FLORIDA MARLINS SUPER SATURDAY FEATURING WILLY CHIRINO South Florida native and celebrated Cuban salsero expected to move hips during post-game concert at Land Shark Stadium

Marlins Super Saturday is Where You Wanna Be on September 12 for a post-game performance featuring Willy Chirino. First pitch versus the Washington Nationals is set for 6:10 p.m. at Land Shark Stadium (2267 NW 199 Street, Miami Gardens, 33056). The first 15,000 fans will get a Marlins Body Flag. For more information on Super Saturdays and to purchase tickets, visit the Florida Marlins website at www.marlins.com or call 1-877-MARLINS.

Willy Chirino, multiple Latin Grammy Award nominee, combines the musical traditions of Cuba with American rock and jazz. The South Florida-based vocalist and bandleader has composed more than one hundred songs. Chirino's material has been covered by a lengthy list of artists including Celia Cruz, Oscar D'Leon and Nydia Caro. In 1995, a section of NW 17th Avenue in Miami was christened "Willy Chirino Way." His latest album, 25 Aniversario, was released in 2006.

Each of the Florida Marlins’ 13 Saturday home games this year are designated as a “Super Saturday.” The highlight of each “Super Saturday” will be a post-game concert featuring internationally acclaimed recording artists following a fireworks spectacular. The concert and fireworks are free with each ticket purchased for the Marlins game. Super Saturdays also feature pre-game parties at The Strike Zone at Gate H with player and celebrity autograph sessions, Billy The Marlin, the Mermaids, the Manatees, DJ M-Dot, and live TV/radio broadcasts. The Marlins will also be awarding one lucky fan with up to $2,500 toward his/her mortgage or rent payment with the Marlins Mortgage Payout. Fans can register in advance at Marlins.com.
