More on Don Mattingly
Description from Wikipedia:
Donald Arthur Mattingly (nicknamed "Donnie Baseball" and "The Hit Man") (born April 20, 1961) is a former first baseman who played for the New York Yankees of the American League from 1982-1995. He also served as the Yankees hitting coach from 2004 to 2006 and Joe Torre's bench coach in 2007. He is currently the Los Angeles Dodgers hitting coach.
Mattingly grew up in Evansville, Indiana and was one of the nation's top prospects as a high school player at Reitz Memorial High School in 1979, earning a brief write-up in Sports Illustrated magazine. However, most Major League Baseball teams avoided drafting Mattingly, as he'd signed a scholarship letter of intent with Indiana State University before entering the professional baseball draft. Taking a chance, the New York Yankees drafted Mattingly in the 19th round of the 1979 amateur draft and soon signed him.
"Donnie Baseball" is one of the most popular Yankees in the team's history. Although Mattingly never played on a World Series championship team or even appeared in a Fall Classic (just missing out by one season at each end of his career), his popularity is nevertheless comparable to that of Yankee greats like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Joe DiMaggio. Since returning for the team's annual Old-Timers' Game, Mattingly has consistently received the loudest ovations.
