Miami
Nobody gave them a chance. The experts said their manager was too old, their pitching was too young, and their ownership was too frugal to compete against experienced opponents with deeper pockets. What rivals did not realize, however, was that the Florida Marlins were making the most of their march toward the Emerald City. Like the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion, the team coupled heart and courage to survive what seemed like insurmountable obstacles, clinching the National League wild card with just two games left to play. In the playoffs, Florida again fooled the forecasters. After spotting one- and two-game leads against the Giants and Cubs, the Marlins battled back in both series to beat the odds and grab the second pennant in team history. Winning the World Series, especially against an experienced Yankees club whose payroll was more than three times the size of Florida's, was just another David versus Goliath triumph for the Little Teal Machine. Bunt hits, speed on the bases, timely hitting, solid defense, and potent pitching proved to get the better of Goliath in the end. Baseball

In Florida you can see major league baseball form April through September in Miami and Tampa Bay, spring training games throughout central Florida in March, minor leagues ball in the spring and fall at over a dozen Florida sites, college baseball throughout the spring in dozens of towns, and high school and organized youth leagues throughout the year in hundreds of towns all over the state. More than a million fans a year attend the minor league games of the Florida State League in hopes of seeing the next Al Lopez, Stan Musial, or Early Wynn, just a few of the ball players who played here and then went on to make the Hall of Fame. From the Timucua to Disney, Spanish explorers to Canadian tourists, and indigo plantations to sun-drenched beaches, Gannon recalls the people, places, and key events shaping the longest recorded history of any of the American states.
