OCTOBER 7, 2003
At Chicago
Championship Series, Game 1
Marlins 9, Cubs 8 (11 innings)
The Cubs did not play a post-season game that went beyond 9 innings for nearly.
(Coral Gables)
Alvarez attended Coral Gables High and St. Thomas University, which lies four miles from the Marlins old ballpark in Miami Gardens. He signed with the organization as a free agent in February 2003 and posted a 3.09 ERA in nine relief appearances his final ones in the big leagues.
Though he was born in Mexico, Amezaga attended Miami High. The Amazin Amezaga served two stints with the Marlins (2006-09, 11), slashing .255/.315/.339 with 39 doubles, 17 triples and eight homers in 437 games. The fan favorite appeared at every position except catcher and pitcher during a nine-year career.
(Miami)
A second-round Draft pick by the Marlins in 2002 out of Miami Southridge High, Andino played sparingly for them during the first four seasons of his 10-year career. He slashed .201/.250/.299 in 79 games before finding some success with the Orioles over the next four seasons. Andino returned to Miami in 2016, going 7-for-24 in 13 games.
