My first Little League team was the Yankees and so they became my focus and nobody was bigger at the time than Don Mattingly. Ever since then I’ve been been a Mattingly fan. I got the chance to meet Mattingly and get him to sign a ball for me when he was managing in the Arizona Fall League.
When I saw this card was available as part of a small lot of Yankee autographs in a Facebook group, I jumped at it.
Great card! I've always liked those Sweet Spot signatures and I was a Mattingly fan back in the day, too.
ReplyDeleteI have disliked the Yankees for as long as I can remember... so I was never a Mattingly guy. That being said... I have a deep respect for the franchise's history... and that includes Mattingly. He was definitely one of the kings of the hobby when I was a kid. And that's one heck of an autograph you have of him.
