Had season tickets to the first year of the Marlins. Gave them up after the first year, but then in 1997 a few days before the season I looked at the team and thought they had a great chance to go to the world series. Called up the ticket office, bought two 1/2-year season tickets that guaranteed me those seats for the post season.
Went to every post season game down here that year, and that means i was in the stadium when the world series went to extra innings and Renteria won it with a single up the middle to score Counsel. Went totally nuts!!! What an accomplishment for a team that had been around such a short time!!!
Then in 2003 the Marlins played my true love, the Yankees. Tickets sold out fast here, and had to pay scalper prices to go to one game. Marlins broke my heart by beating the Yankees in the series, but at least the game i went to was a Yankee win!!!!!
