THE STORY OF 2004 WORLD SERIES
MIAMI MARLINS
The 2003 World Series was the 99th edition of Major League Baseball's championship
series.[1] The Florida Marlins of the National League defeated the heavily favored New
York Yankees of the American League in six games with a score of 4–2. This is the
most recent Series in which the losing team outscored the winning team. The Yankees
lost, despite outscoring the Marlins 21–17 in the Series. This was also the Marlins'
second World Series championship win and their first since 1997.

The team began play in the 1993 season as the Florida Marlins. They played home
games from their inaugural season to the 2011 season at Sun Life Stadium, which
they shared with the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). Sun Life
Stadium was also called Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Park, Pro Player Stadium,
Dolphin Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, and Land Shark Stadium during their tenancy.
Since the 2012 season, they have played at Marlins Park in downtown Miami, on the
site of the former Orange Bowl in Little Havana, Florida.

The new park, unlike Sun Life Stadium (which was criticized in its baseball
configuration for poor sight lines in some locations), was designed foremost as a
baseball park. The new park's name is a temporary one until naming rights are
purchased.[3][4] Per agreement with the city and Miami-Dade County (which owns the
park), the Marlins officially changed their name to the "Miami Marlins" on November 11,
2011.[5] They also adopted a new logo, color scheme, and uniforms.

THE STORY OF 2003 WORLD SERIES
MARLINSMIAMI
The Marlins have the distinction of winning a World Series championship in both
seasons they qualified for the postseason, doing so in 1997 and 2003 — both times
as the National League wild card team. They defeated the American League (AL)
champion Cleveland Indians in the 1997 World Series, which was notable for
shortstop Edgar Rentería driving in second baseman Craig Counsell for the series-
clinching run in the 11th inning of the seventh and deciding game. The 2003 season
was notable for the firing of manager Jeff Torborg after 38 games. The Marlins were
in last place in the NL East with a 16–22 record at the time. Torborg's successor,
72-year-old Jack McKeon, led them to the NL wild card berth in the postseason;
they defeated the New York Yankees four games to two in the 2003 World Series.
