Jennifer Aniston Watch

Are they watching the ball fly into the outfield . . . or Marley?

Friday night marked “Bark In The Park” night at Dolphin Stadium, meaning that dog owners could bring their furry friends to watch the Marlins play. However, few could have anticipated the excitement that would ensue as the evening progressed - they would be in the company of famous dog owners John and Jenny Grogan. Well, the onscreen version, anyway.

Jen and Owen were on hand along with several crew members (and “Marley”) to film a scene in which Marley, watching the Marlins play, decides that he wants in on the action. As he runs out onto the field, John and Jenny chase him down. According to Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez, Jen was in fine form - he told the Miami Herald, “She’s pretty athletic. She made some zig-zags out there.” See for yourself here - that woman can run!

She also made an injured player’s day a little bit brighter. Josh Willingham, currently on the Marlins’ disabled list due to a lower back strain, didn’t just sit idly by as his teammates took the field - he met Jen! An account of their meeting, from USA Today:

While the Marlins were in the process of dispatching the San Diego Padres, Willingham was in the tunnels of Dolphin Stadium shooting the breeze with Aniston.

“She said, ‘So why aren’t you out there playing?’” Willingham recalled. “I said I hurt myself a few days ago and I can’t play for a while. So, you guys shooting a movie here?”

Marlins fan blog Fishstripes speculates that this could trigger something of a chain reaction among the players - who wouldn’t want to hang out with Jen? For now, though, a few more pictures will just have to suffice - enjoy!

It’s all fun and (baseball) games for now . . .

. . . until someone runs away! Time to spring into action . . .

. . . and they did exactly that, in front of an audience of thousands. Well done!

While Jen is typically modest about her charity contributions, she does make her voice heard when she has the opportunity to raise awareness for a cause that she believes in, much as she has often done for organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Well, she’s now putting her star power behind the U.S. Campaign for Burma, a petition campaign to back the release of Burmese political leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose democratic rule was overthrown by a military regime. Jen appears in a rather clever video on BurmaCantWait.org, and she is joined by Management costar Woody Harrelson and longtime pal (and yoga instructor) Mandy Ingber. Check out the site for Jen’s video, along with others - and for an opportunity to make your own voice heard.
