MLB · Florida
The Miami Marlins entered Major League Baseball in 1993 as the Florida Marlins. The franchise adopted the Miami name in 2012 when it moved into its retractable-roof ballpark in Little Havana and competes in the National League East.
The Marlins have twice converted postseason appearances into championships. Florida won the 1997 World Series in only its fifth season and captured another title in 2003, defeating the New York Yankees.
loanDepot park is a retractable-roof ballpark in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood. The roof and climate-controlled interior are especially important for baseball during South Florida’s hot, rainy summers.
The Marlins gave South Florida its first Major League Baseball franchise and remain one of only two MLB clubs in the state. Their championships are especially unusual because both came from teams that entered October without winning a division title.
