The Marlins are officially renaming the park to honor Jose. Seeing the tribute go up is incredible. Thank you for pushing this to the finish line.

Jose Fernandez, star pitcher of the Miami Marlins and local icon tragically died in a boating accident in the early hours of Sunday, September 25th. He lost his life along with 2 other friends who were on board with him. Jose was a local hero down in Miami, Florida. He defected from Cuba with his family and saved his mother from drowing when their raft cap sized. His story became well known and soon became a local home town hero. When the Miami Marlins failed to get fans into the stadium, the electric and powerful ace Jose Fernandez was able to get fans to go to the stadium in droves. He won the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2013 and thus cemented his status as a local face. My goal is for the Miami Marlins to name the stadium after the late star, as every time he took the mound, every one and their mother came to watch the spectacle. This would be the ultimate way of honoring his life. You can contact me at [email protected] for questions and comments. Thank you for your support.

He is a true represtention of the American dream and the marlins should name the stadium after Jose not only because of how good of a guy he was and how elite of a pitcher he was. But to represent all people who risk there life to come to the best country ever created, America.
I'm 18 and Jose Fernandez made me enjoy the game of baseball way more since he came into the league. Ive been a Marlins fan since I've enjoyed playing and watching baseball back in 2010. He makes me want to follow my dreams and maybe one day in the future I'll be able to go pro in baseball
I never called your old stadium anything other than Joe Robbie Stadium. It always felt right and corporate names are boring. Jose Fernandez Park would be an awesome name and show respect to him at the same time. Do it!
It would be a generous tribute to the young man that made great sacrifices to come to America for baseball. A tribute to a passionate and well deserving Marlin who lived for the game. I am a Boston fan, through him Miami has won my heart.
Where the marlins play is the house that Jose Fernandez built by his dominance, humbleness. Personality, and his contributions to the community and fans. It's only right to change the name of the stadium to Jose Fernandez Stadium

This won't happen since alcohol and cocaine were found in his body after an autopsy. So sad to lose such a great pitcher like José.
