming out. There was no way this “Foursome” thing wasn’t getting messy.
The jokes were aplenty, some of which are still alive on the Internet even through the Marlins did their best to act like the gaffe never happened (which, to be fair, they have a lot of practice in).
There is a real golf tournament coming up — the third annual Jack McKeon classic — where, as the Marlins more specifically tweeted later, “a player will join each foursome of golfers.” Time to polish up those 9-irons, folks.
