miamibaseball Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's been 20 years since the Marlins shocked the baseball world with their first World Series title, and the team's home opener on Tuesday will pay homage to the 1997 championship team that beat the Indians in a thrilling seven-game Fall Classic. Former pitcher and World Series Most Valuable Player Award winner Livan Hernandez, catcher Charles Johnson and shortstop Edgar Renteria -- all members of the 1997 Marlins -- will take part in the ceremonial fir marlins-will-honor-1997-world-series-champions/st pitch before Miami faces Atlanta at Marlins Park at 7:10 p.m. ET, the team announced Monday.http://m.marlins.mlb.com/news/article/223427382/marlins-will-honor-1997-world-series-champions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yes! Exactly what I wanted! I asked this at Fan Fest and I first thought why bother asking because they probably already made their decision and my question won't change anything but then I thought that as stupid as this front office has been at times, and as easy as doing something for the 97 team can be, if they weren't planning anything then maybe me asking in a public forum would at least put the thought out there in public and would put it in their minds and maybe, just maybe something can get done. Now there's no way I can truly take credit for this but considering the sequence of events and the answer Samson gave me that day, I think I can smile feeling pretty good about my decision to ask that question. Now why they haven't sent me tickets to the home opener to celebrate this I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYmarlins Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Very nice touch with having Renteria in there. If Marlins were to be playing the Brewers, would Counsell take part in this as well? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerhead Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 One of the coolest things I saw them do was I believe in 2012 when they did the All Star relay throw with Livan, Pudge, Lowell, Conine. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. No, 2012 was the god-awful Mohammed Ali cart-out. I believe the relay was 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovertical Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I think I'd rather see CJ fire a throw off to 2nd instead of tossing from the mound. Here's hoping Realmuto can supplant him some day as the best Catcher we've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyofCangelosi Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm pissed that there are no 1997 throwback uniforms days. Fuck you, Loria. I prefer the pre 1997 uniforms. I think 97 was the first year they got rid of the teal helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
