The Miami Marlins are a Major League Baseball team based in Miami, Florida. The team was founded in 1993 as the Florida Marlins, an expansion team in the National League. [1] [2] [3]

Championships

The team has had two championship-winning seasons since the beginning of major-league baseball's modern World Series in 1903, winning the World Series in 1997 and 2003. These were also the only seasons that they were National League champions. [4]

Retired Numbers

Many teams have retired certain uniform numbers in that players, managers, and coaches of the team will no longer use them. As of 2023 the Marlins have only retired one number, 42, which was worn by Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers and is retired by every team across major league baseball. [5]
