As you may or may not know, I sometimes like to have fun with my articles like my All-Time 25 Man Roster. Sometimes I like to take a break from writing about potential trades, reasons why the Marlins just lost again and so on.
So this time, I’m going to list all the jersey numbers and who were the best Marlins to ever wear the jersey. I’m not going to be unfair either, like when the Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t name LeBron James the best “number 23” in franchise history.
In here you’ll see some of your favorite Marlins of all time, you will see some All-Stars, some champions and some you will just think to yourself “Who?” or just the simple “This guy wasn’t good, how was he the best to wear that number?”
*All of these players listed have worn this number at least one season with the Marlins*
