The Marlins will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their first World Series championship in 1997 when the Cleveland Indians, their series opponent, come to Dolphin Stadium for a three-game series June 12-14.

Players, who have been wearing a commemorative patch on their uniforms all season, will don “throwback” uniforms on June 14. Among the souvenir giveaways to commemorate the anniversary is a 5-inch tall replica trophy that will be given to the first 10,000 fans at the June 12 game.

FSN Florida and Sun Sports, which are sponsoring the replica trophy, are also holding a sweepstakes for a chance to win one of 100 additional trophies. The networks will award 10 trophies a night during each of the 10 games broadcast between June 14 and 26.

Fans can register at the Marlins’ Web site or here. Registration is now open and the 10 winners will be announced on air during the 10 game telecasts.

MIAMI MARLINS UPDATE

There’s nothing new to report on a stadium-financing plan, but the full Miami-Dade County Commission on Tuesday supported the Airport and Tourism Committee’s recommendation last month that if a ballpark is ever built in Miami, the team should relinquish the "Florida" from its name and be known as Miami Marlins. The commission also supported eventually moving spring training games to the Homestead baseball stadium.

Commissioner Joe Martinez cautioned that requiring a move to Homestead could derail a ballpark deal and noted that a number of Major League Baseball teams have moved their spring homes away from South Florida, meaning lengthier travel times for opponents.

Commissioner Dennis Moss, who proposed the idea to begin with, reminded that the Baltimore Orioles play in Fort Lauderdale and that Miami-Dade County helped pay for the Homestead complex, which was going to be the spring home to the Indians until Hurricane Andrew damaged the venue.

“My feeling is if we’re going to build a stadium for the Marlins, it seems to me we should have spring training be in a stadium we aren’t using, rather than to allow the Marlins to play in a place where they are now, where there are two teams, and those folks aren’t paying a penny,” Moss said.

The Marlins share Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter with the St. Louis Cardinals and have a lease there through 2017 with two additional five-year options.
