The Miami Marlins will take part in the "100 Years of Wrigley Field" celebration when the team visits the Cubs in Chicago on Sunday, June 8.

In 2013, the Fish wore Miami Marlins' Negro League uniforms for a contest in Milwaukee.

Throwback Sunday at Wrigley will feature the Marlins in Miami Sun Sox uniforms. The Sun Sox were a minor league affiliate of the Brooklyn Dodgers between 1949 and 1954. The team played at Miami Stadium, and briefly played under the name 'Miami Tourists' in 1947 and 1948.

The Marlins' On Cloud Conine blog posted a series of Sun Sox images, including a sneak peek at the Marlins' upcoming uniforms.

Miami Stadium was renamed Bobby Maduro Stadium, and was once the spring training home of the Baltimore Orioles. Bobby Maduro still graces one of Marlins Park's entrances, and is the name of a street outside the stadium.

Photographer Andrew Kaufman captured some haunting images of the stadium before its demolition in 2001.
