- Los Angeles Dodgers 3 at Florida Marlins 6, F -- The Marlins won their first Opening Day ever, on April 5, 1993, against the Dodgers. Jeff Conine went 4-4 in this game, making him an immediate crowd favorite, and by the end of his tenure with Florida, he would earn the nickname "Mr. Marlin."
The 1993 Marlins had fantastic uniforms.
Those threads cried "South Florida".
Not anymore.
The Marlins must go back to this look. One of the best baseball looks ever. I love the uniforms and the hats. I wear them very often.
I love the teal too.....but Loria got rid of the teal in 2012, and when Jeter came in and rebranded after his 1st year in 2018, they didn't bring back the teal....we are able to rebrand again in 2024
Kevin Clements I love the teal too. And, I have been attending games since the inaugural season. I can’t stand the uniforms or logo since 2012 when they moved into their new stadium.
@@alexfonseca2063 same here, I usually go to 20 to 30 games a year
All the Miami Marlins organization needs to do is switch the F to M.
@@LittmanStethoscope Colors matter.
"And the Marlins win the World Series!" Wait for 97 and 03.
Was Amazing! Aún lo recuerdo como si lo tuviera grabado en VHS
That batting helmet. Beautiful. Marlins need to bring these entire uniforms back. The home whites, w/ black sleeves were beautiful.
I agree completely
They did for Friday home games.
I'll take the Marlins 1993 unis over the ones they started wearing in 2019
And I wish they were still the "Florida" Marlins
@@chris-tg1hvfrom what I understand, I think the change to Miami was one of the conditions of getting finding for that new dump they call a stadium.
@@SmoothCriminal12 You're right. Miami said if you want a stadium, you must be "Miami". I think they should have moved to Broward or Palm Beach Counties and kept "Florida".
@@chris-tg1hv Me too 😢
I was at this game. I still have the program and my ticket stub! I went with my daughter, who was just shy of her 6th birthday. That was the day she learned how to keep score. Her first attempt is found in the pages of that program. Watching this brings a lot of memories.
Nothing better than bonding with your parent(s) at a baseball game
I'll never forget this day.....I was born in Miami in 1960, and had grown up always rooting for a team from elsewhere. That was a magical day
The umpire had a ridiculously large strike zone in the top of the first inning.
Most NL umpires of that era had a large strike zone, Pulli was no exception.
@@Ghostrider6A - I saw this live. That was awful even for 1993 standards.
He got caught up in the moment instead of doing his job.
@@Ghostrider6A Incorrect strike zone, not large.
Chris Berman was pretty darn prophetic about those World Series.
They have won 2 World Series
@@michaelleroy9281we coming for a 3rd. It's been too long
Chris Berman can tell the future! 2 World Series wins and Jeff conine IS in the marlins HOF!
Those Marlins batting helmets are gorgeous.
I remember watching this in Gaeta, Italy on the USS Belknap.
2 of my favourite guys calling the game! YES!
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRYL!
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRYL!"
"That's not very nice"
"They're professional athletes. They're used to this kind of thing. It rolls right off their back"
Great game and I love those Marlins uniforms!!!
Scott Pose played 15 games that year. He'll always have this day tho
Correct.
that first strikeout...how the fuck was that third pitch a strike?!?!
Mike Piazza batting 7th. The two best players in this game were both batting 7th.
I was at this game and it seems like JUST yesterday!! Still have the program in immaculate condition. What a great day. Could see Joe Robbie Stadium from my grandparents home in Pembroke Pines. #GoodOleTimes.
If I could go back in time, I would buy a ticket and go to this game! Oh, the thrills and chills of being at this game!
Thanks for posting this. I remember listening to the game on radio as I was working.
that first batter was robbed the ump was going to call a strike no matter where it was
For a minute there, I thought I was watching Game 5 of the NLCS. Something about Florida huh?
NostalgiaMan lmao still salty?
I remember watching this game as a kid. I was a Dodger fan, but loved those new Marlin unis and even bought their hat. Thanks for posting.
Seeing this was the first game in Marlins history, they didn't have an old uni so this uni was not "new ", it was one of their Inaugural Year unis, their debut uniform.
David Cobb shut up
Nice to see how the stadiums then didn't have advertising plastered everywhere, behind home, the outfield walls, dugouts, etc, etc.
OMG I can’t believe that I was there!!!
Watched this live...oh to be 13 again and look forward to Opening Day.
Darryl Strawberry would only play 31 more games after this, hitting just .140 and bottoming out with his addictions.
Charlie Hough the starting pitcher is 74 years old now. Pretty wild!
He was 45 in this game and looked like he was 74 😅
I miss the ESPN theme Song they had for baseball!! Damn ESPN changed all that up for some stupid ass reason. ESPN and Sportscenter suck now
I'm only 3 years younger than Charlie Hough was in this game, but I don't look like I'm in my 60s the way he does here.
I saw him at a gas station 3 years ago in Brea California where he lives, and he looks the SAME. But at least now he’s in his 70’s.
He already looked like if he was in his mid - 50's on his 1972 Topps rookie card. 😄
Always loved the teal Marlins logos and unis
I loved those teal uniforms. Wish they would have kept them. So unique to baseball, and they just scream South Florida. Every other team looks the exact same these days (although to their credit, the Marlins still rock unique unis.)
I love the Marlins from 1993, I'm a huge Marlins fan, 1993 is the year I was born, it was Florida Marlins but now the Miami Marlins. I like the old 1993-2011 Marlins logo better than the new logo. Thank you for celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Florida/Miami Marlins in 2023, I love the Marlins! 😀
Hello everyone I'm Kermit the Frog along side Buck Martinez.
love this team, love this game. bought a 1993 charlie hough baseball card (no stats for marlins yet, but in marlins uniform) to commemorate the first pitch in marlins history.
It's odd to see a single digit number with the zero in front of it on a jersey...Benito Santiago 09
". . . in 2525 or whenever it is that the Marlins make their first World Series . . ." Ha, it would only take four years.
I remember the days when going to Marlins games was fun. I'd take an exciting team still playing at Hard Rock than the team we have at the new stadium. The Marlins lost their charm, I hope they come back
I agree with you one hundred percent. Their is something about the new stadium and the new uniform/logos that I just don’t like. I can’t exactly figure out why I don’t like it, but I don’t.
Nostalgia: getting a Colorado Rockies and a Florida marlins snap back hat in 1993, mlb influence, thought I’d be pro at 10
thanks for posting...watching this made life easier with covid outside...thanks...stay safe..stay healthy
Was Leslie Neilsen behind the plate? Those strike calls were egregious
Lol I was waiting for the ump to do a little dance to the crowd lol
Jesus. Hough is 45-years-old and he looks like he's in his 60's.
he lived life VERY HARD if you hear his story
@@miamidolphinsfan I mean, he's not dead though.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 It's not the years it's the mileage.
Don't take Our Lord's Name in vain.
RapidCycling07 he’s not my lord
Conine the Barbarian 3 blind Weiss Orestes Emotionally Destrade those were the days
The strike zones where alot wider in those days
The umpire just sucks lol
That Offerman called 3rd strike in the very first at bat is probably the worst called strike in the history of baseball.
Loved those colors and jerseys!
This was a great ballgame
'And the Marlins have won the World Series!' LOL - who would've guessed then that'd actually happen four years later?
Makes you realize how announcers praise everything that's new. It didn't take long for the stadium to be publicly mocked.
This is awesome. Now I want to see Arizona and Tampa Bay's first games.
Marlins should have never ditched those teal uniforms with the pinstripes.
OMG! That's Incredible. I Love The Marlins desde que jugué Ken Griffith Jr. en SNES! Quería saber quienes eran sus verdaderos nombres
I agree the teal look was awesome
Thank you for uploading these videos
I loved the light blue helmet, wish they still used them.
LOL at 6:05 THE MARLINS have won another world series!
The National League used to have uniforms that were COLORFUL COLORFUL COLORFUL! Teal for Marlins, Orange for Astros, Brown & Yellow for Padres, Yellow for Pirates, Maroon for Phillies, Now the team colors are so bland for the most part anymore....ugh.
The Astros uniforms are butt-ugly. I liked the 1974 style.
Brown and yellow is back for the padres! I'm excited for this move
Wow. Do my eyes deceive me? Those first 3 batters looked like Livan Hernandez and Eric Gregg doing their thing.
Chris Berman at his best! Super entertaining game and the start of Mr. Marlin!
When there was actually a glimmer of hope......
I remember watching that game too
thank four the up load!
Chris Berman is as awful as the ump's strike zone.
not gonna comment on berman but yeah the home plate ump was weird almost all game. still a cool event
@@404chan The ump wanted MIA to win clearly.
@@jamesrobbins3566 they were the Florida Marlins at the time.
@@luvfreedom1470 true
Charlie Hough, goes down in history for a second time...
Tampa Bay also had great looking uniforms before they were a good team. I liked the green. At least their current blue is better than the Marlins current uniform. I just think aquatic marine looking uniforms are cool colors. The Mariners and Blue Jays probably have the best uniforms currently.
Any chance you can upload the Phillies/Astros game from later that night at 7:30? lol
How about the Colorado Rockies first game...or even home game?
I can't believe I didn't know that ESPN aired this game. I watched it on the Marlins' OTA network after school.
WBFS Channel 33 was an OTA network but I watched it on ESPN, I had to wait until the Braves came in to play the Marlins on April 22, 1993 to attend my first Marlins game.
@@davidcobb2693 I'm a lifelong Tampa Bay Area resident and what was then WTMV channel 32 (now WMOR-TV) was our affiliate before the Rays came on the scene.
@@marcus813 You have my condolences, lol! I was talking about the Marlins and back then WBFS channel 33 was the LOCAL affiliate, covering the Fort Lauderdale/Miami broadcasting area, Joe Robbie Stadium practically sat on the county line separating Dade ( Miami's county ) from Broward county ( Fort Lauderdale's county ), this was before Dade county became Miami-Dade county.
@@davidcobb2693 Also before the neighborhood the stadium sits on became part of Miami Gardens.
April 5 2020 27th Anniversary
I was there, having traveled to Miami from my home in the Pittsburgh area explicitly to be there. Forgot sunblock. Sat in the right field seats for three innings, and never, before or since, have I been sunburned worse. Blisters. Nausea. Would've went to the hospital had it not been for not having health insurance at the time. Young, stupid, sunburned 20-something me. LOL
Reason why I like the Marlins is because the uniform colors the white & teal, black & teal including the fish.
Listen to that excitement... we can eventually get that back, but first Loria needs to be replaced with a REAL owner.
First strikeouts in top half 1st are so comical! Could've put 2 "normal" strike zones together and still wouldn't be a strike
Great first game for the Marlins, South Florida was a great place to expand MLB to.
🤣🤣🤣
WOW BUCK MARTINEZ O_O I see him do the Jays broadcasts and to see this, man he's young haha.
I Didn't Know That Was Buck Martinez
He was 46 years old back then.
omg this is awesome thanx
The home plate umpire was inept in the top of the first. Gave Hough strikes that weren't even close.
Dave Dombrowski built both teams.
good ol charlie hough
I see ump had trouble understanding the strike zone back then as well.
That was good seeing ESPN cover the Marlins' 1st game.
Now what did you all think of Chris Berman?
As an old soul person myself, I miss him.
Outside corner??? That 1st K was insanely terrible. I can hear Bob Uecker saying…”Juuuust a bit outside.”
6:05
Ancient One: You’re about 10 years too early
I was at this game --did you see me in the stands?
does anyone else use these videos as a sleep aid?
Great memories
damn buck martinez in his younger days
I was there in the nose bleeds in right field behind the pole ....
Considered the best catch in Marlins history at 1:34:46. Look how much ground he covered...
i know i'm going necromancer with this reply (5 year old comment) but still - he didn't run too hard, he even stops running at the end. how is it the best catch in marlins history
@@404chan Let me school you with multipal reasons why this may just be the best catch in Marlins history.
1, the clear early April high sky he had to deal with. If you’re not familiar with what a “high sky” is in baseball and how it effects an Outfielder reading fly balls then you need to research it. 2, the way the ball got caught in the breeze and took off (announcers mention it after the catch). He actually ran roughly 80 ft (backwards) to track it down at around the 420 mark. 3, the ball had a rightly slice which forced Pose to reach back behind his body at the last second to snag it. If you’re not familiar with what a slicing fly ball is then you need to research that as well 4, not being familiar with the new stadiums layout and habits. For example, how the ball carries and the wall jutting out like it does.
I’m going to assume you never played the outfield at high level? I have. That’s NOT a knock on you. I’m just being real here. Sometimes a great catch in the outfield is more then just a dive or robbing a home run. In my opinion (considering ALL the factors) this catch was straight up sick. And yes, very possibly the best catch in Marlins history.
@@Georgieboy_4 You are crazy 🤣
I wasn't even born yet until 3 years
That night was National Championship game and Chris Webber 's famous error
Loria might be the worst sports owner of all time. Jim Leyland and Jack McKeon won the rings for us- not our terrible ownership.
Hell If Undertaker Owned The Marlins He Wouldn't Do The Exact Same Shit As Loria

Was the ump Frank Drebin?
I was 13 years old and in the seventh grade at RMS
lol what bs call that wasn't a 3rd strike to offerman the umpires should be ashamed
+adande lawrence hahaha worst strike 3 call ive ever seen, but the ump just wanted to give the expansion marlins the opening k
+adande lawrence Yep, ump got a little ahead on himself there. Wanted to call that punch out so bad.
They didn't keep the teal caps and batting helmets very long
Where's Chuck Carr?!!!!
Chuck Carr lead the NL in stolen bases in '93.
I was at this game.
