He was wearing the same jersey and sitting in the same seat for game 4 against Baltimore. I was just going WTF the entire time.

Except for the notion that he has a law firm that specializes in workers comp issues.

If I was a rich guy and could go to all the WS etc. I would wear an Orioles jersey.

Here in Milwaukee at Brewer home games we have some gal behind the plate who shows off her implants, I think they call her "front row Amy?".

once you sit directly behind Home Plate, you are ruined for watching baseball and never want to see it from any other vantage point

I renewed my workmen's comp policy yesterday. I'm sure I payed that guy at least a penny or two along the way, since the HQ of my insurance company is in Florida.

[r0yals2012]

While the Marlins guy should be wearing Royal, he is able to afford to sit back there so he could wear whatever he wanted to. Those tickets are not cheap. Distracting, yes, but he's probably a huge fan of baseball and just loves watching the sport, no matter the team

[sbfinley]

If I remember correctly, he's been behind home plate for several of the most recent World Series'.

I was watching the game last night and kept thinking to myself "Is that tech?". I know he reps KC, but I had no idea he enjoyed going to the games. One of my favorite sounding flows in all of rap.

[PejaD]

He is sort of the baseball version of the NBA's Jim Goldstein. Though I think Goldstein is better known and many star players will say hi to him.

Amy W. is just a fit middle-aged suburban housewife with a nice Brewers season ticket behind home plate.

[lindeman79]

He paid 8,000 bucks for that seat.

[mangia1976]

Read an article today that said Royals asked him to change and he refused. At first I gave him benefit of the doubt, just a 'superfan' showing support. Now I'm convinced he's an arrogant over - privileged, self-centered d - bag who's craving attn. It's the WS dude, it ain't about you.

uh, or he paid good money for the seat and is entitled to sit there wearing whatever (appropriate) attire he wants...

[speedmasterp]

I'm amazied people think it's such a big deal. I go to a baseball game, I'm wearing orioles gear. If I moved from Baltimore to another city with baseball, i woudl go to games. I would also still wear by Orioles gear.

It's the World Series, it's not just about the Royals and Giants, it's about baseball.

Yeah I get that but he's ridiculous, that's all I'm saying. He's knows he's distraction and doesn't give a #@#@#@#@. Rich, arrogant, no one can tell him what to do.

Surely he's over compensating for some void in his life, now he'll do whatever the f he pleases haha.

This guy is AWESOME!

I'm so glad he doesn't care about the criticisms from dumb people who think it's some kind of SIN that he's at all kinds of sporting events wearing the Jersey of the team he likes....

Marlins Man is the nickname of Laurence Leavy, an American attorney from North Miami Beach, Florida who, after 2012, gained notoriety for his frequent appearances at major sporting events while wearing orange Miami Marlins apparel.

I'm curious if he has a backer or backers now that he is so visible behind home plate. If not.... he is paying nicely for those seats.

[t206blogcom]

He's big on paying it forward. If you follow him on Facebook, he'll ask who of his followers wants to go to specific games and he'll bring them for free. He took a friend of mine to a Nats game earlier in the season. Super nice guy. Died hard Marlins fan from day 1. As previously mentioned, owns a law firm and lots of Florida real estate.

Why do either of you care which games he goes to or what he wears when he goes?

As already mentioned, he donates to a lot of different organizations, takes people to games who wouldn't normally get to go, and when two KC firefighters were killed in a fire during the playoffs, he donated $10k to each of the families.

But none of that matters if he wears an orange shirt.

[r0yals2012]

He doesn't just go to baseball games he also goes to football and basketball games as well and still wears his jersey. The guy just likes enjoying his time.

I don't think that there is a lot of butthurt at all. I think people are just saying that you can do all of that good, and maintain a low profile. By dressing how he does, it appears as if he is trying to draw attention to himself, and that may cause some people to form a negative opinion. For instance, If I wore a shirt with a picture of a penis on it to work, do you think my patients would have the same impression of me, when really I am the same person?

That is a god awful analogy. He's a Marlins baseball fan, so he wears a Marlins jersey to baseball games. Unless you are a penis fan, that's not nearly the same thing.

No, I got your point, but it still makes no sense. He doesn't have to answer for wearing a baseball jersey to a baseball game to anyone. It's not offensive, or at least it shouldn't be.

I agree that if I enjoy it, then who cares, but it goes back to the point that some people may be put off by it, especially if it's the first time that they see me. That's all I am saying, and that is first impressions mean a lot. Especially when it's appearance, and that is all you have to go by. Many times this leads to the wrong impression.

I kid of understand your reasoning but I think when it comes to something as casual as a baseball game, people shouldn't be off put by anything that goes on there. Where talking about a public place where people get trashed and cuss out opposing teammates. If a guy wearing his teams jersey gets someone's feathers ruffled, then some things wrong with them.

Why are you comparing work attire to a casual fan experience? And so what if he wants publicity? Maybe that is his goal, maybe it isn't. He seems like a good person, and he reps his terrible team. He also has the coin to do what many can't, so maybe that's why people are hating?

Well, you guys can say what you want, but I still stand by my post.

Maybe agreeing to the 'attention whore' part of gonzagacubs post is where you guys thought I was being overly-critical, but he is definitely doing it for attention.

There's no other reason to go to an opposing teams stadium, where your team isn't even playing, and wear an obnoxious colored jersey where you know you are going to be on TV 95% of the time.

Call me crazy, but that is someone seeking attention.

And to clarify, just because I don't agree with most of you on this guy, it doesn't mean there is something wrong, negative, or jaded with me. Far from it.

[death2redemptions]

Preakness stole my entire jar of pickles, do not trust that silly goose.

He is way worse than the notorious Marlins fan. I highly doubt he'd steal my pickles...

I noticed how they sell big pickles at cash register at gas stations and 7-11 stores here in AZ

Never saw that in Windy City

It would be pretty nice if some fat dudes from queens stomped him out.

[JWBlue]

I don't know why it annoys me but it does.

You can be a Marlins fan . You can be a baseball fan . You can spend all of your money on tickets behind home plate for every single game . I have no issues with any of this . I dislike the bright orange jersey he wears everywhere . It's a costume which makes him a character . At this point he could sell advertisement space on that God awful jersey . Or McDonalds should just buy a seat behind home plate for every game , right next to Marlins man , and sit Ronald McDonald there as advertisement .

If I had money , and could afford to do what he does , I would . But I would change my clothes and dress normally . That's all . I like the guy . He does not anger me . It's awesome . But he sticks out like a sore thumb at some major sporting events .

He will probably have an ESPN 30/30 one day .

[IronMonkey415]

Will he there at tonight's game?

[Boo]

It is a free country (well that's a debate for another day) so wear what you want. You guys worry and get upset at the dumbest crap. There are more important things to get upset about...global warming killing 250,000, saving the whales, McDonalds going bankrupt, the people in D2R's basement, etc.

[Boo]

Will he there at tonight's game?

I'm going to say yes.

[nateyad]

This guy is awesome. Never knew all of the stuff he did to pay it forward. I'm sorry but not everyone cares what other people think of them. The guy enjoys wearing his orange Marlins jersey, so what. You only get one life so enjoy it while you can!

[IronMonkey415]

I want to hug him

[Orange October]

Marlins Man is pretty cool. I met him at the ALCS last year in Baltimore. He's a super nice guy and does a lot of good too. I think it's pretty sweet he has the opportunity to do all of that and chooses to help others/bring fans who can't afford it along for the ride too. I wish I could!

Yeah, but the guy had the nerve to wear an orange shirt! You can't just walk around Camden Yards in an orange shirt!

This guy summarizes why I dislike him. He makes the game about himself.

[Cubs_rock21]

My buddy took a selfie with him at Wrigely last week

[t206blogcom]

He's been doing this for years, but only recently wearing the Marlins jersey. He started to because none of his friends would believe that he's at all the games. He's said that they could never find him in the stands, so he decided to wear the Marlins jersey so his friends can see him.

You steal my pickles again and next time I won't grace you, I will be calling the cops.

I hate pickle thieves.

[messier2]

I guess he has a budget...no Marlins man within camera view tonight!

[bigunitcards]

he's directly behind home plate, the umpire hides him mostly but he's there.

[messier2]

Damn, the KC fans were blocking him during the top of the 1st inning!

Well there he goes! :)!

[lisu]

Good for him to rep his favorite team and wear a bright jersey. I didn't know much about him, but I just read about how he now brings a few fans with him to every game and then just asks that they pay it forward. Good for him. He seems like a nice man, and if he can afford it, good for him. Who cares what he wears.

[dbackschamp2001]

I'm pretty sure the Mets sell orange shirts. Would people be as pissed if he had one of those shirts on?

The Diamondbacks made Dodger fans sitting behind home plate change their shirts a couple years ago and people got all angry about it. This guy is a Marlins fan and people are saying that he should have to change his shirt. Why can't people just enjoy the game?

[thebrokepoet]

I'm pretty sure the Mets sell orange shirts. Would people be as pissed if he had one of those shirts on?

I believe if he had been wearing a bright orange Mets jersey and visor at the Royals Giants game last year in the front row amongst all the KC fans ... I would have still created this thread saying he should go buy a KC jersey . LoL

I however am not pissed . Again , I like the guy . I wish I could do what he does . I would definitely rock my CureSMA gear .

[hofcollector2]

Marlins man is distracting me from watching game... take off that fuc&{£ orange pull over dude!

[dbackschamp2001]

The orange shirt broke Fox!

[thebrokepoet]

He's got a KC hat on now

This happened last year in KC. They tried to make him change the bright orange Marlins jersey.

I must be blind because I did not see him, I only watched the first 3 pitches.

[Boo]

I thought I saw a whole upper deck section in orange shirts (Mets).

Open both eyes next time

Yeah, one of the smaller sections in the upper deck along the left field line was all Mets fans.

They made the game about them!! :coffee::coffee::coffee:

No ... Those were all Marlins fans

There were some points where he was kind of blocked by the umpire.

[oucats02]

I actually met Marlin Man after the 2015 All-Star game in Cincinnati at the player hotel. He was staying there too. He was hilarious to talk to and had great stories about things. He was working on picking up a "lady" which I think was a "pay to play" type of woman. Regardless, he took pictures with us, and said to reach out if we ever wanted tickets. He's basically a retired guy, who has more money than he knows what to do with.

[base set]

my question is ... is the following the first? and how many more do you think we will see?

I'd let him choose a weapon before we fought so I wouldn't punch through his brain in 30 seconds.

There was a pumpkin decorating contest at my job today. Thought this one was pretty hilarious.
