Miami Marlins 1997 NL Pennants Title
The trade deadline signings of Darren Daulton and Jim Eisenreich offered experience and clutch hits. Luis Castillo (2B) and Édgar Rentera (SS) had one of the best double plays in the NL. Sickness and a damaged rotator cuff prevented Alex Fernandez from playing in the National League Championship Series, but the Marlins won 4–2.
In Game 5, Liván Hernández, a rookie pitcher, outdueled perennial Cy Young Award winner Greg Maddux 2–1. The Marlins defeated the Cleveland Indians in seven games in the 1997 World Series. With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 11th, Édgar Rentera’s soft liner deflected off Cleveland pitcher Charles Nagy’s glove and into center field, scoring Counsell and giving the Marlins the win.

On May 9, the Marlins brought up high-kicking southpaw Dontrelle Willis from Double-A Carolina Mudcats. Miguel Cabrera (also of the Mudcats) came through in a big way, hitting a walk-off home run against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Pro Player Stadium. Both Willis and Cabrera would subsequently be vital to the Marlins’ postseason triumph.
Former Marlin Jeff Conine returned from Baltimore, as did Texas Rangers closer Ugueth Urbina. These moves kept the Marlins in the race for the NL wild card, finishing 10 games behind the Braves.
