On Wednesday night, the 2016 MLB season will conclude in memorable fashion: with World Series Game 7 between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians -- two teams who haven't won a championship in a long, long time.

Yet while high stakes and drama are certain to be present, one big-game mainstay will be absent. We're talking about Marlins Man -- the orange-clad, seemingly omnipresent superfan whose appearance behind home plate signifies the game's importance.

Darren Rovell of ESPN tweeted that Marlins Man wouldn't be at Game 7 due to safety concerns -- a scoop later confirmed by the Man himself:

Sadly, it's true. Not worth chancing that one psycho person wants to be a hero to Indians fans. #betterSafeThanSorrypic.twitter.com/v4oZdZwSj8 — Marlins_Man (@Marlins_Man) November 2, 2016

For those unwilling to click through, the story goes like this. Marlins Man was hectored during a trip to Progressive Field in June, and had to be escorted away from the harassment. Rather than test the waters -- and let's be honest, it's probably not a smart idea for anyone to wear Marlins gear to an Indians World Series Game 7 -- Marlins Man is instead sitting this one out.

Here's hoping Marlins Man has an enjoyable Game 7 experience all the same -- and that maybe by this time next year he's able to venture into Progressive Field without fearing for his well-being.
