The Marlins were awarded a Major League Baseball franchise on July 5, 1991, and are two-time Major League Baseball World Champions (1997 and 2003). The Marlins play their home games at Marlins Park, a state-of-the-art, retractable roof ballpark and entertainment venue in Miami, which opened in March 2012. A group including Bruce Sherman, who serves as Chairman of the Board, and Derek Jeter, who serves as CEO, received unanimous approval from Major League Owners to acquire the team on October 2, 2017.
