If you watched game 1 of the World Series then you noticed amongst the sea of blue one man in bright orange stood out. Decked out in an orange visor and orange jacket sitting in the front row behind home plate was Laurence Leavy, a diehard Miami Marlins fan. Royals officials reportedly were desperate to get him to move but were unsuccessful in doing so.

Leavy, 58, calls himself “Marlins Man.” He paid $8,000 for his premium seat to Game 1, but he claims Royals officials desperately tried to get him to move or change his clothes. Leavy told Clark Spencer of The Miami Herald that Kauffman Stadium employees offered him a private suite and more in an attempt to get him away from where cameras were shooting.
“The owner of the Royals was extremely upset I was there,” Leavy said.
A Royals spokesman denied that Leavy was asked to leave his seat or change his attire.
Leavy, a Marlins season ticket holder since the team’s first year 1993, says he was not trying to agitate anyone by wearing his team’s colors to an event that had nothing to do with his team. Rather, he has been buying premium seats to Super Bowls, NBA playoff games and MLB playoff games for years.
