Marlins Man Imposter Distracts Viewers During Dodgers-Phillies Game
The Marlins did not make the playoffs but were still represented in the postseason once again thanks to Marlins Man, the fan who wears a bright orange Miami jersey and matching visor and sits in very good seats behind the plate.
You may have seen him in the background during the Yankees-Blue Jays series where he took a picture with Bad Bunny.
One game Marlins Man did not attend was Game 4 between the Dodgers and Phillies on Thursday night in Los Angeles. And yet some people thought they saw him.
The @marlins_man was in NY Last Night and now in Los Angeles tonight. He is Literally Everywhere 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/aeGnvgU28a

That's right. There is another fan cosplaying as Marlins Man. Many fans were quick to note that the Marlins Man at the Dodgers-Phillies game was not the real Marlins Man, but an imposter. A fraud. A Temu version, if you will.
There’s a fraudulent @marlins_man in attendance at Dodger Stadium!!! How dare he?!!! Marlin Man’s attire should be copywrited and anyone seeking entrée to any MLB park wearing MM garb should have to prove their identity or be turned away. C’mon, Commish Manfred, make it happen! pic.twitter.com/Qb1BCcCqfM

At least one person did not appreciate the homage.
Imagine dressing up as Marlins Man and sitting in great seats behind home plate and being on your phone the whole game

It is certainly a choice. Since it is October, the outfit's color is definitely in-season. Plus, this could be a very early Halloween costume debut. And there's the possibility that this has to do with fantasy football punishment. The important thing is that everyone noticed.
