The '''2003 World Series''' (also known as the '''Centennial World Series''') was the [[World Series|championship series]] of [[Major League Baseball]]'s (MLB) [[2003 Major League Baseball season|2003 season]].<ref name="baseball-reference1">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/2003_WS.shtml|title=2003 World Series|website=Baseball-Reference|access-date=January 6, 2014}}</ref> The 99th edition of the World Series, it was a [[best-of-seven playoff]] between the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) champion [[2003 Florida Marlins season|Florida Marlins]] and the [[American League]] (AL) champion [[2003 New York Yankees season|New York Yankees]]; the Marlins upset the heavily-favored Yankees, four games to two. The series was played from October 18 to 25, 2003. This is the most recent Series in which the losing team outscored the winning team; the Yankees lost, despite outscoring the Marlins 21–17 in the Series.

==Background==
{{further|2003
The 2003 World Series featured the [[2003 New York Yankees season|New York Yankees]] in their sixth Series appearance in eight years. Opposing them were the [[Wild card (sports)|wild card]] [[2003 Florida Marlins season|Florida Marlins]], appearing in their second World Series in their 11-year franchise history. The Marlins became the second straight wild card team to win the World Series; the [[2002 Anaheim Angels season|Anaheim Angels]] [[2002 World Series|won in 2002]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/how-many-mlb-wild-card-teams-have-won-the-world-series.html/?a=viewall|title=How Many MLB Wild-Card Teams Have Won the World Series?|access-date=August 26, 2017|publisher=The Cheat Sheet}}</ref> The series was, however, somewhat overshadowed by the League Championship Series that year, when the [[2003 Chicago Cubs season|Chicago Cubs]] and the [[2003 Boston Red Sox season|Boston Red Sox]], both teams that had gone decades without winning a World Series (95 years for Chicago, 85 for Boston), went down in dramatic defeats only five outs away from the pennant, and each in seven games. By losing the series, the Yankees became the first team to lose two World Series to post 1960 expansion teams; losing to the [[2001 Arizona Diamondbacks season|Arizona Diamondbacks]], who entered the National League in [[1998 Arizona Diamondbacks season|1998]], in the [[2001 World Series]] and now the Marlins who entered the National League in [[1993 Florida Marlins season|1993]].
It was the 100th anniversary of the World Series, and advertised as such. However, it was only the 99th event due to a [[1994–95 Major League Baseball strike|strike]] cancelling the [[1994 World Series]] and the boycott of the [[1904 World Series]] by the National League.
The Marlins started the season 16–22 when they fired manager [[Jeff Torborg]] and hired McKeon, who had been retired from baseball for over two years. They went 75–49 under McKeon to win the wild card. At 72, McKeon would become the oldest manager to win a World Series. They lost the first game of the [[2003 National League Division Series|
The 2003 Marlins were largely led by players picked up in the Marlins' post-1997 championship [[fire sale]], such as [[Derrek Lee]], [[A. J. Burnett]], [[Braden Looper]], [[Mike Lowell]], [[Josh Beckett]], and [[Juan Pierre]].
==Broadcasting==
[[
The Marlins' local broadcast aired on [[WQAM]] in Miami and on the [[Marlins Radio Network]]. [[Jon Sciambi]] and [[Dave Van Horne]] were in the booth. The Yankees' local broadcast was carried by [[WCBS (AM)|WCBS-AM]] and the [[New York Yankees Radio Network]], with [[John Sterling (sportscaster)|John Sterling]] and [[Charley Steiner]] broadcasting.

The Marlins jumped out to an early lead against Yankees starter [[Roger Clemens]]. [[Miguel Cabrera]] hit a two-run homer in the first and [[Derrek Lee]] hit an RBI single. Clemens settled down and held the Marlins scoreless in the next six innings. When Clemens struck out [[Luis Castillo (second baseman)|Luis Castillo]] to end the seventh, it was then thought to have marked the end of his Major League career. With flashbulbs lighting up the stadium, the crowd gave him a standing ovation; the Marlins even paused to applaud in recognition of Clemens' what then appeared to be a
Clemens was set to get the loss until the Yankees rallied in the ninth inning against [[Ugueth Urbina]]. [[Bernie Williams]] singled with one out, [[Hideki Matsui]] walked and [[Jorge Posada]] grounded into a force play with Matsui out at second. Pinch-hitter [[Rubén Sierra]] fouled off two full-count pitches before tripling into the right-field corner to score Williams and pinch-runner [[David Dellucci]] to tie the ball game. The game headed to extra innings. The Yankees threatened to score in the top of the 11th inning when they loaded the bases with one out off [[Chad Fox]]. [[Braden Looper]] relieved Fox and struck out Boone, and replacement catcher [[John Flaherty]] popped out to third. The Marlins won the game in dramatic fashion in the bottom of the 12th inning when [[Álex González (shortstop, born 1977)|Álex González]] led off with a home run off [[Jeff Weaver]] that just cleared the fence in left to help the Marlins win 4–3. Prior to the home run, Gonzalez had been 5-for-53 in the 2003 postseason.

Marlins manager [[Jack McKeon]] decided to start 23-year-old [[Josh Beckett]] on three days' rest instead of [[Mark Redman]], who had struggled in his Game 2 start.

With the victory, the Marlins became the first National League team since the [[1981 Los Angeles Dodgers season|1981 Los Angeles Dodgers]], the last opposing team to win a Series championship at Yankee Stadium, to win the World Series without having home field advantage. They are just the fourth team overall to do it since the [[1984 Detroit Tigers season|1984 Detroit Tigers]], [[1992 Toronto Blue Jays season|1992 Toronto Blue Jays]] and [[1999 New York Yankees season|1999 New York Yankees]]. They also became the second expansion team in the National League to win two World Series titles, following the [[New York Mets]] who achieved this feat in {{wsy|1986}}; the [[Toronto Blue Jays]] of the American League, who pulled this off in {{wsy|1992}} and {{wsy|1993}}, are the third major-league expansion franchise to do so. The Marlins also became the fastest expansion team to win two World Series titles, as the Mets won their second title in their 25th season, and the Blue Jays did it in their 17th (the Royals, joining the group 12 years later, got their second title in their 47th season).

==Aftermath==
===The Marlins second post-World Series fire sale===
But the team began a full blown fire sale after the [[2005 Florida Marlins season|2005 season]]. They let Burnett, [[Todd Jones]], [[Antonio Alfonseca]], [[Jeff Conine]] and [[Juan Encarnación]] leave as free agents. They then traded [[Carlos Delgado]] and [[Paul Lo Duca]] to the [[New York Mets]] in two separate deals that brought in prospects [[Mike Jacobs (first baseman)|Mike Jacobs]] and [[Yusmeiro Petit]]. On the same day as the Delgado deal, they also sent Lowell, Beckett and [[Guillermo Mota]] to the [[Boston Red Sox]] for future [[Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award|Rookie of the Year]] [[Hanley Ramirez]], [[Anibal Sanchez]] (who threw a no-hitter in 2006), [[Harvey Garcia]] and [[Jesus Delgado]]. Just days after that deal, second baseman [[Luis Castillo (second baseman)|Luis Castillo]] was sent to the [[Minnesota Twins]] for [[Travis Bowyer]] and Scott Tyler. For his part, outfielder [[Juan Pierre]] was then sent to the [[Chicago Cubs]] for [[Sergio Mitre]], [[Ricky Nolasco]] and [[Renyel Pinto]].
Despite these deals, or maybe because of them, the Marlins actually contended for most of the [[2006 Florida Marlins season|2006 season]] before a late slump dropped them below .500. They are the only team in MLB history to have been 20 games under .500 and have a winning record at
[[Image:MiguelCabrera.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Miguel Cabrera|“Miggy” Cabrera]], one of the greatest players in Marlins history, despite just 5 seasons with the club.]]
Over the years, the Marlins became known as the team that will engage in the fire-sale. The Marlins changed their name (to Miami Marlins) and got a [[LoanDepot Park|new ballpark]] for the 2012 season, but were unable to change their ways, as they sold off players at the trade deadline and after the season after a disappointing first half of the 2012 season. Following the sale of the Marlins by [[Jeffrey Loria]] to [[Bruce Sherman]] and the installation of [[Derek Jeter]] as team president, after the 2017 season, there was some hope that the Miami franchise was about to turn a new leaf and make a serious effort at putting a competitive product on the field in order to rebuild its fan base's shattered confidence. Alas, this hope was very short-lived, as the new management team quickly sent out the word that they were looking to cut payroll as the team was supposedly losing money badly. During the 2017-2018 off-season, the team traded its star outfield consisting of [[Marcell Ozuna|Marcel Ozuna]], [[Christian Yelich]], and [[Giancarlo Stanton]].
The Marlins would not return to the playoffs until the [[2020 Major League Baseball season|
===Torre's last hurrah===▼
For the Yankees, it would prove to be their final appearance in the World Series with [[Joe Torre]] as their manager. They would not get back to the World Series until [[2009 World Series|2009]] when they beat the defending Champion [[Philadelphia Phillies]] in six games, this time with second-year manager [[Joe Girardi]] (Torre had stepped down after the 2007 season). After pairing ways with the Yankees, Torre managed the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] from 2008-2010. For his success with the Yankees, Torre was inducted into the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame]] in 2014. Since retiring in 2010, he has worked various jobs in the commissioner’s office, serving as a special assistant to the Commissioner since 2020. ▼
===Exit Boone, Enter Rodriguez===
In January 2004, [[Aaron Boone]] tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a pick-up basketball game in his hometown in [[Newport Beach]], California. In the game, Boone caught a pass from his teammate on the court and an opponent wiped him out on his side in a violent manner. Boone, who disobeyed the terms of his contract with the Yankees by playing basketball, was released fourteen days after the incident and ended up missing the entirety of the 2004 season.
With spring training a month away, the Yankees found themselves in the market for a third baseman. On February 15, 2004, the Rangers traded [[Alex Rodriguez]] to the New York Yankees for second baseman [[Alfonso Soriano]] and a player to be named later ([[Joaquín Arias (baseball)|Joaquín Árias]] was sent to the Rangers on March 24). The Rangers also agreed to pay $67 million of the $179 million left on Rodriguez's contract. Rodriguez agreed to switch positions from shortstop to third base, paving the way for the trade, because the popular [[Derek Jeter]] was already entrenched at shortstop. This was only the second time in MLB history that a reigning MVP was traded, with the first coming in 1914 when [[Eddie Collins]] was traded to the [[Chicago White Sox]] from the [[Philadelphia Athletics]] for cash considerations.
Rodriguez ended up having a successful, yet controversial career with New York. He put up huge numbers throughout his tenure in pinstripes, which included
Aaron Boone would become the Yankees manager in 2018, replacing [[Joe Girardi]]. Boone’s job prior to becoming manager was a color analyst for [[ESPN Sunday Night Baseball|ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball]], in which he was ironically replaced again by Alex Rodriguez.
