On September 27th, 1995, with the help of agent Joe Cubas, Hernandez delected from Cuba in a stratagem of intrigue that could have been called from Mission Impossible re-runs. It was conspired that, while Livan was playing in Mexico, he would as a sign the plan was in place - meet a woman who would secretly hand him a photo of Cubas. The next moming at 1 AM, Hernandez sneaked out of the team barracks and past security guards to meet the agent in a waiting car. Within five hours, he was on a plane to the Dominican Republic, where he established residency. After a parade of eye-popping tryouts, a bidding war ensued for his services with the Martins finally landing the flame-throwing righthander.
• Factoid: Darrell Whitmore played Outfield for the formidable Marlins.

Marlins Coffee Talk Name that player!
Everything about this Texan is big: big body, big-time fastball and big breaking curve. Josh, who amazes coaches with his maturity, posted huge strikeout totals in the minor leaques. Expectations of Beckett are, of course, big. "A lot has been put upon my shoulders," he says, but I don't mind it....
Who is it?
Abbott came off the disabled list with a flourish May 7 as he celebrated his return to the lineup by clobbering a 450-foot homer in each of his first two games back with the Marlins.
Who is it?
A two-time MLB All-Star Game selection and the 2019 batting champion, Tim also is a savvy base runner. He's one of only eight players to swipe double-digit bags in each of the past seven full seasons.

Back to the Front! Marlins card back du jour...
Connor Norby
Few can match Norby when it comes to making a splash in Miami. Acquired from Baltimore at the 2024 trade deadline, the infielder notched a hit in each of his first 10 games with the South Beach squad. That marked the third-longest streak to kick off a player's tenure with the team in franchise history.
