Fla. Marlins To Recruit Plus-Size Male Dancers

MIAMI (CBS) ― In 2008, the Florida Marlins hit it out of the ball park with the Marlins Manatees, Major League Baseball's first ever all-male dance/energy squad. Now, the Marlins are bringing the Manatees back for the 2009 season, and want the team's biggest fans to audition for the squad.

The Marlins are looking for bellies with the biggest jiggle, big feet with the best dance moves and enthusiasm that will rock Marlins fans out of their seats.

The Marlins Manatees will perform at Friday and Saturday Marlins' home games throughout the 2009 season. Manatee hopefuls do not need prior dance experience, just the willingness to learn routines and have a great time dancing and cheering in front of thousands of fans.

Manatee hopefuls should:

Arrive in Marlins attire

Be 18 years or older

Be prepared to learn a choreographed routine

The Marlins already have a cheerleading squad, the considerably more svelte Mermaids.

Men selected for the Manatees won't be paid. They'll get tickets to games they perform at, and the honor of dancing in front of the crowd.
