Huge Mattingly and Yankee fan. When he was with LA and if they had faced NY in the world series. I would of rooted for LA. If NY faced Miami Id root for Miami. Mattinglys the MAN!
Huge Mattingly fan here as well. It always killed me when Rice won the MVP over Guidry in '78 that the argument was a pitcher shouldn't win it, then Clemens wins it over Mattingly in '86. No one wants to admit they just didn't want a Yankee winning it. Hoping Veterans Committee votes him to the Hall. I tell my kids it's tough to see a Harold Baines in who was good (for yes a long time) and not Donny Baseball who was dominant, top 1-3 in league for those 6 years. And carried such professionalism and work ethic with him.
Robbed of 2nd MVP when Clemens won. If not for that he’d already be in Hall. He will get there. Just wish he didn’t have the back injury. He would’ve had 3500 hits
