The Intentional Walking Dead? Marlins host Zombie Night
MIAMI -- Previously on The Intentional Walking Dead...
In the first of 12 all-new theme nights scheduled to take place at Marlins Park this season, the undead descended upon South Florida as the Miami Marlins battled the Tampa Bay Rays during the organization's inaugural Zombie Night.
In a rare meeting between ghouls and groundouts, the Marlins encouraged fans come dressed in their scariest zombie costumes and even hid a few monsters of their own throughout the ballpark.
Fans who purchased the special Zombie Night ticket package not only received a limited edition Miami Marlins Zombie Night t-shirt, but also a an exclusive meet-and-greet with actor IronE Singleton, better known as T-Dog in the TV show The Walking Dead.
Singleton, who appeared in 20 episodes of AMC's hit zombie-themed drama, also threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
As an added bonus, the first 5,000 fans in attendance received their very own Miami Marlins Zombie Night poster and a complimentary fireworks show is scheduled to take place after the game.
Here are some of the highlights:
