We will continue today on the Marlins 1997 v. 2003 series. We took a look at the Florida Marlins best catcher of the two World Championship teams. Ivan Rodriguez won that nod easily. Here is a look at the results of the best first basemen voted by the fans:

This was a lot closer then I had anticipated. Derrick Lee clearly had the better numbers. It probably has a lot to do with the fan sentiment of Jeff Conine. Marlins fans are known for giving him a lot of love as he is known as “Mr. Marlin.”
Once again, the fan vote counts as two points. Each and every MarlinManiac writer choose Derrick Lee as well. Thus, Lee swept the voting and is the Marlins best first basemen on a World Series team.
Tomorrow, I will open up the poll on who was the better second baseman for the Marlins World Series teams? Was it Luis Castillo or Craig Counsell?
Topics: Craig Counsell, Derrick Lee, Ivan Rodriguez, Jeff Conine, Luis Castillo, Miami Marlins
Ever since I can remember, I have loved the game of baseball. I literally breathe, eat, and sleep baseball. Have been a huge Marlins fan since the day I watched my first game in 1999. When I combined my passion for writing with my passion for baseball and the Marlins, I found a role as the Editor of the Marlin Maniac. Hope is to one day become a national baseball journalist. Currently resides in Birmingham, Alabama, but was born and raised in South Florida.
