It did not take the Florida Marlins long to reached the Fall Classic, capturing their first World Series title in 1997 – just four years after joining the MLB as an expansion team. A second World Series win came in 2003. The Florida Marlins have made the most on their post-season bids, winning it all on both occasions, but the young team struggled in 2007 with a 71-91 record. In 2008, the Florida Marlins are ready to bring a third World Series title home.
Heavy hitters Dan Uggla, Jose Castillo, Hanley Ramirez, and Josh Willingham are ready to smash longballs out of the park. Wily veteran pitcher Mark Hendrickson leads a young, talented bullpen in Burke Badenhop, Andrew Miller, Scott Olsen, Nick Nolasco, while veteran closer Kevin Gregg delivers the Ks and picks up saves. In his second year at the reins, Manager Fredi Gonzalez has corralled a most talented team built for the future.
The National League East is wide open, and the young Florida Marlins are staking their claim at the top of the division. Standing in their way are the Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies. Outside the division talented challengers the Houston Astros, and the rising Tampa Bay Rays are just some of the threats the Florida Marlins must overcome during the regular season schedule.
The Florida Marlins call Miami’s Dolphin Stadium home. With the rebuilding phase of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins well underway, the city of Miami can take heart in the prominence of the young Florida Marlins. As the Florida Marlins vie to rise and surprise in the NL East and in the MLB at large, cheer on the Florida Marlins home and away when you order Florida Marlins tickets from OnlineTickets.com today!
