One of the most popular players in New York Yankees history, Don Mattingly spent 14 seasons playing first base from 1982-1995. During his time in the Bronx, Mattingly was six times named an All-Star, won nine Gold Gloves and three Silver Slugger Awards. In 1984, Mattingly led the American League in batting and, in 1985, he led the league in RBI in route to being named AL MVP.
He served as captain of the Yankees from 1991-1996, becoming at the time just the 14thplayer to be so honored and joining such other Yankees as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Thurman Munson, Graig Nettles, Willie Randolph and Ron Guidry. The Yankees retired his jersey #23 in 1997, which made Mattingly the only Yankees player to be so recognized without winning a World Series in pinstripes. He was also honored with a plaque in Monument Park.
Born on April 20, 1961 in Evansville, Indiana, Mattingly was picked by New York in the 1979 MLB Draft (19th round). He made his debut in the majors on September 8, 1982. After retiring, Mattingly embarked on a successful coaching career, first working as a coach for the Yankees (2004-2007) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2008-2010) before serving as manager of the Dodgers (2011-2015) and Miami Marlins starting in 2016. In 2020, Mattingly was named National League Manager of the Year after managing the Marlins to their first berth in the playoffs since 2003. He is a member of the South Atlantic League Hall of Fame, Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame and New York-Penn League Hall of Fame.
