The Florida Marlins
franchise joined Major League Baseball as part of the 1993 expansion.
In there short history the Marlins have already won 2 World
Series championships. One in 1997 against the Indians,
the other in 2003 against the Yankees. The
2007 version of the Florida Marlins does not appear to be a championship
caliber baseball team unfortunately for there fans. As the old saying
goes though, that is why they play the game. These Marlins are not
hopeless and do have some young talent that makes the fans have hope.
Young players such as Dontrelle Willis, Miguel Cabrera, Dan Uggla,
Hanley Ramirez, and Jeremy Hermida have the Marlins fans hopeful for
more world series championships in south Florida soon. |

Information
- When the
Marlins have winning seasons, they make them count. Two out of
the three times the Marlins have finished over .500 in their 10-year
history, they have won the World Series.
- The team
was named the Marlins because the fish is a fierce fighter and
an adversary that tests your mettle. Buy Marlins Tickets In 2002
the Marlins were sold to former Expos owner Peter Loria. After
the sale, Marlins fans lost interest in the team, and the team
performed poorly. In 2003, the Marlins started slowly, but came
back to claim their second playoff berth. Entering the playoffs
few gave the Marlins any chance, however they defeated the San
Francisco Giants in the NLDS and the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS
to advance to their second World Series. In the World Series,
the Marlins met the New York Yankees, and again were not given
much of a shot, but the Marlins defeated the Yankees for their
second World Championship. The Marlins entered the 2004 season
with high hopes after winning the 2003 World Series, but despite
finishing above .500 they fell short of reaching the postseason.
