Trivia
- Their championship in 1993, while affiliated with the Florida Marlins, was the Mavs' 3rd year of existence, and the Marlins' first. Thus, they became the first Marlins farm team to win a championship. The same scenario happened with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1997. The Mavericks actually won a championship before the D'backs even existed.
- The team's single-game attendance record is 5,804, on Independence Day of 2004.
