Purchase Florida Marlins Playoff Tickets at Onlineseats
The Florida Marlins may have come along 90 years after the first World Series, but the fall still means post season baseball to the young franchise. The thrill of playing in October after the summer humidity has finally been swept away and the evenings have cooled is not lost on the youth. The team has been to the playoffs and its fans have bought tickets in the past to the sport that used to only visit the state of Florida for spring training.
Florida Marlins 2009 Playoffs
The Florida Marlins have been in the playoffs twice in their short time in Major League Baseball and have been able to extend that invitation to crash the party at the World Series both times. In Florida it seems as if playoff tickets will surely mean World Series tickets.
Five years after the first pitch was thrown for the ball club, Florida snuck into the playoffs with tickets thanks to the Wild Card. The 92-70 Marlins could not dethrone the Atlanta Braves from the top spot in the National League East, but they could knock them out of the playoffs with a series victory in six games in the National League Championship Series.
The Marlins were a team stacked with talent acquired through free agency that season. Kevin Brown was the ace pitcher and Gary Sheffield, Moises Alou, and Bobby Bonilla were veterans supported by youngsters like Luis Castillo and Edgar Renteria. The Marlins may have been a young franchise, but the roster had years of experience that included their own tickets to the playoffs.
Florida went into the World Series underdogs against the Cleveland Indians. The Indians, like the Braves, were a team noted for their impressive regular season finishes and their disappointing post seasons. Playoff tickets were regularly bought in often times futile hope of a championship to cement their place in history as a great team of the ‘90s. The Marlins took the Indians to seven games before winning the final game 3-2.
Florida Marlins Background
The Marlins came back to the fall classic five years later with a team led by young talent instead of high priced free agents, apart from Ivan Rodriguez. A.J. Burnett, Josh Becket, Mark Redman, and Dontrelle Willis made up a deadly young rotation that again won the Marlins a Wild Card. The team took their playoff tickets to San Francisco where they denied Barry Bonds his chance at a championship, then to Chicago where they upset the Cubs, and finally to New York to defeat the Yankees.
The Marlins have developed a reputation as sure World Series bets whenever they go to the post season, making playoff tickets to catch a game at Dolphins Stadium. This season is no different as the team must rely on formidable lineup to smash their way to victory. Hanley Ramirez, Jorge Cantu, Dan Uggla, and Mike Jacobs provide the power for the team that shuns just trying to make contact. The sluggers have to swing for the fences with a pitching staff that lacks the experience on the mound. Ricky Nolasco has been the ace while Chris Volstad and Josh Johnston have made an impact, taking on starters roles midway through the season.
