Editorial Reviews

Product Description
There is nothing in sports on par with the Seventh game of the World Series. It's the guaranteed last game of a 28-team quest that begins in February. For a great number of those teams, that quest begins in Florida. For the first time ever - the quest this year also ended in Florida. The five-year-old Florida Marlins combined the wily leadership of Manager Jim Leyland with a team built through shrewd draft picks, trades, and talented free agents. They won the National League Wild Card - then became the first Wild Card team to reach the World Series by sweeping the Giants and shocking the Braves. The Cleveland Indians were a far different team than the one that battled in the 1995 World Series. This year, nobody expected them to beat the Yankees or the Orioles - but somehow they did. And so, these two underdog warriors slugged it out in the heat and snow of the World Series until they reached that quintessential moment - Game Seven. Even then, it went on - into the 11th inning - the second longest Game Seven in history - before Edgar Renteria sent all of Florida into a state of delirious celebration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marlins first championship, April 10, 2008
This was an unlikely scenario. The Cleveland Indians, very popular with the fans and comfortable with the new ballpark, Jacobs Field had beaten the defending champion Yankees. The Yankees had won with Mariano Rivera as rhe set-up man and John Wettland as the closer. In 1997 Rivera took over the closer role and started to show signs of how great a closer he would become. But in the final game with the Yanks ahead and Rivera in to close it out Sandy Alomar Jr. hit the game winning home run.

With Alomar and Thome and the tough hurdle to get to the series Cleveland looked like a sure thing ro win it. But hear can the Marlins a team with money that had bought star players like Pudge Rodriguez. They squeaked by their National League opponents and stuck it out with Cleveland until in the final game Edgar Renteria's dramatic home run pulled out the first World Championship for a Florida team. This was a very exciting series with a very dramatic seventh game. At the end of the season, the Marlin owner sold, traded away or lost to free agency the players that had been the core of their success. So the record of the Marlins plummeted and it too several years to rebuild. But in 2003 they were back in the Series and their new star Josh Beckett pitched them to a victory over the vaunted Yankees.
