Apparently affluent Marlin Man Laurence Leavy is now a free agent. The lawyer has been a Marlin fan for twenty five years, when the lawyer went to apply for his typical Diamond Level seats package, he was shocked to learn the price had gone up. He spoke to Derek Jeter who shrugged off his importance to the franchise. He is now a free agent fan, Detroit is interested in him.

What the heck is a free agent fan? I know what seat fillers are, but what is the deal here?

Same deal up here happened with the Jets and that idiot, Fireman Fred or Ed. He actually resigned as a fan and wrote a letter to the paper about how disappointed he was in the team’s sucking and how the poisonous stadium atmosphere would cause the other Jets fans to belittle and berate him. Get over yourself. Good riddance. Root for the team don’t root for the team who GAF?

Hilarious that this lawyer walks up to Derek Jeter at some season ticket holder event and is like, Derek, you’ve probably heard about me, I’m mister marlin? I wear a fish superhero costume to games? Jeter’s security probably threw the guy in the trunk of their Escalade.

I like how he speaks of his importance to the morale of the team, he adds ambience to the fish bowl.

Derek Jeter was probably very diplomatic about.

He was under the scrutiny of the New Yorkmedia for his entire career.

Leavy’s story of how he became “Marlins Man” is actually pretty cool...

He seems like a really nice guy...gives tickets away to people who otherwise can’t go to games just for friendship and to build relationships and also gives them to charities...

But what mystifies Marlins Man is that the team he touts like a billboard is standoffish. He's suggested a "Marlins Man Night" where fans wearing an orange jersey getting a discounted ticket.

"I even said, 'Let me throw out the first pitch to a game,'" he said. "They wouldn't do that."

Counterpoint: douchebag.
