Laurence Leavy (born in 1956), better known as Marlins Man, is a Florida lawyer who became a ubiquitous sports superfan by wearing his bright orange Miami Marlins jersey to high-profile events like the World Series and Super Bowl, a look he solidified in 2012. His extreme dedication to attending events—often over 300 days a year—was spurred by a misdiagnosed liver cancer scare in 2014, and he funds his travel with miles and points while paying cash for front-row seats, amassing an impressive tally of 27 Super Bowls and 94 World Series games. During the 2014 World Series, his eye-catching seat placement behind home plate agitated the Kansas City Royals so much that they tried to move him to a private suite. In 2018, he broke his 25-year streak as a season-ticket holder after rejecting the Marlins' $263,000 counter-offer to his own $200,000 proposal, which he made because the team had traded away its stars. The irony of that rift was softened when he later won a charity auction in September 2018, earning a one-day "contract" and playing a final game with the very team he had boycotted.
