Had the honor to play with this man for 10 of my 16 year career. What a player. Cap, thanks for the memories! HOFer easy, in my opinion

Without a doubt. Now, Paul O'Neil I could understand the debate and why he didn't make it although I think he deserves it more than some electees. (I'm a Reds fan from near Cincinnati) But Mattingly should be in 100%

It was a pleasure watching you also Randy. I remember Yankees from the 70's,, 80's and early 90's. Met many of you guys down at the old ball park in Chicago and the hotels. Don Mattingly to this day is the best hitter I ever saw, certainly the purist clutch hitter. The Yankees just kept putting them out there because then Jeets came along. But Donnie was something special to see. A lot of people say Mattingly doesn't have enough good seasons to be in the hall. I say that's because he packed a whole career into four solid years. Just one of his phenomenal years should qualify him. The hall should consider more than just numbers here. Best of luck to you man!

Mattingly was my favorite player growing up, but @randyvelarde7448 has a special place in my baseball Fandom as the first player to ever sign a baseball card for me via mail as a kid. Thank you so much for making a kids memory.

Tony Oliva is in the HOF with career stats: .304 220 HR 947 RBI .353 OBP .476 SLG, 1,917 Hits. Don Mattingly is NOT in the HOF with career stats: .307 222 HR 1,099 RBI .358 OBP .471 SLG, 2,153 Hits and 9 GOLD GLOVES. Yes, I know they played different positions, but it shouldn't matter. Mattingly should be in the HOF! Note: I'm NOT a Yankees fan. My opinion is objective.

A lot of people forget also that Donnie was a huge doubles man. As a matter of fact he led the majors in double three years in a row. It wasn't just home feats he was reaching. He was what they use to call a 'spray' hitter because he could hit the ball anywhere, and an exciting clutch hitter. He could do it all.

The HOF is a popularity contest, surprising that the greatest Yankee to never win a World Series has been excluded though, he's a better player than a lot of people in the Hall including recent inductees who's careers ended after his Harold Baines and Fred McGriff.

I love those days so much, those summers were always so hot sitting in the stadium, but things seem to feel good. Every time he came up to bat, it’s just sad that back in those days, the bandwagon fans were riding with the Mets, while Yankee stadium was nearly empty. Although neither stadiums will ever be empty Like that ever again, you can certainly see how phony fans are when your team is not doing too well.

He only had 30 home runs that year. If he was more of a power hitter they'd probably walk him after his 4th grandslam

@hughdismuke4703 7 ай бұрын

The thing people aren't taking into consideration is the fact other hitters have to get on base ahead of him to load em up. If you have no bases loaded ahead of you then no grand slam chance. The unique thing is Donnie took full advantage of it. And the real reason why Donnie didn't have an extended successful career was because of his back. He says he retired because of his family, but I think he used it as an excuse to retire. His back woes is why his home runs took a dive and missed a lot of games and pretty much why he called it quits. He was only about 34, 35 years old.
