October 27, 200322 yr Let's try to come up with a list of special things that this team achieved during the 2003 season. - Oldest Manager to win a World Series (72) - Only team to win a World Series after being 10 under .500 during the regular season. - The Florida Marlins are undeafeted during the post season (6-0) - Only team in baseball hystory to win 2 World Series after 11 years of existance. - 5th younger pitcher to pitch a CG shutout on a WS clinching game - 2nd team in hystory to win the WS after leading the majors in Stolen Bases - 5th team to win a WS game with a Walk-Off-Homer What else?
October 27, 200322 yr - Only team to win a World Series after being 10 under .500 during the regular season. The 1914 Boston Braves did it too. They were 14 games under at one point in the season. - Only team in baseball hystory to win 2 World Series after 11 years of existance. Technically, the Philadelphia A's won two World Series in their first 11 years. We're the quickest expansion team to two World Series wins. 1st team in 80 years to win the WS while averaging 16k/game The 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers averaged 13,423 per game. I'd bet there are others in that same era. Attendance tanked in the 1950's because of television.

October 27, 200322 yr - Only known team to win the World Series against an opponent with three times their payroll.
October 27, 200322 yr Are we the first team to win the World Series (God I love saying that! ) when the opposing pitchers had a 2.13 era?
October 27, 200322 yr Author another one, - Won three (3) straigh games on every 2003 playoff series to advance to the next level and win the World Championship (3 in a row after being 0-1 with the Giants, 1-3 with the Cubs, and 1-2 with the Yankees)
October 27, 200322 yr 1st team in 80 years to win the WS while averaging 16k/game That doesn't sound right to me...
October 27, 200322 yr 1st team in 80 years to win the WS while averaging 16k/game That doesn't sound right to me... thats because i made it up
October 27, 200322 yr - Only known team to win the World Series against an opponent with three times their payroll. I love that. To hell with Payroll giants like the Yanks, the Marlins this year and the Oakland A's teams that get into the playoffs prove that money doesn't buy anything in todays game other than a lot of egotistic freaks who don't care about the fans or their teamates and only want people like Steinbrenner to start SHOWIN the MONEY.
October 27, 200322 yr - First team since the 1981 Dodgers to beat the Yanks at home, and send them home
