If you’ve been watching the MLB postseason games (and if you haven’t, start, they’ve been pretty great) you’ve no doubt noticed him on your TV screen. You can’t miss him. He’s the guy in the bright orange Marlins jersey and orange Marlins visor – usually tilted to the side, just for effect.

The image above comes from Major League Baseball’s 2014 World Series, as made evident by the words on the backdrop.

That’s an expensive seat for a man whose preferred team plays in Miami, about 1,500 miles from Kansas City.

Meet the man Royals fans are eager to get a selfie with this postseason. Laurence Leavy is also known as Marlins Man. He is a sports fanatic that dons an orange Miami Marlins jersey and visor to every game he attends.
