The **Miami Marlins** are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Miami, Florida, competing in the National League East Division. Established as an expansion franchise in 1993 under the name **Florida Marlins**, the team originally played home games at Joe Robbie Stadium, shared with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. In 2012, they moved to LoanDepot Park, a baseball-specific stadium, and changed their name to the Miami Marlins as part of the agreement with Miami-Dade County[3]. The franchise was awarded to Wayne Huizenga, then CEO of Blockbuster Entertainment, who had previously invested in Miami sports teams. The Marlins inherited their name from earlier minor league teams in Miami dating back to the 1950s, which helped build a local baseball legacy[1][7]. Despite having the lowest winning percentage and fewest postseason appearances among active MLB teams, the Marlins have achieved remarkable success by winning the World Series twice—in 1997 and 2003—both times as a wild card team, making them the first MLB franchise to win the championship without ever winning a division title[3][5]. Key contributors to these victories included players like Jeff Conine, Luis Castillo, and pitchers Josh Beckett and Brad Penny, with managerial leadership from Jack McKeon during the 2003 championship run[5][6]. The team is known for developing young talent, including stars like Miguel Cabrera, Hanley Ramirez, and Giancarlo Stanton. However, the Marlins have also gained a reputation for frequent payroll cuts and trading away top players shortly after success, which has affected their long-term competitiveness and fan engagement[6]. Miami Marlins' only retired number is Jackie Robinson’s #42, universally retired across MLB, with #16 unofficially retired after the tragic death of pitcher José Fernández in 2016[3]. From a business and technology perspective, the 2012 move to LoanDepot Park marked a significant investment in infrastructure
