DON MATTINGLY New York Yankees Autographed NEW ERA Fitted Baseball Cap
The great 23, and I’m not talking Jordan folks. This one is something for the Yankees Lovers in the audience. Don Mattingly aka “Donnie Baseball” aka “The Hitman” played his entire career in Pinstripes. He’s one of a handful of players to hold the rank of team captain. In 1984, Mattingly won the American League batting title in 1984 with 207 hits and a .343 average. The following year he won the American League Most Valuable Player Award, batting .324 with 35 home runs, 48 doubles, and 145 runs batted in. Mattingly finished his career with 2,153 hits, 222 home runs, 1,099 RBI, and a .307 lifetime average. He is commonly cited as the best Yankee player to have never played in a World Series. In 1997 The Yankees retired his number, 23 and dedicated his plaque for Monument Park at the former Yankee Stadium. Currently serving as the Dodger’s Hitting Coach, industry buzz states Mattingly is anticipated to succeed Joe Torre as the LA Dodgers’ manager after 2010, when Torre is expected to retire.
