The movie's prediction of a Major League Baseball team in Miami was not as far off or far fetched as it may appear. At the time of the movie, Miami was known to be actively seeking a Major League Baseball team. It was less than two years after the film's release when the city was awarded with an expansion team the Florida (later Miami) Marlins who began play in 1993. During the 2015 season, the Marlins used some promotional themes and giveaways relating to the fictional Miami team portrayed in the movie. This included T-Shirts with the fictional team's logo noting them as 2015 American League Champions. On one occasion the Marlins mascot Billy Marlin was altered to fit the Back To The Future themed promotions and was temporarily renamed Billy McFly. In addition, one of the promotional events was held during a Marlins series in which they played the Cubs, the fictional winners of the 2015 World Series as seen in the film.
