Marlins Man was everywhere at the Preakness Stakes (Big League Stew)

We first became acquainted with Laurence Leavy, who's better known to the world as Marlins Man, during baseball's 2014 postseason.

At various points throughout the playoffs, most notably during the World Series in Kansas City and San Francisco, Leavy would pop up on our screen and immediately grab our attention with his bright orange Miami Marlins jacket and visor. It was distinctive look, especially considering the Marlins were nowhere near the postseason, and for better or worse Marlins Man quickly became a quasi-celebrity within the sporting world.

if you thought Leavy's fame would be short-lived though, you would be mistaken.
