TheMiami Marlins are an American professionalbaseball team based inMiami. The Marlins compete inMajor League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of theNational League (NL)East Division. The team plays its home games atLoanDepot Park.
The franchise began play as anexpansion team in the 1993 season as theFlorida Marlins. The Marlins originally played home games atJoe Robbie Stadium, which they shared with theMiami Dolphins of 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.[4][5] As part of an agreement with park ownerMiami-Dade County to use the stadium, the franchise also changed their name to the Miami Marlins prior to the 2012 season.[6]
With a record of2,303–2,709 (.459), the Marlins have the lowest winning percentage and fewestpostseason appearances (four) among active MLB franchises.[7] Despite this, the Marlins won theWorld Series during their first two playoff runs in1997 and2003. 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).[8] All four of their playoff appearances came aswild card teams, 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. The Marlins have no retired numbers, with the exception ofJackie Robinson's universally retired #42 in 1997.[a]
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 in1993 as 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 fromOrlando andTampa Bay. Orlando waged a very spirited campaign bolstered by its family-oriented tourism industry. Tampa Bay already had a baseball park—theFlorida Suncoast Dome inSt. 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 Marlins of the Triple-A 'sInternational League from 1956 to 1960, and theMiami Marlins (1962–70) andMiami Marlins (1982–88) teams that played in theFlorida State League.[10]
The Marlins' firstmanager wasRene Lachemann, a formercatcher who had previously managed theSeattle Mariners andMilwaukee 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. TheMarlins defeated theHouston Astros 12–8 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 Hough was the starting pitcher for that game.Jeff Conine went 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 Sheffield andBryan Harvey represented 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 Mets and with an attendance of 3,064,847. In that season, the Marlins traded young set-up relieverTrevor Hoffman and two minor-league prospects to theSan Diego Padres for 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. TheMarlins finished last (51–64) in their division in thestrike-shortened season of1994 and fourth (67–76) in1995. Lachemann was replaced as manager midway through the1996 season by director of player developmentJohn Boles.
Following an 80–82 record in 1996, former Pittsburgh Pirates managerJim Leyland was hired to lead the club heading into 1997.[11]
In 1997, the Marlins finished nine games back of the Division ChampionAtlanta Braves, but earned thewild card berth. Veteran additions such as LFMoisés Alou, 3BBobby Bonilla, and trade-deadline additionsDarren Daulton andJim Eisenreich added 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 Giants 3–0 in theNational League Division Series, and then went on to beat theAtlanta Braves 4–2 in theNational League Championship Series, overcoming the loss ofAlex Fernandez to 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 Maddux to a 2–1 victory. The underdog Marlins went on to face theCleveland Indians in 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 Nagy and into center field to score Counsell and give the Marlins the win.[12]
On May 9, the Marlins called up high-kicking southpawDontrelle Willis from the Double-ACarolina Mudcats and 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 Rays atPro 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 Rodríguez signed with the Marlins as a free agent[13] and closerUgueth Urbina arrived 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 Cubs four 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 Field in 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 Yankees in six games, winning the sixth game inYankee Stadium.[14] ShortstopÁlex González helped the Marlins in Game 4 of the series with a walk-off home run in extra innings.Josh Beckett was 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 2012, the team moved from the football-orientedSun Life Stadium (located inMiami Gardens) toMarlins Park in downtownMiami.[15] As a condition of the move, the team was renamed theMiami Marlins, and adopted a new logo and colors. On November 16, 2017,Giancarlo Stanton won theNational LeagueMVP, becoming the first Marlin to win the award.[16]
During the2020 shortened season, the Marlins finished with a 31–29 overall record and 2nd place in the NL East.[17] In theWild Card Series they swept theChicago Cubs in 2 games.[18] Miami loss in three games to theAtlanta Braves in theNLDS.[19]
On November 13, 2020, the Marlins became the first club in any American major-level sports league to hire a woman to an executive position whenKim Ng was announced as the team's general manager. In addition, she will also be MLB's first Asian American general manager.[20] On February 28, 2022, it was announcedDerek Jeter stepped down as CEO of the Marlins.[21] On September 30, 2023, with the Marlins 7–3 win in Pittsburgh, the Marlins clinched their fourth postseason berth, makingKim Ng the first woman GM in MLB history to lead a playoff team.[22]
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.
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 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 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.
Rebranding as 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.
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 Connect uniform. 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.
TheRays also have a geographical,interleague rivalry with the Miami Marlins. Tampa Bay currently leads the series, 81–60.[23]
The Marlins won the World Series in1997 and2003, 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.

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 ofRoyals Hall-of-FamerGeorge Brett (who wore that number with the Royals), became the first Marlins player to wear the number.[28] As of 2024, 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.[29]
AfterJosé Fernández's death as a result of a boating accident on September 25, 2016, the Miami Marlins built a memorial atLoanDepot Park in his honor, which displays his number 16. Fernández's number has yet to be officially retired, but remains inactive.[30][31]

The Miami Marlinsfarm system consists of sevenminor league affiliates.[43]
The Marlins'flagshipradio station from their inception in 1993 through 2007 wasWQAM 560 AM. Although the Marlins had plans to leave WQAM after 2006, they remained with WQAM for the 2007 season. On October 11, 2007, the Marlins announced an agreement withWAXY 790 AM to broadcast all games for the 2008 season. LongtimeMontreal Expo and current Marlins play-by-play radio announcerDave Van Horne won the Hall of Fame'sFord C. Frick Award for excellence in baseball broadcasting in 2010.[44] He shares the play-by-play duties withGlenn Geffner.
Games are also broadcast in Spanish on Radio Mambi 710 AM.Felo Ramírez called play-by-play on that station from 1993 to 2017 along withLuis Quintana, won the Ford C. Frick Award from the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001.
Marlins games are televised byBally Sports Florida.[45]Paul Severino serves as the play-by-play announcer withTommy Hutton,J.P. Arencibia,Gaby Sánchez andJeff Nelson. Jessica Blaylock host'sMarlins Live and is the Marlins on site reporter.[46]
In 1989,Back to the Future Part II had a reference to theChicago Cubs defeating a baseball team fromMiami in the2015 World Series, ending thelongest championship drought in all four of the majorNorth American professional sports leagues.[47] In actuality, the Cubs would end up getting swept in four games by theNew York Mets in theNLCS, the Marlins failed to make the postseason, and the2015 World Series was between theKansas City Royals and theNew York Mets, with the Royals winning in five games. Also, both the Cubs and Marlins are part of theNational League, rendering aWorld Series matchup between the two teams impossible.
The Marlins were the first team inMajor League Baseball to have a dance/cheer team. Debuting in 2003, the"Marlins Mermaids" influenced other MLB teams to develop their own cheer/dance squads.[48] In 2008, the Florida Marlins debuted"The Marlins Manatees", Major League Baseball's first all-male dance/energy squad, to star alongside the Mermaids.[49] 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.[50] 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 Bear andCreed frontmanScott Stapp. Stapp penned their 2010 anthem Marlins Will Soar.[51]
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.[52] 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.

Other than their first few years as a franchise in the 1990s, the Marlins have consistently ranked as one of lowest attendance teams in the league, coming in last place (30th) several of the past 20 years. Even whenLoanDepot Park was completed for the 2012 season, attendance was only average for the first year, dropping down to second to last by 2013.
