The Miami Marlins (originally the Florida Marlins from 1993 until 2011) are a professional baseball team that has been based in Miami Gardens, Florida since becoming an expansion team in 1993. The Marlins are a member of both the Major League Baseball's (MLB) National League Eastern Division and the National League (NL) itself. For the first 19 seasons, the Marlins played their home games at Sun Life Stadium. Beginning with the 2012 season, the Marlins play home games at Marlins Park in Little Havana. Despite winning two World Series titles in their history (1997 and 2003), they are one of two MLB teams that have never won a division title in their history (the other being the Marlins' expansion cousins, the Colorado Rockies).
