That\'s why Don Mattingly deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!


I\'m pretty sure Donnie Baseball was on steroids to enhance the growth/thickness of his mustache. Just look at the difference.

Think of the numbers he might have had if he didn\'t hurt his back falling over that bench in the locker room.  He may not have the statistical fortitude to get him into the HOF, but there is no guy more deserving of Donnie Baseball.

Well mabye Pete Rose :duck: no seriously

I was very happy to read this second post, because the first one almost had me going sports information director on you... baseball-reference.com was cued up and everything.

But yeah, Donnie Baseball = good dude. Bernie Williams = good dude. But Hall of Famers? Not a chance.

Hall of Fame 1st Basemen

Cap Anson - 27 Seasons, Avg. 339, 1712 runs, 3081 hits, 97 home runs

Jake Beckley - 19 Seasons, Avg. 309, 1601 runs, 2930 hits, 87 home runs

Jim Bottomley - 15 Seasons, Avg. 310, 1177 runs, 2313 hits, 219 home runs, 1 MVP, 1 WS

Dan Brouthers - 19 Seasons, Avg. 349, 1507 runs, 2349 hits, 106 home runs

Orlando Cepeda - 17 Seasons, Avg. 297, 1131 runs, 2351 hits, 379 home runs, 1 time MVP, 1 WS

Frank Chance - 16 Season, Avg. 297, 796runs, 1273 hits, 20 home runs

Roger Connor - 17 Seasons, Avg. 325, 1607 runs, 2535 hits, 138 home runs

Jimmie Fox - 19 Seasons, Avg. 325, 1751 runs, 2646 hits, 534 home runs, 2 MVP, 1 time Triple Crown winner

Lou Gehrig - 16 Seasons, Avg. 340, 1888 runs, 2721 hits, 493 home runs, 1 time Triple Crown, 6 WS

Hank Greenberg - 13 Seasons, Avg. 313, 1051 runs, 1628 hits, 331 home runs, 1 time MVP

Don Mattingly - 14 Seasons, Avg. 307, 1007 runs, 2153 hits, 222 home runs, 1 time MVP, 9 Gold Gloves . 2nd in history

When you compare Mattingly to the other first basemen that are in the hall, his numbers are on par with them except Cepeda, Fox, Gehrig and Greenberg.  I know that he\'ll never get in, but looking at his numbers compared to his peers, they don\'t look that bad.

it is. but i think the scrutiny that phelps got wasn\'t really deserved. this is the time of the year when sports are a little slow. with a 24 hour sports news cycle, it was really just bad timing...same thing with the torre book (oof...tough couple weeks for alex). a-rod is legitimately a much bigger story at the worst possible time. there\'s nothing else going on today. the entire 6 pm sportscenter was devoted to the story

honestly i though he handled it pretty well...he better not be lying now though

I never made a err in judgment when I was 26.

None of us has any idea what it is to be in the situation of any of those athletes. You try to be the best and see how difficult it is and maintain that.

Those who say they would never try or do steroids, say that when you livilyhood is on the line.

Its part of the game and life and it has been.

It is obvious that all sports league have known about this and failed to do anything about it.

Why we sit back and care like it is something new is senseless.

If I wanted to see feeble men try to play sports I would watch golf.

I can\'t wait to hear about Tiger Woods juicing up.

You\'re just defending it because you\'re on the same mustache steriods Mattingly took.
