‘Back To The Future II’ Predicted The 2015 World Series – Team Promotes The Hell Out Of It

Back To The Future Part II predicted the Cubs and Marlins in the 2015 World Series. One of those two teams are using the movie to promote the hell out of their upcoming season!

Marty is confused at, not only the Cubs breaking their dry streak (it's at 104 years now), but that Miami has a Major League Baseball team.

In the movie, the Cubs win, but it's the Miami Marlins that are using the movie to promote their season. They are using it to #RewriteTheFuture.

In the movie, the Cubs odds of winning the Series is 100 to 1. In for real life at this moment, it's more like 16 to 1. The Marlins odds are 33 to 1.

To promote their season in the best free-publicity way possible (I'll bet they've been waiting 22 years for this) the Marlins are doing quite a bit:

1. “Back To Opening Day!” (April 5, 2015) – #BTOD93! What if social media were around for the first pitch in Marlins history? On April 5, 2015, the day before our 2015 Marlins Opening Day vs Atlanta at Marlins Park, the Marlins social media team will step into the Deloreon with @BillyTheMarlin, load up on plutonium, fire up the flux capacitor and go back in time to cover that April 5, 1993 game minute-by-minute on social media! GREAT SCOTT (POSE)!

2. The “#RewriteTheFuture” Series (June 1, 2 & 3, 2015) – During this three-game homestand vs Chicago, the Marlins will look to “#RewriteTheFuture” and this time, DEFEAT the Cubs in 2015… changing the course of history – and the Future! Let’s #RewriteTheFuture together, #FishFamily!

There will even be a very special Social Media Night on the June 2nd #TwitterTuesday, where special event package buyers will receive a special limited-edition “MIAMI: 2015 American League Champions” t-shirt.

3. “Back To The Future” Night (September 25, 2015) – This is the main event! Put on your Nike Power Laces, flip on your lenticular caps and untuck your pants pockets because we’re going to party like it’s 2015! Just weeks away from Marty and Doc’s arrival in the year 2015, Baseball’s most futuristic ballpark will host “Back To The Future Night!”

Fans will be encouraged to wear their best futuristic “2015” costumes (as portrayed in the film), special event package buyers at marlins.com/specialevents will receive a limited-edition “Billy McFly” bobblehead doll… and there may or may not even be a surprise or two in the works! We’re going to party like it’s 2015!

I can get behind anything Back to the Future. In all honesty, I'm not a huge MLB fan, but I'm pulling for the Miami Marlins this season, just on principle!
