1997 World Series, Game 7: Indians @ Marlins

MLB Vault
Cleveland Indians 2 at Florida Marlins 3, F/11 — At first, the 1997 World Series between the powerful Cleveland Indians and the upstart Marlins seemed as if it would be memorable only because it marked the first time a wild-card team made it to the big dance. But as Florida’s Craig Counsell touched home plate to end only the third extra-inning Game 7 in Major League history, it became clear that the two teams had played in a modern classic that was as memorable as any of the great Series-ending contests in Octobers past as Florida completed an unexpected comeback to win the franchise’s first World Championship.
