On Saturday the Miami Marlins announced via press release that they would be creating a team Hall of Fame to recognize “Marlins Legends.” Former players, coaches, managers, and members of the Marlins’ staff throughout their 32 seasons of existence have a new way to be recognized for their contributions to the team’s history.
As they enter their 33rd season, the Marlins’ inaugural team Hall of Fame class include members of their two World Series titles: players Luis Castillo and Jeff Conine, alongside managers Jim Leyland and Jack McKeon.
The Marlins are the third of Major League Baseball’s most recent expansion teams to create a team Hall of Fame to honor the achievements and contributions of members of their organizations.
