One of the most poignant moments in Sheffield's career came during his time with the Florida Marlins under manager Jim Leland. Leland's belief in Sheffield—which included a promise of a World Series win with Sheffield as a key contributor—was foundational to his development as a player. "He changed my life," Sheffield reflected, acknowledging the emotional impact of that support. The bond they shared is not only personal but also a testament to Sheffield's belief in his abilities and commitment to the team.
