Imposter in Orange: Marlins Man Photo-Bombed at Dodgers Stadium

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A copycat appeared at Dodger Stadium during Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Thursday, donning the bright orange jersey and visor that fans recognize as the signature look of Laurence Leavy, known as ‘Marlins Man.’ The real Marlins Man was not in attendance, leading to much speculation about the imposter’s motivations.

Leavy, a Florida attorney, has made a name for himself by attending major sports events, proudly representing the Miami Marlins. Despite the Marlins not making the playoffs this year, his presence has been a staple at many significant games. However, on this occasion, fans were surprised to see another individual wearing the same colors, sitting directly behind home plate.

While some fans enjoyed the humor of the situation, many quickly pointed out that the imposter was just that — a doppelgänger hoping to gain attention. ‘He’s a fraud,’ tweeted one spectator. Others commented on the amusing nature of the situation, noting that imitation can be flattering.

As October rolls in, some speculated whether the outfit served as an early Halloween costume or a consequence for fantasy football losses. Regardless of the intent, this incident attracted a lot of chatter among fans and on social media.

It remains uncertain how the real Marlins Man will respond to this homage to his iconic image, but it has certainly sparked conversations around the game.
