The Miami Marlins are a professional baseball team based in Miami that competes in Major League Baseball as a member club of the National League East Division. The franchise began play as an expansion team in 1993 under the name Florida Marlins, sharing Joe Robbie Stadium with the Miami Dolphins, and moved in 2012 to LoanDepot Park, its first home designed exclusively for baseball, changing its name to Miami as part of the agreement with the park's owner, Miami-Dade County. The Marlins won the World Series in 1997 and 2003 during their first two playoff runs, and were the first team to win it as a wild card. They have never won a division title, and all four of their postseason appearances came as a wild card team.
