Updated Marlins Records & Milestones,& major feats of accomplishments. The following also includes hilighted moments but most are Records of some kind.Team,MLB,Rookie,etc. A few are records I was keeping track of that were most likely to happen.I update some of them later on down the line here.So the 45 I have listed are not all just a list of records tied or broken but there are close to a solid 40 (maybe). THANK YOU to everyone who added to the list on this thread or elsewhere! 1) -Florida's first season series sweep of seven games or longer over any opponent in franchise history (2006 Brewers)..so this is the first time the Fish went 7-0 against an opponent in the same season 2) -Uggla & Willingham, first time two rookies on the same team had 20 or more Homers in a season in National League history. Then Mike Jacobs reaches 20 on 9/27/06 vs the Phillies , making it the first time a team a NL had 3 rookies with 20 + homers in the same season. The only other team to do that prior to the Marlins was the 1982 Minnesota Twins had Hrbek, Brunansky,and Gaetti hit 20 +) 3) -First time since 1899 that a team fell 20 games below .500 and came back to reach .500. First time EVER that a team fell 20 games below .500 and came back to go above .500 at any point. 4) -Cabrera breaks Marlins team records for doubles in a season (46), goes onto hit 50 for the season. 5) -Most wins by a rookie pitching staff in a season (whole roster,relievers & starters) . 6) -Cabrera's goes over 100 RBI for the season. At 23, he became the third youngest player in history to have three consecutive 100-RBI seasons. The only players who did it at a younger age were Mel Ott (22) and Ted Williams (23). 7) -Cabrera becomes the sixth-youngest man in major league history to reach the century mark in CAREER HOME RUNS. The four active players who have reached 100 before their 24th birthdays are Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Andruw Jones and Albert Pujols. 8) -Uggla set Marlins club rookie record for RBI with his 80th and 81st RBI on 9/4/06 @ Dolphins Stadium vs. Arizona (Conine had 79).Final total of 90. 9) -Uggla blasted a 449-foot homer into the second deck "Big Mac land" in Busch Stadium section of left field. The shot is the longest hr in the new Busch Stadium. 10) -Marlins two 9-game winning streaks mark the first time in team history to have two winning streaks that long in the same season (9 game winning streak/s ties club history for longest) 11) -Hanley Ramirez broke the Marlins ROOKIE record for doubles in a season (46). 12) -Hanley Ramirez set Marlins ROOKIE record of most triples in a season (11). 13) -Hanley Ramirez set a Marlins club record for most runs scored in a season by a rookie passing Quilvio Veras's 1995 mark of 85 with (119) of his own. 14) -The Marlins are the first MLB team to have a rookie no hitter (A.Sanchez) and a rookie 5 hit game (Uggla) in the same season. 15) -Uggla ties (on 9-11-06 vs Mets) the MLB 1938 record of Joe Gordon for home runs by a "rookie second baseman" (24). 16) -H.Ramirez breaks the Marlins rookie hits record in a season (174 by Conine) with (185). 17) -H. Ramirez breaks Conine's rookie record for most "at bats" in a season with his final total (633). 18) -H. Ramirez TIES Conine's club rookie batting avg in a season at .292. 19) -Scott Olsen breaks Dontrelle Willis's Club record of 142 strikeouts in a season (166 total). 20)-Josh Johnson's 3.10 era is the lowest single season era by a starting Rookie pitcher for the Marlins since the 3.23 ERA of Chuck Smith in 2000. **Also,along with the Twins Francisco Liriano, Johnson and Liriano became the first rookies from each league to lead their respective league's in ERA by the end of August. 21) -Dontrelle Wilis set the career wins record for a Marlins pitcher with his final season total (58). 22) -Marlins are the first team to have FOUR rookie pitchers with 10 wins or more in MLB History. Olson (12),J.Johnson (12),R.Nolasco (11), A.Sanchez (10). 23) -The Marlins are the only current MLB team to have 16 players born in the 1980s. 24) -Most wins ever by a MLB rookie STARTING pitching staff in a single season. 25) -Marlins' win-loss record since May 22 trailed only the Mets (NOT UPDATED) 26) -Josh Willingham (139), Hanley Ramirez (185), Dan Uggla (172), and Mike Jacobs (123) allowed the Marlins to become only the fourth team in the live-ball era with four rookies with 100 or more hits. 27) -The Marlins batted around in both the first and second innings in their game against the Nationals on 8/22/06. The Marlins are the only National League team to do that this season, and they've done it twice!!!! (also on May 14 against the Pirates). 28) -The 2006 Marlins joined an elite group when Hanley Ramirez hit his 12th home run, thereby giving Florida four rookies with at least 12 home runs (Dan Uggla, Josh Willingham and Mike Jacobs are the others). According to Elias, only TWO other teams in big-league history had at least four rookies with a dozen dingers: the 1958 Giants (Orlando Cepeda 25, Willie Kirkland 14, Bob Schmidt 14, Leon Wagner 13 and Jimmy Davenport 12) and the 1999 Marlins (Preston Wilson 26, Alex Gonzalez 14, Bruce Aven 12 and Mike Lowell 12). 29) -Wes Helms of the Marlins is the first player with three pinch-hit triples in one season since Casey Candaele had three for the Astros in 1990. 30) -Dan Uggla is just the fourth player in the last 50 years to record 20 home runs and 75 RBI in his DEBUT season in the majors. ***Albert Pujols, Orlando Cepeda and Frank Robinson are the only others. What makes this amazing is that this is NOT just a rookie record but a debut record (some players will have 30 or 40 at bats and not qualify as a rookie but are still noted in playing in their debut year). Uggla never played in the majors before...so this qualifies as a DEBUT year...making the record even more significant..and doing it as a 2nd baseman is even more significant.Of course, getting FULL playing time in your debut year is rare in the annals of MLB.Most rookies still qualify as rookies in their 2nd or 3rd MLB seasons due to lack of at bats or games played. 31) -Miguel Cabrera set a Marlins record for RBI in a month by driving in his 31st run of August with a solo homer off Brewers starter Chris Capuano on Sunday.Breaking Sheffield's and Alou's 30 RIBI record. 33) Anibal Sanchez broke the Marlins record for consecutive scoreless innings of 24 1/3. 34) Anibal Sanchez pitches a NO -HITTER on 9/6/06 at Dolphin Stadium. The 4th in Marlins history.THE 19th by a Rookie in MLB history.The first in the majors since 2004. 35) Uggla had five hits (5-5) vs Mets 9-11-06, a franchise standard now done nine times. 36) The Marlins become the first team in major league history to have as many as five home runs in a game from rookies. The previous record was four home runs in a game from rookies, done many times, most recently on July 24, 1999 when the Red Sox had three home runs by Trot Nixon and one by Brian Daubach. 37) Uggla, Ramirez & Jacobs become the first "rookie" infield tandem to score 100 runs each since 1929. (Need to verify this one).Anyone remember Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance? The HOF Cubs infield DP combo of the 1920's? 38) Marlins hit five homers vs the Mets 9-11-06, establishing a single-game franchise most. 39)Cody Ross hits 3 hrs vs Mets on 9-11-06 , reaching double digits for home runs in a season, which is the first time the Marlins have had as many as seven different players with 10 or more homers in a given season.They finished with 9 players over that mark. 40)Cody Ross' three-homer game came less than a month after fellow rookie Nick Markakis hit three long balls. The only other season in major league history in which more than one rookie had a three-homer game was 1987 when Mark McGwire and Mickey Brantley did it. 41)Miguel Cabrera breaks the Marlins record for highest batting AVG. in a season with his .339 avg. 42) Hanley Ramirez tied an big-league record with his seventh leadoff homer as the Marlins rolled to a 7-2 win on 9/27/06 against the Reds. Ramirez's blast in the first inning tied the Dominican rookie with Nomar Garciaparra (1997) for most leadoff homers in one season. 43) Dan Uggla breaks the MLB 1938 record of Joe Gordon for home runs by a "rookie second baseman" (24). Ends season with 27. 44) Dan Uggla breaks Marlins team record for most HR's by a rookie when he hit his 27th of his last AB of the season on 10/1/06.He broke Preston Wilson's 26 homers. 45)Hanley Ramirez had 43 hits in September, most in the majors. He's the first rookie to lead the majors in hits in September since Dave Stapleton of the Boston Red Sox in 1980 Anyone who wants to edit or add to this list, please do so!

20)-Josh Johnson's 2.99 era is the lowest single season era by a starting pitcher for the Marlins since the 3.23 ERA of Chuck Smith in 2000. Will set the record if he keeps his era under that of course..by season's end. Wouldn't D-Trains ERA from last year take this record? He must have meant the Marlins team record for the lowest ERA posted by a rookie starting pitcher, which JJ is on pace to setting. A couple more records you could add for Josh Johnson setting (or possibly to set) would be: - The first rookie starting pitcher to lead a league in ERA since Mark Fidrych accomplished that feat in 1976 with the Detroit Tigers. - Johnson, along with Francisco Liriano, became the first pair of rookies to simultaneously lead each league in ERA in August. Also, I believe Dontrelle has the rookie strikeout record with 142 in 2003. Both Scott Olsen (133) and Johnson (123) have a very good chance of surpassing that record. Yes,I did mean rookie starter.Thanks for the correction and also for adding the Fidrych info. That would be amazing if Josh led the NL in era by season's end! 11) -Mike Jacobs set Marlins club record for doubles by a "rookie" in a season (34) I think Hanley just broke his record today with 3 doubles! haha Damn,rookies are topping eachother as each game goes by! :notworthy I think Hanley has 35 doubles now!thanks.

"2) -Uggla & Willingham, first time TWO rookies had 20 or more Homers in a season in MLB history" in NL history... it was done 6 times in the AL Oops,thanks. I knew that but still made the mistake. :o

I did some research to find the following information below , listing some team records set (individual and team) and MLB records set and about to be set by season's end and milestones and other various achievements. Please make any corrections and I would love for anyone else to add to the list below.I know there are more. Like most so and so in a month by a rookie,etc..or whatever.

Ramirez on pace to easily break Conine's rookie record for most "at bats" in a season. 18) -If Uggla hits above .293 by season's end, he will also break Conine's club rookie batting avg in a season (Uggla at .290 right now) 19) -Scott Olsen has 140 K's after today's game...only 2 short of Willis's Club record of 142 in a season...Olsen will break the record obviously! 20)-Josh Johnson's 2.99 era is the lowest single season era by a starting pitcher for the Marlins since the 3.23 ERA of Chuck Smith in 2000.
