No doubt, all of the baseball hall of fame inductees are well deserved but for me its a very sad day. This was my hero, Don Mattinglys last chance to make it. He still stands proudly in my own wall of fame, his autographed rookie baseball card hangs in a frame over my desk. There are plenty of fans wholl say he wasnt good enough for long enough, but for sure there are lesser players in the Hall. He was brilliant to watch at a time when the Yankees were at their lowest. Rather than hack out my own case, I would highly suggest reading one put much more elegantly by Bruce Weber that also serves as a fitting tribute.
