How could you expect anything less from “Donnie Baseball?” In the final season of his current contract, Miami Marlins skipper Don Mattingly isn’t worried about a contract extension or a new deal.

That’s why he is a popular figure in South Florida, despite three consecutive losing years under his watch as the Marlins manager.
