Yesterday, Don Mattingly received only 9% of the vote in his last year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame. I get it - he didnt play long enough, his back derailed a great career, he never was on a championship team, he wasnt the GO-TO guy for the writers, etc., etc. As a die-hard Yankees fan who bleeds pinstripes, theres one thing that I know: Whether on the field or at the plate, there was NO-ONE that played the game harder, better and with more passion than Donnie Baseball. Period. From 84-89, he was the best player in the game and even after he was hurt, he kept winning Gold Gloves and hitting and hitting and hitting. To my favorite Yankee of all time: Thank you Don Mattingly. Regardless of what the experts say - youve been a Hall of Famer since you stepped on the field.
