A petition on Change.org is asking for the now quasi-famous “Marlins Man” to be added to the popular video game MLB 15: The Show. But not so fast, internet.
Here are seven super fans who should be added to the game first.
Ronnie Woo Woo
Homeless janitor-turned-Wrigley Field staple, Ronnie Woo Woo (real name Ronnie Wickers) has been coming to Chicago Cubs games since, he says, the late 1940s. For the last 30 years, however, he’s been a fixture in the bleachers.

When your player hits a deep drive to center in Arlington, what should happen? Hint: the ball should not just fall untouched on Greene’s Hill.
O’s Sunglasses Guy
“Marlins Man” has that bright orange jacket. O’s Sunglasses Guy has, well…I think you can figure it out.
Yellow Headphones Guy
If you’ve every watched a game being played at Fenway Park, you’ve undoubtedly seen Yellow Headphones Guy. Boring Yellow Headphones-Fenway Park Guy is Jeremy Kapstein and gifs of him do not exist because, well, he doesn’t move. Ever. Doesn’t even flinch. But he’s always there.
Bald Vinny
No more “Der-ek Jee-ter,” but there should be more “Baahld Vin-ny” in The Show.

Love him or loathe him, Zack Hample and his collection of more than 7800 baseballs caught at 51 different MLB stadiums are more impressive than just wearing an orange jacket to a big game.
Whether it’s Camden Yards.
Yankee Stadium.
Or Citi Field.
He could really catch any home run at any stadium.
Section 149 (Oakland A’s)
Do any fans in the MLB go harder? No. No they don’t.
