 PROFILE
These fish hustle their tails around a baseball diamond. The Florida Marlins Major League Baseball franchise was awarded to H. Wayne Huizenga (who also owns the Miami Dolphins football team) in 1991 and joined the National League as part of the 1993 expansion. Thanks to Huizenga's deep pockets, the Marlins quickly rose to success and won the World Series in 1997. After that season, Huizenga gutted the team to save on payroll, and the Marlins finished with the worst record ever for a defending World Series team (54-108). In 1999 money manager John Henry bought the team for about $150 million. The team plays at Pro Player Stadium but hopes to build a new facility with the help of public funds.
