    Mattingly was pure class. No hotdogging, no bat flipping, no standing and staring after hitting a home run. Act like you’ve been there before. No question one of the all-time great Yankees.

      I loved him too, but if we had signed him for 96, there is no guarantee he would have gotten his ring...he was turning 35 and because we signed Tino Martinez to replace him, and as much as i loved Donny, Tino was integral to that team that year.... .292 25 homers 117 rbis.....compared to donny in 95, who was .288 7 homers and 49 rbis and a constantly bad back that destroyed his career.

    People today don’t understand how Don Mattingly during the 80s and early 90s might have been the most famous and loved player of all time. To this day I’ve never seen a player get that kind of devotion from fans even when his numbers declined from the back injury Yankee fans didn’t care and cheered him on. Try to imagine a Yankee nowadays who goes into a bad slump and fans don’t boo them. I think because the Yankees sucked so bad during Mattingly’s time there he became the only reason to really watch the games. I’ve never seen another player since even get close to his popularity back then except for maybe Jeter. The only other player I can’t think of that was that popular and would never get boo’d if they went into a long slump or the team played absolutely terrible for a long stretch was Mickey Mantle in the 1950s. I can’t explain the why but Mantle and Mattingly were on another popularity wise. Jeter got very close along with Ken Griffey Jr. Both were classy players and beloved by all along with Tony Gwynn but they weren’t loved like Donnie was the 80s/90s. It was just one of those weird things you can’t explain why but if you were a Yankee fan back then you know Donnie was loved on a whole other level than most MLB stars and even Legends who are now in the hall of fame. It’s a shame Mattingly’s back injury ended his peak numbers early. If not for that injury and later his wife’s problems he had to leave baseball to attend too... Mattingly would have been in the Hall Of Fame and gotten a few rings. Such a shame because Donnie deserved it. Many Yankee fans celebrating the 1996 World Series win like me actually got depressed a bit in that moment that the second Mattingly left the Yanks won a championship

    Mattingly was one of the premier players in the AL from 84-89. I am surprised he never got more than 29% of the vote on his highest HOF ballet. AL MVP, batting title, 9x gold glove winner, .307 career BA. Obviously injuries cut his power numbers down and shortened his career, but his overall numbers are very close to players that have been voted in recently. And no PED allegations!

    You can argue that Don Mattingly groomed the generation that went on to win 4 out 5 World Series titles in the years to follow after he retired. He taught those guys how to get the job done before he retired. I still think Donny should have played 1 more year, at least as a DH, he deserved that ring in 96.

Mattingly never struck out more than 43 times in any season. Only 444 career. Judge has now played half as many seasons as Mattingly did yet has struck out more than double (908). No contest.

    The Hall of Fame as of late has loosened big time allowing some of these players to get elected in even if they didn’t get any of the key numbers to get in. Don does fall into such a category but I doubt they’ll ever let him in. It is a fact though, he was the best baseball player for at least 5 years and if it wasn’t for his back injury he would’ve easily made it into the Hall of Fame.

It's all advertising, which is a hidden tax on everyone who buys products. Don Mattingly played before the days of bullshit contracts that ruined the appearance of stadiums with ads everywhere.

    I love Donnie, and taking nothing away from him, but the average pitch speed of these homers had to be about 70mph 😆 different game back then,

      No, they were throwing in the 90's back then.

    Derek Jeter sighting @ 3:53?? I didn’t know he played with Mattingly. I thought his rookie year was 1996.

      Jeets played a few games in 1995 as a late call up. He also was in the Yankee dugout for the 1995 ALDS, you can see him briefly celebrating Dons homer at the #1 spot on this list.

      *Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and Jorge Posada were with the team for all 5 games in the 1995 ALDS, but they weren't on the playoff roster. The organization wanted them to have the experience. It's pretty safe to say that it was a really good decision by them.*
