On April 4, 2012, the former Florida Marlins of Major League Baseball played their first official game under their new namethe Miami Marlins. Many in attendance were unaware, however, that the original Miami Marlins had played in their city more than 50 years earlier. As part of the AAA International League, the 1956 Marlins helped set the stage for major league baseballs entry into south Florida. During the five years this minor league club played in Miami Stadium, fans were treated to their first taste of high level baseball, with a team made up of battlehardened veterans and fresh upandcomers.The Forgotten Marlins: A Tribute to the 19561960 Original Miami Marlins brings to life one of the most colorful and flamboyant teams to ever play in baseballs minor leagues. During their five years of existence, the Marlins featured prominent personalities such as eccentric manager Pepper Martin, zany Mickey McDermott, maverick promoter Bill Veeck, and HallofFamer Satchel Paige. Although the team was an instant sensation, drawing national attention with their outlandish promotions, success did not always follow. The Forgotten Marlins relives those days in detail and follows the players through their triumphs and tribulations both on and off the diamond.Including rarelyheard stories about baseball icon Satchel Paiges years in Miami, and containing interviews between the author and several of the surviving ballplayers, this bookis a unique and comprehensive account of a truly original baseball team. The Forgotten Marlins is an entertaining and engaging read for all baseball fans and historians.
