On September 10, 1998, Darryl Kile threw one of the best games in his career against the Florida Marlins. The Marlins were the reigning World Champions but owner Wayne Huizenga decided to sell all of the main pieces of his World Championship team including pitchers Kevin Brown, Al Leiter, Robb Nen, and position players Charles Johnson, Bobby Bonilla, Jeff Conine, Darren Daulton (who recently passed away), Moises Alou, Jim Eisenreich, Gary Sheffield, Devon White, Mike Piazza, and Todd Zeile were all traded (or acquired and traded again for the last two) between the end of the 1997 World Series and the July 31 trade deadline in 1998.
