Florida Marlins

The Florida Marlins (nicknamed "The Fish") are a Major League Baseball team based in the Miami, Florida metropolitan area and play their home games in Dolphin Stadium, a stadium in the suburb of Miami Gardens. They are in the Eastern Division of the National League.

In only a decade since their inception into the majors, the Marlins have been highly fortunate in that they played in the era where "wild card" teams can win the World Series. The team has never finished first, yet won two World Series, in 1997 and in 2003. The Marlins had their best success under Jack McKeon, who led the Marlins to their only stretch of three consecutive winning seasons. Most of the time, however, the franchise has suffered from relatively low attendance. The Marlins management has insisted that a new baseball-only stadium with a retractable roof is imperative to survival in South Florida, and that if one would not be built, the team would seek relocation to another city. Although San Antonio, Texas, has pushed hard to receive the team, recent months have seen a new push for the Marlins to stay in South Florida, with the Miami suburb of Hialeah making strides in securing the stadium the team wants.
