'AL champion' Marlins planning Back to the Future II events for 2015

As the world waits on the invention of a time machine, the Miami Marlins have found a way to creatively turn back the clocks.

The Marlins announced a season-long "#RewriteTheFuture" promotion inspired by the 1989 film "Back to the Future II."

In the sequel starring Michael J. Fox, the Chicago Cubs and a team from Miami -- that didn't exist yet -- play each other in the 2015 World Series. Despite being a favorite, the Miami ballclub lost to the Cubs in the best-of-nine series.

Well, 2015 has arrived and so has the latest clever marketing campaign with the following initiatives:

1. This Sunday, the Marlins social media team will live tweet the inaugural game in Marlins history from April 5, 1993.

2. During a three-game homestand against the Cubs in June, there will be a special event package with limited edition "Miami: 2015 American League Champions" T-shirts.

3. On Sept. 25, fans will be encouraged to wear their best futuristic 2015 costumes as inspired by the film for "Back to the Future Night." Special-event package buyers will get a Billy McFly bobblehead.

Both social media nights will also raise funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Other "surprises" are still to be announced, according to the Marlins.
