1970 world series
the championship was the marlins' second despite never having won a division title. the atlanta braves had won the nl east every year since 1995 going into this world series, a strike ended the 1994 season without division winners, and the philadelphia phillies won the marlins' division in 1993 (that streak would end in 2006, when the new york mets claimed the nl east title). the marlins also became the first team since the creation of the division series to win the world series without ever having home-field advantage during their entire post-season. , the marlins have a 6-0 record in postseason series play; until the tampa bay rays lost the 2008 world series, they had extended their home state's perfect streak to 8-0. this was the last world series game held in the original yankee stadium before its closure after the 2008 season. the last world series in which two stadiums hosted their final world series games until this year was the 1959 world series. the marlins have not played in a world series since 2003, but the yankees have, as the new yankee stadium opened in 2009, the year of their 27th world championship.
