Marlins Man and sports super fan Laurence Leavy joins the Andy Slater Show fresh off a surprise trip to Chicago for some Sunday night baseball.
This Monday, Marlins Man is in New York, but Sunday night he was in Chicago -- a trip that he wasn't even supposed to go on -- but, with Laurence Leavy, the next sports-based trip is always a surprise.
Don't be mistaken though, with all of his traveling, Marlins Man reached a work-life balance by working all day and attending games at night. He can make it work; do you think you could?
This week, Laurence Leavy hooks up a bunch of fan with prizes, tickets and more. Listen to the whole segment below to see how this all pans out!
About Marlins Man: Beginning in 2012, Laurence Leavy started gaining attention for his attendance at a number of professional sporting events (not just Marlins games!), always decked out in his bright orange Miami Marlins gear.
Originally an Atlanta Braves fan, Leavy was first noticed at a 2012 Miami Heat playoff game in which white T-shirts were distributed. Wearing his orange Marlins shirt after attending their game earlier that same day, the white T-shirt was stolen from his seat, causing him to be visible against the rest of the white shirts on television.
Leavy credits his prominence to the new color scheme introduced first by the Marlins that year. The term Marlins Man was first coined by a park ranger who recognized Leavy near the Golden Gate Bridge!
And although you can find him at many events, don't expect to see him alone! Instead of buying the premiere seats only for himself, he’s using his Facebook account, the Andy Slater Show, and other outlets to "pay it forward" by inviting total strangers — three and four at a time — to join and sit with him at games! The free tickets come with one simple request from Leavy: that those receiving them continue to “pay it forward” by performing some benevolent act of kindness for others in need.
All along the his sports-ridden journey, he will be continue to be joined by strangers-turned-friends.
