Miami Marlins Tickets

The Miami Marlins are a Major League Baseball team that currently plays in the city of Miami. They were founded in 1991 as the Florida Marlins and began play in 1993 in the suburb of Miami Gardens before moving to the city in 2012 and becoming the Miami Marlins at that time. The Marlins have played their home games at LoanDepot Park (formerly Marlins Park) since that time. The Marlins compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) East division. The club has won two NL pennants and two World Series championships (1997 and 2003). The Marlins were also the first team to win the World Series as a wild card. The franchise adopted the nickname "Marlins" from previous minor league teams. During the 2020 shortened season, the Marlins finished with a 31–29 overall record and 2nd place in the NL East. In the Wild Card Series, they swept the Chicago Cubs in 2 games but lost in three games to the Atlanta Braves in the NL Division Series. The current principal owner of the team is Bruce Sherman, the general manager is Kim Ng, and the manager is Skip Schumaker.

The Marlins play their home games at loanDepot park, formerly known as Marlins Park. loanDepot park opened in 2012 and is located in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami. It features a retractable roof and a unique home run sculpture, called "The Marlins Monument," which activates with lights, waterworks, and moving marlins whenever a Marlins player hits a home run. The stadium's colorful exterior and modern amenities make it a distinctive and vibrant venue for baseball.

Throughout their history, the Marlins have been home to several notable players, including:

1. Giancarlo Stanton: A powerful outfielder, Stanton spent eight seasons with the Marlins and was known for his prodigious home runs. He won the National League MVP award in 2017 after hitting 59 home runs, the most in MLB that season.
2. Miguel Cabrera: A versatile infielder and future Hall of Famer, Cabrera began his career with the Marlins and played five seasons with the team. He won the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2003 and later went on to win multiple batting titles and MVP awards with the Detroit Tigers.
3. Jose Fernandez: A talented and charismatic pitcher, Fernandez was a rising star with the Marlins before his tragic death in a boating accident in 2016. He won the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2013 and was an All-Star in two of his four seasons with the team.
4. Hanley Ramirez: A dynamic infielder, Ramirez spent six seasons with the Marlins and was a two-time All-Star and National League batting champion during his tenure. He was known for his speed on the basepaths and his ability to hit for power and average.

The Marlins do not have any significant rivalries in the traditional sense, but they do have competitive matchups with several National League East teams, including the Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, and Washington Nationals. These divisional rivalries add extra excitement to the regular season and contribute to the competitive atmosphere at loanDepot park.
