‘Marlins Man’ travels to the ends of the earth seeking answers about “his” team, the Miami Marlins, and he had quite the adventure!
The Miami Marlins fan going by the (self) designation of, wait for it, “Marlins Man” is taking his fandom for the team to places — quite literally. Marlins Man ventured to the British Virgin Islands, seeking the “corporate home” of the Miami Marlins headquarters — embracing his inner Sherlock Holmes in the process. Dude wants answers, and he wants answers now.
He’s seeking information on his team’s foreign citizenship, as well as wanting to bring the team “big whigs” some nifty gifties, so what better way to do so than traveling there yourself. Does he have a day job or is his full-time line of work just being annoying — I mean being Miami Marlins fanatic?
On-air personality Andy Slater of WINZ provided Marlins Man with a bit of recon on where to find Miami Marlins Teamco home office.

Once Marlins Man arrived to said location, he was in for a bit of surprise upon his arrival.
What he found was a “letterbox post office place,” and he was not happy at all. With Marlins Man sense of entitlement over the years, his childish reaction isn’t a surprise. However, it’s as entertaining as ever, and we are just getting started.

With the Miami Marlins executive nowhere in site, Marlins man instead gave perplexed residents of the Virgin Islands Miami Marlins gear. The look on their faces is priceless, and they have the look of not knowing what hit them; the MO of Marlins Man — ask Derek Jeter.
If things couldn’t get any stranger, Marlins Man proved me wrong once again.

The Miami Marlins are claiming International privilege to avoid paying the city of Miami and Miami-Dade County revenue that is rightfully theirs; avoiding the courts in the process. Classy.
Next: Derek Jeter, Marlins Man fiasco is bizarre
With the Miami Marlins organization running the team into the ground and treating the fans horribly, Marlins Man is a perfect gift for them. They deserve “Marlins Man,” and he deserves them; a match made in heaven (or somewhere a little warmer).
