The Case for Donnie Baseball
We at inductdonnie.com can't think of anyone who better meets the criteria. The eye black
and mustache alone are irrevocable contributions the hitman has made to baseball. Don
Mattingly's name can be mentioned with many players who have recently been elected into
the Hall of Fame. With all due respect for these great ball players, Don Mattingly's statistics
are comparable. For many fans, Don Mattingly was the very best offensive player in the late
1980s. In 1984, Don beat out Steve Balboni to become the Yankees everyday first baseman,
and went on to win the batting title. He won the MVP in 1985, and if it weren't for the Rocket in
1986-Donnie would have two. Donnie, along with Travis Hafner, hold the record for most
grand slams in a season (6), and the most consecutive games with a homerun (8). Donnie
was a six-time all star at a very competitive position. Not to be overlooked is his defensive
prowess, accumulating 9 Gold Glove Awards in 13 seasons. more here
