This is a special one. Don Mattingly was my favorite player when I first started following the Yankees in 1995. Unfortunately, he retired after that year, after leading his team to the playoffs for the first time. He's currently the manager for the Marlins. A one-time AL MVP, Mattingly was named to six all-star teams and won a batting title. The Yankee Captain hit .307 with 222 Home Runs and 1099 RBI over his 14 years in the league. If you compare Mattingly's statistics with Kirby Puckett's statistics, it's startling that he didn't get more traction on the Hall of Fame ballot. Thank you so much, Donnie Baseball!
