Since we’ve been able to locate some of the files from the past, we will be posting many of our news posts from the late 1990s. Loyal Marlins fans will enjoy some of the old names and circumstances including our coverage of the 1997 World Series. You can read these posts here.

Meanwhile, check out some of our history on the Internet Archive.

F@B will cover the Marlins in a blog-style setting with news, rumors, and opinions combined with your comments and input. You can participate in the following ways:

• Subscribe to our feed
• Write comments (we will moderate these for now to control spam)
• Contribute to our Florida Marlins Wiki
• Submit a photo to our Flickr Group
• Tell us about any stories, tips, links, or videos which we can share with everyone
• Chat forum (coming soon)

One fun feature we should mention is your ability to customize the theme (colors) of this site. Simple click on the icons on the top left and choose your favorite theme. If you are using an old or odd browser, click on the IE6 logo over on the top right for a version that should work on your browser (and then go get yourself a new browser like Firefox or Safari).

F@B is run by two brothers who have rooted for and supported the Marlins from day one. We’ve seen the Marlins play in 12 different NL and AL stadiums, traveling mostly by car but also by airplane, to some of the best (AT&T Park) and some of the worst (RFK Stadium) ballparks ever built.

On November 22, 2001, “The Florida Marlins Ticket” posted what appeared to be its last post. After years of being one of the leading Marlins sites, we retired the site so we can focus on other aspects of our lives. We had many great years together working with the Florida Marlins and the online community to deliver you the latest in Marlins news. Who can forget the reviews from ESPN, The Sporting News, USA Today and more? Or how we overloaded an entire hosting network when Edgar Renteria hit a single in Game 7 of the 1997 World Series. It was tough to move on.

But now, we’re back!

Yes, we have a new name Fish@Bat (http://fishatbat.com), new look, and new features. But in general, we’re still the same. We will continue with our blog-style posting (yes, we “blogged” more than a decade ago) and we will continue to discuss and report on the Marlins. We hope that you can help contribute to this site with any tips or suggestions.

Thanks and Let’s Go Marlins!
