Don Mattingly

Don Mattingly (born April 20, 1961), nicknamed "Donnie Baseball" and "the Hit Man," spent his entire 14-year playing career with the New York Yankees (1982–1995), winning the AL batting title in 1984 and the AL MVP in 1985 after driving in 145 runs. In 1987, he tied a major league record with home runs in eight consecutive games and set another record with six grand slams in a season, while his 53 doubles and 238 hits in 1986 remain Yankees franchise records. Despite chronic back problems, he became team captain in 1991 and led the Yankees to first place in 1994 (though the playoffs were cancelled), finally reaching the postseason in 1995, where he batted .417 in the Division Series. A defensive legend, he won a league-record nine Gold Gloves and retired with a .996 fielding percentage and a .307 career batting average; the Yankees retired his number 23 in 1997, making him the only Yankee so honored without a World Series title. After coaching, he managed the Los Angeles Dodgers (winning three division titles) and the Miami Marlins, earning the 2020 NL Manager of the Year award, and he now serves as interim manager for the Philadelphia Phillies, joining Frank Robinson and Joe Torre as the only people to win an MVP, Gold Glove, and Manager of the Year.
