As many baseball fans have noticed over the years, this orange-clad fan who sits directly in view of cameras during games is known as Marlin Man, a Florida attorney named Laurence Leavy. Marlins Man was in attendance for Game 1 of the World Series in Toronto, but we've seen a fake Marlins Man at MLB playoff games earlier this fall.
The iconic Kentucky Fried Chicken founder's likeness behind home plate during Game 2 at Rogers Centre went viral on social media while the mystery of who was playing the character and why he was there
Toronto is now managed by John Schneider. He was initially drafted by the Blue Jays and made his way through their minor league system. When too many concussions ended his playing career, he ended up getting into coaching. Schneider returned to Toronto and served as the bench coach in 2022, when manager Charlie Montoyo was fired.
Apparently, it appears that's the real Marlins Man who's there in his usual orange jersey. No sign of the fake Marlins Man, but maybe we'll see him in a future World Series game after he made an appearance earlier in the 2025 MLB postseason. So there's your apparent answer: There you have it.
After 14 years as a major-league player, 12 as a manager and 10 as a coach, Mattingly is finally participating in his first Fall Classic.
