Last night, an errant foul tip found its way to the space behind home plate at Miami's Marlins Park, which is where baseballs tend to go. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, as most fields have walls or ads or pads up to prevent any damage to materials or human life. But since Marlins Park is apparently a drug dealer's vacation home, there's a giant fish tank there. The fish tank broke upon impact because of course it did. It's a fish tank.It was Miami's catcher J.T. Realmuto who rocketed the ball at the tank with a low swing. Just take a look:super-advanced marine biologists/engineers a man with duct tape came in and repaired it:

The fish tank behind home plate—aka a piping-hot, sun-exposed fish prison that no one but five people really get to look at—had some polycarbonate on it, but it wasn't strong enough to prevent water from spilling out of a crack on the second layer, according to MLB.com. The Marlins claim that the fish are OK, but what the fuck?"Let's put a breakable, half-assed home for living creatures behind a place where hard objects fly at upwards of 100mph" seems like a gold idea. Only a sport as gimmicky as baseball could come up with such assclownery.
