Twenty-three years ago today, Major League Baseball passed a new basic agreement permitting the National League to expand by two teams to match the American League's fourteen teams. Eight years later, the Marlins played their first game before a sellout crowd at Joe Robbie Stadium, defeating the Dodgers 6-3.

Happy birthday marlins!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not our birthday. If I had to pick a day, it would be June 10, 1991, when Huizenga and Miami were awarded the team.

 

This is more like the date of conception.

Well, most of us were kids in 93, which is a good part of why we're fans, or at least why I'm a fan.

I was a kid in '93, but didn't start following the team (or baseball) until '96. I remember my 4th grade teacher got me hooked on sports, with educational football cards.

Well, that's kind of what I meant. We grew up watching this team play. Unlike others that grew up here forced to cheer for other teams like the braves, mets, yankees, and orioles because there wasn't a hometown team.

Well yeah, but I meant I was surprised there weren't more younger fans on this board... I mentioned everyone being older, as in over the age of 20. Younger fans would've grown up with the Marlins as well.

Well, not if they were raised by met fans!....lol Once the children of this generation of Marlins fans get older, then you should see more Marlin fans.
