CHICAGO -- World champions in 1997, the surprising Marlins are back in the World Series for the second time in their 11-year history.
The "Fighting Fish," as rookie Dontrelle Willis calls them, knocked off the Cubs, 9-6, in the decisive seventh game at Wrigley Field.

The Marlins won 91 games in the regular season, one win shy of the total the 1997 championship team posted.
Then after winning the NL Wild Card, they upset the Giants, 3-1, in the Division Series.
