Dressed in a bright orange Marlins jersey and stationed behind home plate during pivotal MLB playoff games, the "Marlins Man" has caught everyone's attention since last season.
But Laurence Leavy, a 59-year-old Miami lawyer, is about more than attending big playoff games. Before the Royals' Game 2 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday, Leavy donated $5,000 to each of the two families of Kansas City firefighters who were killed battling a two-alarm fire in Kansas City on Monday.
