Fun fact: Kevin Millar, Mike Lowell, and Ryan Dempster were teammates on the Florida Marlins for four seasons (1998-2002). None of those teams had a winning record.
Fun fact that is actually relevant to Boston fans: The trio of Marlins refugees, all of whom now work for MLB Network, each won a World Series as a member of the Red Sox, but on different teams.
Millar was one of the chief self-proclaimed “idiots’’ on the iconic 2004 champions, who delivered joy and catharsis to New England with the franchise’s first World Series win since 1918. Lowell was the steady and often superb third baseman (and World Series MVP) of the ’07 champs.
