TheMiami Marlinsare an Americanprofessional baseballteam based inMiami.The Marlins compete inMajor League Baseball(MLB) as a member club of theNational League(NL)East Division.The club's home ballpark isLoanDepot Park.
The franchise began play as anexpansion team in the 1993 seasonas theFlorida Marlins.The Marlins originally played home games atJoe Robbie Stadium,which they shared with theMiami Dolphinsof theNational Football League(NFL). In 2012, the team moved to LoanDepot Park (then known as Marlins Park), their first exclusive home and the first to be designed as a baseball park.[5][6]As part of an agreement with park ownerMiami-Dade Countyto use the stadium, the franchise also changed their name to the Miami Marlins prior to the 2012 season.[7]
With a record of2,241–2,609(.462), the Marlins have the lowest winning percentage and fewestpostseasonappearances (four) among active MLB franchises.[8]Despite this, the Marlins won theWorld Seriesduring their first two playoff runs in1997and2003.Only three players were on both World Series teams with the Marlins:Jeff Conine,Luis Castillo,andRick Helling(both Conine and Castillo are the only Marlins to play a thousand games with the team).[9]All four of their playoff appearances came aswild cardteams, making them one of two MLB franchises (along with theColorado Rockies) to have never won a division title, as well as the only franchise to have never appeared in back-to-back postseasons. The Marlins were also the first team to win the World Series as a wild card. Also noteworthy is the fact the Marlins have no retired numbers, with the exception ofJackie Robinson's universally retired #42, as done in 1997.[a]
Franchise history
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Satchel_Paige_pitcher.png/150px-Satchel_Paige_pitcher.png)
Wayne Huizenga,CEO ofBlockbuster Entertainment Corporation,was awarded an expansion franchise in theNational League(NL) for a $95 million expansion fee and the team began operations in1993as theFlorida Marlins.MLB had announced a few months earlier that it intended to add two new teams to the National League. It was a foregone conclusion that one of them would be placed in Florida; the only question was whether Huizenga would beat out competing groups fromOrlandoandTampa Bay.Orlando fielded a very spirited campaign bolstered by its family-oriented tourism industry. Tampa Bay already had a baseball park—theFlorida Suncoast DomeinSt. Petersburg,completed in 1990. However, on June 10,1991,the National League awarded a Miami-based franchise to Huizenga. The franchise adopted the nickname "Marlins" from previous minor league teams, theMiami Marlinsof the Triple-A 'sInternational Leaguefrom 1956 to 1960, and theMiami Marlins (1962–70)andMiami Marlins (1982–88)teams that played in theFlorida State League.[11]
The Marlins' firstmanagerwasRene Lachemann,a formercatcherwho had previously managed theSeattle MarinersandMilwaukee Brewers,and who at the time of his hiring was a third base coach for theOakland Athletics.The team drafted its initial lineup of players in the1992 MLB Expansion Draft.TheMarlinsdefeated theHouston Astros12–8 in their inaugural spring training game. Jeff Conine hit Florida's first homer before a crowd of 6,696 at the Cocoa Expo Sports Complex. The Marlins won their first game on April 5,1993,against theDodgers.Charlie Houghwas the starting pitcher for that game.Jeff Coninewent 4-for-4 as well, making him an immediate crowd favorite. By the end of his tenure with Florida, he had earned the nickname "Mr. Marlin."Gary SheffieldandBryan Harveyrepresented the Marlins as the club's first All-Star Game selections, and Sheffield homered in the Marlins' first All-Star Game at-bat. The team finished the year five games ahead of the last-placeNew York Metsand with an attendance of 3,064,847. In that season, the Marlins traded young set-up relieverTrevor Hoffmanand two minor-league prospects to theSan Diego Padresfor third basemanGary Sheffield.While Sheffield helped Florida immediately and became an all-star, Hoffman eventually emerged as the best closer in theNational League.After the1993 season,Donald A. Smiley was named the second president in club history. TheMarlinsfinished last (51–64) in their division in thestrike-shortened season of1994and fourth (67–76) in1995.Lachemann was replaced as manager midway through the1996 seasonby director of player developmentJohn Boles.
1997: First World Series title
Following an 80–82 record in 1996, former Pittsburgh Pirates managerJim Leylandwas hired to lead the club heading into 1997.[12]
In 1997, the Marlins finished nine games back of the Division ChampionAtlanta Braves,but earned thewild cardberth. Veteran additions such as LFMoisés Alou,3BBobby Bonilla,and trade-deadline additionsDarren DaultonandJim Eisenreichadded experience and clutch hits. Talented young starsLuis Castillo(2B) andÉdgar Rentería(SS) comprised one of the best double play combos in the NL. The Marlins swept theSan Francisco Giants3–0 in theNational League Division Series,and then went on to beat theAtlanta Braves4–2 in theNational League Championship Series,overcoming the loss ofAlex Fernandezto a torn rotator cuff, and Kevin Brown to a virus. Brown's place was taken in Game 5 by rookie pitcherLiván Hernández,who struck out 15 Braves and outdueled multiple Cy Young Award winnerGreg Madduxto a 2–1 victory. The underdog Marlins went on to face theCleveland Indiansin the1997 World Series,and won in seven games. In Game 7,Craig Counsell's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth tied the game at 2, then, with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 11th, Édgar Rentería's soft liner glanced off the glove of Cleveland pitcherCharles Nagyand into center field to score Counsell and give the Marlins the win.[13]
2003: Second World Series victory
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Jack_McKeon_and_George_W._Bush.jpg/220px-Jack_McKeon_and_George_W._Bush.jpg)
On May 9, the Marlins called up high-kicking southpawDontrelle Willisfrom the Double-ACarolina Mudcatsand helped carry the injury-plagued Marlins with an 11–2 record in his first 17 starts.Miguel Cabrera(also from the Mudcats) filled in well, hitting a walk-off home run in his first major league game, against theTampa Bay Devil RaysatPro Player Stadium.Both Willis and Cabrera would later prove to be essential parts of the Marlin's playoff success.Jeff Conine– an original Marlin and member of the 1997 World Series team – returned fromBaltimore,Hall of Fame catcherIván Rodríguezsigned with the Marlins as a free agent[14]and closerUgueth Urbinaarrived from theTexas Rangers.These acquisitions helped to keep the team in contention, and although they finished ten games behind the Braves, the Marlins captured the NL wild card.
On October 15, the Marlins defeated theChicago Cubsfour games to three in the2003 National League Championship Series,coming back from a 3–1 deficit. Game 6 saw the Marlins play a role in one of baseball's most infamous moments, theSteve Bartman incident.With one out in the eighth inning and the Cubs three runs ahead, Marlins second baseman Luis Castillo hit a pop foul a row into the stands along the third baseline. Cubs fan Steve Bartman reached for the ball, preventing Cubs left fielder Moisés Alou from making the out and setting off an eight-run Marlins rally. The incident with Bartman and a come-from-behind win inWrigley Fieldin Game 7 helped the Marlins capture their second NL pennant, keeping the "Curse of the Billy Goat"alive and well.
In the2003 World Series,the Marlins defeated the heavily favoredNew York Yankeesin six games, winning the sixth game inYankee Stadium.[15]ShortstopÁlex Gonzálezhelped the Marlins in Game 4 of the series with a walk-off home run in extra innings.Josh Beckettwas named the Most Valuable Player for the series after twirling a five-hit complete-game shutout in Game 6. Skipper Jack McKeon became the oldest manager ever to win a World Series title.

In addition, she will also be MLB's first Asian American general manager.[21]On February 28, 2022, it was announcedDerek Jeterstepped down as CEO of the Marlins.[22]On September 30, 2023, with the Marlins 7–3 win in Pittsburgh, the Marlins clinched their fourth postseason berth, makingKim Ngthe first woman GM in MLB history to lead a playoff team.[23]
Uniform history
1993–2002
The Florida Marlins debuted wearing three different uniforms. The primary and alternate home uniforms shared the same design: "Marlins" (with an underline after the letter "S" ) in teal with black trim and letters were rendered in black with teal trim, along with teal pinstripes. The alternate home uniforms were sleeveless, and teal undershirts were added to the ensemble. The road uniforms featured "Florida" (with the marlin wrapped around the letter "F" ) in teal with black trim and letters were rendered in black with teal trim. The primary logo patch was placed on the left sleeve. The Marlins wore three different cap designs, all featuring the "F" insignia in front of a leaping marlin. The all-teal home cap and the black-brimmed teal road cap were initially the primary headwear the team used, with the all-black cap as the alternate.
By the late 1990s, teal was gradually de-emphasized and the Marlins wore black caps and undershirts for the remainder of the uniform's run.
2003–2011
The Marlins introduced new uniforms before its second World Series-winning season. On the home uniforms, teal was relegated to accent color status with black now the primary lettering and pinstripe color. Silver accents were also added to the letters. A sleeved alternate pinstriped home uniform replaced the original sleeveless version, sharing the same design as the primary home uniform except with the "F" logo on the left chest. The "F" logo also took its place on the left sleeve in place of the primary logo. Road uniforms again featured "Florida" but now shared the same script look and color scheme as the home uniform (with an underline after the letter "A" ). White accents were added to the letters. In addition, the Marlins began wearing a black alternate uniform, featuring the same "Marlins" script but in silver with teal, black and white accents. Both alternate uniforms lacked the front chest numbers.
In 2010, the Marlins changed its road uniform design, replacing "Florida" with "Marlins". The sleeve logo patches were also removed.
2012–2018
Rebranding into the Miami Marlins, the team introduced a new color scheme, with orange, black and blue. The "M" insignia is white with orange, yellow and sky blue accents, along with a stylized abstract marlin on top. This logo served as a cap logo as well as a patch on the left sleeve. The primary home, road and black alternate uniforms all feature "Miami" in front, with the first "M" shaped similarly to the cap and sleeve logos. The home and road uniform feature black letters with silver trim, along with orange drop shadows on the numbers, while the alternate black uniform feature white letters with silver trim and orange numbers with silver trim and black drop shadows. The orange alternate uniform featured the team name in white with sky blue accents; however the abstract marlin was located atop the letter "I". Letters were black with silver trim, while sky blue drop shadows were featured on the numbers. The Marlins primarily wore all-black caps, though for a brief period they wore alternate all-orange caps.
2019–present
The Marlins released updated logos and color schemes, replacing orange and silver with bright Caliente red, Miami blue and slate grey. Home and road uniforms contain 'Miami "and letters in black with red drop shadows and blue accents, while the black alternate uniform contain" Marlins "and letters in black with red drop shadows and blue accents. The cap logo, used on the all-black cap, is a stylized" M "with a more realistic marlin on top. The marlin logo also appears on the left sleeve.
In 2021, the Marlins unveiled aCity Connectuniform. The primarily red uniform with Miami blue trim paid homage to theCuban Sugar Kings.
In 2024, the Marlins updated their black alternate uniform, changing the letters to white in order to improve visibility. They also introduced a new Miami blue alternate uniform, featuring the black "Marlins" lettering with white trim and red drop shadows. This was originally their Spring Training uniform, albeit with the "M" logo on the left chest.
World Series championships
The Marlins won the World Series in1997and2003,but both titles were followed by controversial periods where the team sold off all the high-priced players and rebuilt. Between 2003 and 2019, the team's two World Series runs also marked their sole postseason appearances. Their three playoff qualifications and seven winning seasons are the fewest among MLB franchises.
Despite never winning a division title, the Florida Marlins is the only team to make the playoffs and win a World Series in its first two winning seasons.

Retired numbers
|
From 1993 until 2011, the Marlins had retired the number 5 in honor ofCarl Barger,the first president of the Florida Marlins, who had died prior to the team's inaugural season. Barger's favorite player wasJoe DiMaggio,thus the selection of number 5. With the move toLoanDepot Park,the team opted to honor Barger with a plaque instead, and opened number 5 to circulation.Logan Morrison,a Kansas City native and fan ofRoyalsHall-of-FamerGeorge Brett(who wore that number with the Royals), became the first Marlins player to wear the number.[27]As of 2023, the Marlins are the only franchise with no retired numbers for former players, and while seven former players are in the Hall of Fame, none wear a Marlins cap on their plaque or have the Marlins listed as their primary team.
AfterJosé Fernández's death as a result of a boating accident on September 25, 2016, the Miami Marlins built a memorial atLoanDepot Parkin his honor, which displays his number 16. Fernández's number has yet to be officially retired, but remains inactive.[28][29]

In 1989,Back to the Future Part IIhad a reference to theChicago Cubsdefeating a baseball team fromMiamiin the2015 World Series,ending thelongest championship droughtin all four of the majorNorth American professional sports leagues.[43]In actuality, the Cubs would end up getting swept in four games by theNew York Metsin theNLCS,the Marlins failed to make the postseason, and the2015 World Serieswas between theKansas City Royalsand theNew York Mets,with the Royals winning in five games. Also, both the Cubs and Marlins are part of theNational League,rendering aWorld Seriesmatchup between the two teams impossible.
The Marlins were the first team inMajor League Baseballto have a dance/cheer team. Debuting in 2003, the"Marlins Mermaids"influenced other MLB teams to develop their own cheer/dance squads.[44]In 2008, the Florida Marlins debuted"The Marlins Manatees",Major League Baseball's first all-male dance/energy squad, to star alongside the Mermaids.[45]As of 2012, the Marlins have abandoned the "Mermaids" and "Manatees" for in-game entertainment instead using an "energy squad", a co-ed group of dancers.[46]In 2019, the Marlins brought back the Mermaids for the first time since 2012.
The Marlins have had many official anthems over the years, performed by such artists asPitbull,DJ Khaled,Poo BearandCreedfrontmanScott Stapp.Stapp penned their 2010 anthem Marlins Will Soar.[47]
On July 16, 2022, the Marlins became the second NL team to form a cheering section for fans when it opened "Sandy's Beach" at Section 22 of LoanDepot Park for supporters of team starter Sandy Alcantara.[48]Fans assigned to this section, located near the 3rd base line, wear beach related clothing in an nod to the city's famous beaches whenever Sandy pitchers on select game days.

Notes
- ^The Marlins formerly had a retired number with #5. It was originally retired for inaugural Marlins team presidentCarl Barger,who collapsed and died at the 1992 winter meetings. The Marlins retired the number 5 in honor of Barger's favorite player,Joe DiMaggio,but the team would issue the number into circulation for the first time when they moved into their new stadium in 2012 and instead honored Barger with a plaque at their new park.Logan Morrisonwas the first to wear #5, doing so for the 2012 season and several players have since worn the number.
