Miami Marlins Mount Rushmore

The Miami Marlins have a short, but interesting, history. During that time, quite a few stellar players have gone through the clubhouse. Which of those players make up their Mount Rushmore?

The Miami Marlins have an interesting history. They have yet to win their division, finishing second in the National League East four times since coming into the league in 1993. And yet, despite never winning their division, the Marlins have won two World Series, taking home the title as a Wild Card in 1997 and 2003.

And yet, even the euphoria of those two titles was short lived. The 1997 team was broken apart almost the moment that the champagne dried, leading to the week that Mike Piazza called the Marlins “home.” At least we got a few baseball cards of those 19 plate appearances. The 2003 championship team attempted to recapture that glory, and had a solid showing in 2005 with their fifth best season in franchise history, but they could not duplicate their winning ways.

Now, the Marlins are a team in transition. The generally detested Jeffrey Loria is gone, replaced by an ownership group headed by the legendary Derek Jeter. And yet, there is more of the same. Payroll is likely to be slashed, and their star player, Giancarlo Stanton, may well be on the move. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Through it all, there have been quite a few star players with the Marlins. Even though their time with the franchise may be short, they still made an impact. Which of those players are a part of the Miami Marlins Mount Rushmore?
