A native of Cuba, Livan Hernández had a rookie year to remember in 1997.
For the Florida Marlins, Hernández went 9-3 during the regular season and finished second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting. Hernández would go on to win World Series MVP, but his finest moment may have come on this day 25 years ago.
In Game 5 of the 1997 National League Championship Series, Hernández went the distance and struck on an NLCS record 15 batters. His effort helped the Marlins win 2-1 and take a 3-2 series lead over the Atlanta Braves.
