May 5, 200521 yr Bobby Bonilla Walkoff Grand Slam-- 1997 Mike Lowell 3 home run game 2004 Easley and Cabrera's tying and winning home runs in 9th in Cleveland (2004)

May 5, 200521 yr Author Mike Lowell 3 home run game 2004 Easley and Cabrera's tying and winning home runs in 9th in Cleveland (2004) 763729[/snapback] Oh, I forgot about those.. Miggy's homer was a bomb There are so many great memories :notworthy
May 5, 200521 yr We have so many memories, yet we have only been around almost 15 years as an organization. We are spoiled.
May 5, 200521 yr There are far too many to list here but let me add one I'm sure most of you have long forgotten... Joe Strong, 37 year old journeyman, world-traveler, a guy always a on the outside looking in at a major league career, a guy who drove a forklift for Sears for two years, finally getting his chance against the mighty Atlanta Braves and for one night pitching an inning and a third of heart-thumping, beautiful, magical strikeout baseball that makes those of us who believe in such things, that baseball is in fact in the controls of the gods.
May 5, 200521 yr Wow. Everytime I think of 2003 I get this warm and fuzzy feeling. I still remember everynight of that season... ...Opening Day... finding out at 2 in the morning Torborg was gone and looking for all the Jack Mckeon info I could find... the 25-8 game in Boston... discovering we came back from down 9-2... Cabby's first HR... MORDY! MORDY! MORDY!... raper Castro the night before... the aquisition of Niner... losing 9 of 10 in August... Conine's catch in Philly... that last series versus the Phillis... oh jeez this list is to long. What a year. *tears up*
May 5, 200521 yr There are far too many to list here but let me add one I'm sure most of you have long forgotten... Joe Strong, 37 year old journeyman... 763769[/snapback] I remember him well. He'd always come out of the pen drenched because I think he dunked his hat in water before coming out of the bullpen. I believe that was the reason anyway. Good story with him.
May 5, 200521 yr Wow, there are so many! But the one that I'll always remember was when Alex hit the homerun (Game 4) 'cause I jumped off my bed, started screaming "Marlins win! Marlins win!", and woke up everyone in my house. :thumbup
May 5, 200521 yr I guess my personal favorite warm fuzzy moment was in '97 when my Dad would take me out of school if it was a day game that Brown was pitching. The most recent was in 2003 when Dontrelle-mania swept and I remember thinking "this kid is going to single handedly save baseball in South Florida." Every moment of the franchise (except, the obvious sell-offs) had it's own great merits...for me, there are just too many to list.
May 5, 200521 yr Ah so many memories, so little brain space left to save them. Just off the top of my head the Marlins first two playoff games in 1997 scoring the winning runs in the bottom of the ninth in both games. The no hitters by Leiter and Brown. Terry Pendleton signing autographs after the game in the parking lot. Spring training games from 1998 to 2002 where I would get tons of autographs. Niners homer in the all-star game. Thats a good start, but there are a lot more crammed in there.
May 5, 200521 yr Author Wow, there are so many! But the one that I'll always remember was when Alex hit the homerun (Game 4) 'cause I jumped off my bed, started screaming "Marlins win! Marlins win!", and woke up everyone in my house.? :thumbup 763779[/snapback] :lol I went to bed right after the Yanks tied it. I was so mad :lol Right before I went upstairs I said to my dad that Gonzo was going to get a homer and win it. While I was laying in bed I heard my dad go crazy down stairs and he yelled.. GONZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I got out of bed and started running down stairs.. :lol and my eyes were glued to the t.v for over 1 hour until I fell asleep :lol :notworthy :whistle

I was tired so I went to bed, but I couldn't stand not knowing what was going on....so I turned it on in my room. I was literally shaking with every pitch. These games are horrible for my health. :lol

May 5, 200521 yr watching games back in 93 with my grandpa and him teaching me all this stuff and me finding baseball cards he got from his job every morning when i woke up. leiters no-no in 96 against the rockies october of 97.... jumping on grandpa and almost breaking his back when we won the pennant and the ws and when i got home from school during game 1 of the lds and my grandpa called out to me when i got home put a smile on my face. this long ass winning streak we had around june of '98 when all the guys stuck to wearing the knee high socks, i believe it went 11 games. a game against the giants from may of '98, it was the first game i had been able to watch in miami in 4 years. aj's no hitter in 2001, i was about to go to bed because i was tired when i realized that he hadnt allowed a hit after 3 innings. i then thought to myself, let me stay up and see what happens here. and thank God i did. home opener in 2002, my dad and great uncle appeared in the herald, i was sitting one seat to the left to far. mordecai against the dodgers, castro the next night. october of 2003
May 5, 200521 yr My favorite moment was Game 4 of the World Series. I went with my dad and my best friend and his grandfather. I had so much fun not to mention it was a great game. We were seniors in high school so it was the last time we could really do something like that but I wouldn't trade it for the world. We had so much fun celebrating with everyone in the parking lot that we got lost and couldn't find our car. We ended up getting home at like 3 in the morning and had to be at school the next day and then back to the ball park. It was a great strectch of 48 hours and probably one of the better moments of my life because I got to share them with people I care about.
