The 2003 Florida Marlins probably benefited from the notorious actions of Steve Bartman and the legendary accomplishment of Aaron Boone. Nevertheless, Florida prospered that October and gained its second Commissioner’s Trophy. The Marlins endured a tumultuous spring and fired Jeff Torborg in favor of Jack McKeon. With McKeon at the helm, Florida got hot and managed to qualify for the playoffs. The Marlins proceeded to defeat the San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees to win the World Series. Flamethrower Josh Beckett was awarded the Fall Classic’s MVP for baffling New York’s potent lineup.
