The 2003 Marlins, a team Secret Base did a previous feature on “how the Marlins accidentally won another World Series in the middle of falling apart”

The only World Series I never saw. I was in Naval Boot Camp at the time. When the division commander said "for those of you from Miami....the Marlins just won the World Series." He looked right at me. I was in such a happy shock. Then when I found out it was against the Yankees, I was even more amazed.

My favorite thing about watching old highlights from Fox is the sound effect when someone scores or the score goes away. Need more of that

My god this is such a core memory for me. This was the most baseball I can possibly imagine experiencing. Every single Massachusetts city and town absolutely lived and died with every moment. They made announcements about it on the high school PA system. Surreal.

Amazing Marlin moment and, Joe Buck? Correct...? with an absolute "o this happened" HR Walk-off call lol

As a South Florida native, the Marlins were the first professional sports team I ever rooted for. I was too young to realize how little the rest of the baseball world cares about us, and how horrible ownership has handled the team. But it really makes me happy we can look back at '97 and '03 as our years. Most baseball fans (and even our own organization) may forget those years happened, but die hard Marlins fans like me will always cherish them. I sure hope things improve for us in the coming years and we can become a more respectable franchise.

The 2003 marlins season felt like it was written. Something movies are made of. Low attendance, bad reputation, mediocre record; then boom. The train came chugging and it never stopped with ridiculous clutch moments. It was a dream. Having watched 5 years of dismal play, when they won It all, it felt like christmas morning as a little kid. Ill never forget.

Fun fact about that Jeff Weaver trade: one of the prospects sent to the Tigers in that trade was Brandon Weeden. Yes the former QB for the Cleveland Browns.

I love all these World Series Rewinders. Next one has to be the 1991 World Series. There’s just way too many storylines. Both last place teams year prior, beginning of Braves Dynasty/End of Twins Dynasty, Games 6 and 7, and all the walk-offs. It would be a great video with plenty to talk about

In 1998, the TV ended up on a Marlins game, and my naive 4 year old brain said “I’m in love.” Gosh, that team was horrible. By 2003, I was watching as many regular season games as I could, including the Miguel Cabrera walk off. I knew somehow that magic was going to happen. Maybe that was my 9 year old naivety talking. Everything about this run was magical to watch, and I love how SB captured every important moment. Reliving that time through this episode was an absolute delight!

The foreshadowing of the short left field fence was clever

After watching my Sox get our hearts broken I was never happier to see another team win a World Series.

The way you set up early in the video with the comments about the '97 World Series sign and the short wall in left were just perfection. Well done on this one :)

I was today years old when I found out the 2003 NLCS had shortstops on both teams named Alex Gonzalez.

Reminder that Jeffery Loria blew this team up after winning the Fall Classic by complete accident. Some people are dumb, others are idiots and then there’s Jeffery Loria.

Miggys at bat against the Rocket deserves its own rewind

One of the best rewinders I've seen, and I know nearly nothing about baseball. But man, when that ball flew right past that World Series banner... I had such a grin on my face. You guys did it again. Bravo!

What a game. I live in Miami as a Yankee fan and have the Fish as my NL team and this Marlin team was special. I was rooting for the Yankees but was happy for this young team that came out of nowhere. 2000's baseball was so damn good.

Man I remember the at bat where Clemens threw hi and in to a very young Miggy Cabrera and the look Miggy gave him before preceding to take him deep to the opposite field.

This was my first sports moment I will always remember. Staying up late with my dad we had just left miami a couple years ago...I still love the MARLINS. Hopefully we can make the wild card this year

God damn I love Seth's commentary.

Im so happy secret base is getting bigger sponsors this channel deserves all of it

Love to see the 03 Fish and the 03 World Series get a little attention. Great memories as a young Miami fan.

Wow, crazy to think your Marlins Collapse video was the first I ever saw on this channel. Great content as always!

The foreshadowing on the short left field porch - epic.

Almost 20 years later, the Marlins have a chance to make a normal playoffs for the first time since, and for the very first time as the Miami Marlins That would end the longest drought in sports, sans the pandemic year 🙏

Thanks for uploading

I really miss the Seth's Rewinder. Thank you so much

"Man, that corner is low for right handers. Anyway" That kids, is what we call foreshadowing.

I loves this Series, because I love random underdog moments like this, and so naturally this is one of my favorite games ever. However, the fact that you somehow managed to do a "deep dive" on this game, without mentioning the relief performance by Braden Looper, which is - in my expert opinion as a longtime aficionado of "absolutely no one remembers this moment" moments - one of the most amazing "forgotten not-terribly-good ex-closer gets tossed into a completely impossible situation with the entire season on the line, and proceeds to pull off one of the greatest random 'holds' in bullpen history" stories that MLB has ever produced . . . man, I don't know. I liked this video, don't get me wrong. But you really left something on the table with that one. I'm just saying.

Joe Buck calling it like it’s a snail race.

That was a great and fun team. I Really enjoyed that run to the championship! crazy its been 20 years!

So we talk about Steve Bartman BUT not about the Alex Gonzalez error?

"Why do you subscribe to a KZfaq channel?" Is a great question Sports are cool, weird facts are cooler, making me nerd out for 15 minutes? That's why I'm here

Been missing these vids

After the euphoria of the 2003 ALCS I barely even watched the World Series. As a Yankee fan, that WAS my World Series. Didn't know we'd only win 1 more over the next 20 years of course...

Great video! Speaking of teams that fell apart shortly after winning a World Series, you should do a Collapse video about the 2015 Royals

Thanks to the Marlins for sparing us another Yankees world series win! Please do a rewinder on Super Bowl 52 soon!

Hell yeah baby. Beckett's Game 6 performance and this walk-off were so epic as an 8 year old. Glad I got to witness it because it's been a dumpster fire since lol.

I love all the digs at the historical franchises that hadn’t won one in so long. Glad all those curses are now broken ⚾️

5:26, it was actually not a Pudge Rodriguez walk off, it was capped off by an outfield assist by Jeff Conine, and stands as the only time a postseason series has ended with the potential tying run being thrown out at the plate

2003 Florida Marlins were an unbelievable underdogs in the MLB playoffs

Fun fact about Miguel Cabrera, he will be teammates with Roger Clemens son, Kody Clemens in Detroit

Alex Gonzalez, also the name of the Cubs’ shortstop that year. He misplayed a ground ball in the 8th inning in Game 6 that could’ve ended the Marlins’ rally but… you know, curses.

I’m from the same town as Cabrera, I grew up watching him play for my hometown team and win 3 championships in a row in the Venezuelan Winter league, imagine the scenes after he won the triple crown and 2 mvp’s

I stayed with my folks in Pomapano Beach back in early '03, and we went to a couple of games. My folks even went to the deciding game against the Giants. Could see the potential in the young guys, but memories of post-1997 always loomed over the franchise.

As a Red Sox fan in 2003, I loved Jeff Weaver

Selig and the other owners shouldn't have allowed that first roster demolition to happen.

Oh that sound was iconic. I swear a variation of it was used for NASCAR coverage too for the yellow or green coming out or the ticker being on screen. SPEED Channel did something similar as did ESPN too, that sound and he the FOX one are seared into my brain

FINALLY SOME MARLINS GET SOME LOVE

cant hate the foreshadowing at the beginning of the video when talking about that teal monster

REALLY good content lately. The first part of the Vikings documentary was brilliant as usual. Brilliant Beef History from Clara (Simmons/Dudley? Thats spicy! 🌶️ Women’s Soccer 🥅 team fighting 20 years to get paid 💵 decently? Excellent piece.) SB drops nothing but fire, but there’s been extra gas 🔥 recently. Let’s go, SECRET BASE

Another chilling call from Joe Buck. Iconic! 14:44

That wasn't a Ivan Rodriguez walk-off in the 2003 NLDS. The last out was recorded at home plate and Pudge made the tag, but a walk-off occurs while the home team is at bat.

Luv me some Marlins black magic

I find it really sad that Jeff Conine was the only player who was part of both of the Marlins’ World Series teams. Just goes to show how greedy Huizenga was as an owner

Funny thing too is that Clemens unretired, signed with the Astros the next year, won the Cy Young, and then won the pennant the year after that.

Man, Beckett was dominant during that postseason.

I don't know what it says that my brain insistently filled in the name of the Florida Marlin's owner from 25 years ago, yet it has to think a bit before it can recall what day my wedding anniversary is.

Believe that the Yanks definitely win the series if they won Game 4. The Marlins were a young and scrappy team, but I just don't know if they could have dug themselves out of another 3-1 hole. However, winning that one to even the series gave them the momentum swing that they would never relinquish. As a NYY fans, you have to tip your cap to them. Weaver had no business being anywhere near the mound that postseason let alone a crucial World Series moment.

2003 playoffs one of the best ever

Loving that yall been dropping more periodically

Alex Gonzalez in game 4 of the 2003 WS, and Mark McGuire in game 3 of the 1988 WS = Probably the most unknown walk off home runs in World Series history (ever since games started to be televised that is)

Imagine Cubs-Red Sox 2003 WS matchup lol. Battle of cursed clubs

I'm not a sports fan, so I don't know how these events play out. I was thinking through the video like "man, the writing in these videos is so good, I should leave a comment to that effect", but then you spoiled the outcome at the very last second?! Yeah it's poetic and feels good but gah! In previous episodes you've kind of let the outcome up in the air, I prefer that hahahaha. Interesting video nonetheless :)

Ok, im sure I've missed the info, but where do I find the playlist of the music you use in these videos? And I keep up the good work, best content to listen to in my long drives.

This series followed by the Red Sox comeback in 04 made it clear that the retooled Yankees of the 2000s would never come close to their 96-01 team despite all those pricy free agents. "Mystique & Aura" were dead. Even when NYY lost in 01, the DBacks needed legendary performances from Johnson/Schilling & a miracle comeback against Rivera in Game 7 to pull it off, and the Yankees made it a series with their typical magic. But the Marlins just crushed them with little drama by the end, while the Red Sox flipped the script with magic of their own.

Man, I completely forgot the Yankees were leading that World Series 2-1 and that close to a 3-1 lead. Man, with their awesome comeback in 1996 vs Atlanta, I can’t even be a little upset about them losing to the Marlins. Things have to come back around. The 1996 World Series brought me back to MLB. And those NYY teams in the late 90s are probably the best team any of us will ever see. The 2001 World Series was the greatest series of all time. And the Yankees HAVE to lose the greatest WS of all time.

AH THAT FORESHADOWING I LOVE IT

once again asking for Shin A-Lam's loss in the women's olympic epee semifinal to get a deep rewind. a legendary moment for the sport that came down to literal fractions of a second

Boy, I was screaming!! Go Fish.

Please do a rewinder on Marlin Jackson intercepting Tom Brady in the 2006/7 AFC Championship Game

1991 World Series rewinder when?!?

I was so happy to see the Marlins win this championship.

The fact I was born during this moment is what made me a Marlins fan man

Can we please get an episode for the José Bautista Batflip Game, please?

The crowd pop for the homer was so weak it hurt 14:44

Yall should do a Deep Rewind on Jameis Winston throwing his 30th interception in one season, thats pretty historic

One would think that SB would have done SOMETHING by now on the Yankees when they actually win. Bucky Dent, and the 1978 historic comeback, Reggie and the Three Straight homers in a clinching game six win over the Dodgers in 1977. But....... crickets.

Aaron f'ing Boone! I still remember being in a bar that the fire marshal would have had an issue with when Jimy Williams took Pedro out. I knew it was over then. When Boone went yatd the place went absolutely insane. I went outside and smoked a cigarette, maybe 2.

Have never cared for Clemens. I love that the Marlins beat up them Damn Yankees

A quibble about an otherwise excellent video: Aaron Boone did not pinch-hit in the famous Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. He entered the game as a pinch-runner.

Do the 1991 World Series. Greatest series of all time. Game 7 is legendary!

Heartbroken as a kid being a cubs fan but loved them beating the Yankees.

best video

You should do a rewinder about Edwin Encarnacions home run against the Orioles to win the wildcard game

Kansas vs. Memphis. The 2008 National Championship. Mario's Miracle deserves a Deep Rewind.

I love you. I love baseball.

They've got the 2 most random championships in history

Posada didn't win the World Series in 1996. He was a September Call Up and didn't make the postseason roster. He did play a bit in the ALDS in 1995 as a call up that year and he did still get a ring. But he didn't officially win a championship until 1998.

I must be very old and very disaffected by baseball if I (as a lifelong Yankees fan) get warm fuzzies from seeing the names of the '97 Marlins come up on the screen.

As a Phillies fan, I remember this team just coming out of nowhere and stealing what was supposed to be the first Phillies playoff appearance in a decade. Then to watch them steal the Cubs thunder made me dislike them more. However, they were so much fun and that 03 NLCS was one of the best ever. Also, don’t just blame Bartman. The cubs bats, pitching and bad defense, led by Alex Gonzalez l, attributed to that downfall more than anything . Poor Stevie Bartman.

As a Cubs (at the time 11) I was so ready for a Cubs/Red Sox World Series. I guess what we got was OK.

STILL WAITING ON THE MIRACLE ON ICE REWINDER. MAKE IT HAPPEN ALREADY

Please do a rewinder of Marlin Jackson's interception in the 2006 AFC Championship to send the Colts to the Super Bowl.

Love it! Speaking of Roger Clemens, did you know he had a season with 21 wins, a 1.93 ERA, a WAR over 10, had over 200 SO with only 7 HR's and DIDN'T WIN A CY YOUNG? He lost to 27 Game winner, 33 year old Bob Welch. This was the only time Welch broke 20 wins in a season. Almost seems like the kind of thing a KZfaq channel about sports would be into....

One of my favorite teams ever, that Marlins was a beautiful mistake 😂
