With a managing career spanning four teams in 22 seasons, Leyland brought eight of his teams to the playoffs and won a World Series in 1997 with the Florida Marlins.
Despite a short two-year tenure with the Florida Marlins, Leyland left a lasting legacy in South Florida, leading the Marlins franchise to its first World Series championship.

The team's success in winning the 1997 World Series significantly contributed to Leyland's induction into the Hall of Fame.
