1997 World Series

From BR Bullpen

vs. 1997 World Series (4-3) Florida Marlins (92-70, NL) over Cleveland Indians (86-75, AL) BR 1997 World Series Summary

The Florida Marlins were the first wild card team to win the World Series, and the quickest expansion team to a championship (their first season was 1993) until the Arizona Diamondbacks won the 2001 WS.

Game Seven was an absolute classic.Boxscore Cleveland went into the bottom of the ninth leading by a run and nearly won their first World Series since 1948 before closer Jose Mesa gave up two singles and a sacrifice fly, allowing the Marlins to tie the game. Craig Counsell was driven in on a single by Edgar Renteria to end the game in the bottom of the 11th.
