You likely know him as Thumbs Down Guy and the meme that became a rallying cry for the Yankees at the end of the 2017 regular season and postseason.

But his name is Gary Dunaier, and he’s asking for your help.

On June 6, Dunaier had a varicose vein burst in his leg, sending him to the intensive care unit after he managed to call 911 from his apartment in Queens. A five-day stay in the hospital ensued.

As a result of the stay and other expected treatments and doctors appointments he’ll need, bills started piling up for Dunaier, and he launched a GoFundMe page, asking for help with some of the burden.

As of Thursday morning, the page raised $3,445 for Dunaier, past the $2,000 goal he set. The man that became an internet sensation still has the support of the New York baseball market.

“It’s been almost going to be two years now and still I’m still in stunned disbelief at how this (fame) happened and I still have no grasp of what the thumbs down thing means to people,” Dunaier told USA TODAY. “People come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for what you did.’ I don’t know what I did."

Dunaier gained his fame while attending a Yankees game against the Tampa Bay Rays that was played at Citi Field, relocated from Florida due to Hurricane Irma in 2017. A Mets fan, Dunaier gave his famous thumbs down following a three-run home run by then Yankees third baseman Todd Frazier.

That moment was captured on YES Network, and Dunaier’s thumbs down became the symbol of the Yankees’ run to the ALCS, with players often flashing the thumbs down from the dugout following a home run or a big hit.
