The Marlins played the last of a four-game set against the Mets in New York on Thursday when a young girl named Mattingly met the man she was named after. Indeed, the longtime New York Yankees first baseman (1982-1995) was a very popular player in New York. And Mattingly certainly makes a better first name than "Donny Baseball."
