Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp
Template:Short description Template:Infobox Minor League Baseball
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp are a Minor League Baseball team of the International League (IL) and the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins. They are located in Jacksonville, Florida, and are named for shrimp caught in the area. The team plays their home games at VyStar Ballpark, which opened in 2003. They previously played at Sam W. Wolfson Baseball Park from 1962 until the end of the 2002 season.
A team known as the Jacksonville Suns competed in the Triple-A International League from 1962 to 1968. The franchise was relocated to Norfolk, Virginia, as the Tidewater Tides in 1969. After one season without professional baseball, a different Suns team came to the city in 1970 as members of the Double-A Southern League (SL). From 1985 to 1990, the team was known as the Jacksonville Expos during an affiliation with the Montreal Expos, but they returned to the Suns moniker in 1991. The club rebranded as the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp before the 2017 season. In conjunction with Major League Baseball's reorganization of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Jumbo Shrimp were elevated to the Triple-A East, which was renamed the International League in 2022.
Jacksonville won their only IL championship in 1968 as the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets. They won the SL championship six times. The first came in 1996 as the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. As a farm club for the Los Angeles Dodgers, they won in 2001 and 2005. Three SL titles were won as the Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, including back-to-back championships in 2009 and 2010 and most recently in 2014.
HistoryEdit
Jacksonville, Florida, has hosted professional baseball teams since the late 19th century. Six teams of the Southern League of Colored Base Ballists were based in the city in 1886. An unnamed team played in an early iteration of the Florida State League in 1892. With only a few interruptions from 1904 to 1961, the city was home to such Minor League Baseball teams as the Jays, Tars, and Braves, which played predominantly in the original South Atlantic League ("Sally League"), a predecessor to the modern Southern League. Jacksonville was also home to the Red Caps of the Negro leagues.<ref name=BRJAX>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
International League (1962–1968)Edit
The first team from the Sunshine State of Florida known as the Jacksonville Suns arrived in the city by way of Havana, Cuba, and Jersey City, New Jersey. Following the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the Havana Sugar Kings of the Triple-A International League (IL) relocated to become the Jersey City Jerseys during the 1960 season. The franchise folded after the 1961 campaign and was bought by a local group headed by Samuel W. Wolfson, previously the owner of the Jacksonville Braves.<ref name=SKouvaris12-19-2020>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Suns played their home games at Jacksonville Baseball Park, which was renamed Sam W.

As the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, the Suns ended their first season by winning the 1962 International League pennant with a league-best 94–60 record under manager Ben Geraghty. In the Governors' Cup playoffs for the IL championship, they won the semifinals over the Rochester Red Wings but lost the finals to the Atlanta Crackers, 4–3.<ref name=1962SC>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Shortstop/second baseman Tony Martínez was selected for the IL Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award, and right-hander Joe Schaffernoth won the Most Valuable Pitcher Award.<ref name=ILawards>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In 1964, Jacksonville became the top farm club of the St. Louis Cardinals. The team won a second IL pennant that year under manager Harry Walker with an 89–62 season, but they were eliminated in the postseason semifinals by Rochester.<ref name=1964SC>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Shortstop Joe Morgan was selected as the 1964 league MVP.<ref name=ILawards/> The Suns switched affiliations to the New York Mets in 1966.

When the Milwaukee Braves moved to Atlanta in 1966, the Atlanta Crackers relocated to Richmond, Virginia. This left Jacksonville as the southernmost team in the league, far away from the nearest clubs in Richmond and Louisville, Kentucky.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> After the 1968 season, the team was relocated to Norfolk, Virginia, as the Tidewater Tides.<ref name=SKouvaris12-19-2020/> Jacksonville went without a minor league team in 1969.<ref name=BRJAX/>
Southern League (1970–2020)Edit
A new Suns team began play in 1970 when the Double-A Southern League (SL) added expansion franchises in Jacksonville, and Mobile, Alabama.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Jacksonville became the Double-A affiliate of both the Milwaukee Brewers and Montreal Expos for their first Southern League season.<ref name=1970aff>Template:Cite news</ref> They became a Cleveland Indians farm club in 1971, and then began a much longer affiliation with the Kansas City Royals in 1972.<ref name=HistoryOfficial/>

Jacksonville became the Double-A affiliate of the Montreal Expos in 1984. After being purchased by Peter Bragan Sr. and his family in 1985, the team was renamed the Jacksonville Expos.<ref name=HistoryOfficial/> Much like in the previous affiliation, the Expos made four playoff appearances in seven seasons with Montreal but were eliminated in the Eastern Division series on each occasion (1986, 1987, 1988, and 1990). Individual players and managers, however, garnered several league awards during this period. First baseman Andrés Galarraga was the 1984 Southern League MVP, and skipper Rick Renick was the season's Manager of the Year.<ref name=SLawards/> Tommy Thompson was recognized as the top manager for 1987 after leading the Expos to a league-best 85–59 record.<ref name=SLawards/><ref name=1987SC>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Starting pitcher Brian Holman won the 1987 Most Outstanding Pitcher Award.<ref name=SLawards/> Two other notable players to appear for Jacksonville in 1987 were future National League MVP Larry Walker and future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson.<ref name=HistoryOfficial/> In 1990, starter Brian Barnes was the Most Outstanding Pitcher, and Jerry Manuel was the Manager of the Year.<ref name=SLawards/>
Upon switching affiliation to the Seattle Mariners in 1991, the team reverted to its Suns moniker.<ref name=BRJAX/> Over four seasons with Seattle, the Suns never qualified for the playoffs. Right-hander Jim Converse won the 1992 Most Outstanding Pitcher Award after leading the Southern League with 157 strikeouts.<ref name=SLawards/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Future major league All-Stars Alex Rodriguez (1994) and Bret Boone (1991) came through Jacksonville during the Mariners affiliation.<ref name=HistoryOfficial/>
The Detroit Tigers became the parent club of the Suns in 1995. Behind the leadership of managers Bill Plummer and Larry Parrish, the 1996 Suns won both halves of the season and then the Eastern Division title over the Carolina Mudcats. They went on to defeat the Chattanooga Lookouts, 3–1, to win their first Southern League championship and first league title since 1968.<ref name=1996SC>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Detroit-affiliated Suns reached the championship finals twice more but lost to the Mobile BayBears in 1998 and West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in 2000.<ref name=1998SC>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=2000SC>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Outfielder Gabe Kapler won the 1998 MVP Award after leading the league in home runs (28), hits (176), runs (113), doubles (47), RBI (146), total bases (319, and sacrifice flies (11).<ref name=SLawards/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Closer Francisco Cordero, the league's saves leader (27),<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> was 1999's Most Outstanding Pitcher.<ref name=SLawards/>
Jacksonville affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2001. Manager of the Year John Shoemaker's 2001 club paced the league with an 83–56 mark, winning both halves of the season.<ref name=SLawards/> They bested Chattanooga, 3–2, to advance to the finals against the Huntsville Stars, but the September 11 terrorist attacks brought a halt to the championship series before it began.

Jacksonville entered into a new affiliation with the Florida Marlins in 2009; the MLB team became the Miami Marlins in 2012. The relationship got off to an auspicious start as the Suns won back-to-back Southern League championships. Brandon Hyde's 2009 second-half winners swept Birmingham for the Southern Division title then defeated the Tennessee Smokies, 3–1, in the finals for the championship win.<ref name=2009SC>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Tim Leiper took over managerial duties for the 2010 season.
