15-year Marliniversary: Fish become first team to get to .500 after falling 20 games under

Considering that Major League Baseball has been around since the 1800s, there are few areas where the Florida/Miami Marlins stand alone. On this day 15 years ago, however, the Marlins did something no team had ever done before nor have since.

Once a dreadful 11-31, the Florida Marlins in 2006 became the first team in history to get back to .500 after falling at least 20 games under. The Marlins did so with a convincing victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, 10-3.

The Marlins were going for the series sweep of the Brewers as they arrived at Miller Park on Sept.
