Crime Dog was a great player and congrats! I have wondered why Mattingly hasn't made it!

Mattingly hasn't made it to the HOF because he doesn't have the stats. His "stats' are okay, but not good enough to get him in the HOF. Here are his main "stats": .307 batting avg. (his best "stat" for him), 2,153 hits (way too low amount), 222 home runs (a good amount of MLB players have had more and not in the HOF), and 1,099 RBI's (good, but not exclusive). A "GOOD" player, but not a "HOFer".
NOTE: If Don Mattingly was to be inducted into the HOF then John Wesley "Boog" Powell should also be put in. He "splits" some numbers with Mattingly ---- BA:Mattingly .307 Powell .266 --- HITS: Mattingly 2,153 Powell 1,776 --- HOME RUNS: Powell 339 Mattingly 222 --- RBI's: Powell 1,187 Mattingly 1,099 So, if Mattingly was to go in "Boog" should also.Last edited by OriolesFan; 12-05-2022 at 09:29 PM. Reason: adding "NOTE..."

Loved Boog and he loved playing my Yanks! As long as Bonds, Clemens and others don't get in, I am okay!

McGriff was my favorite player when I was a kid: not only did he play for a couple of those great Atlanta Braves teams, but I also enjoyed watching him on the Devil Rays (being Rockies fan there is always a fond place in my heart for smaller market teams and underdogs).
In the end though didn’t we all love watching that helicopter follow-thru?

Re: mattingly I recently read this “Over his career your average Hall of Fame batter collected 2,411 hits, 1,676 of those hits were singles, 412 were doubles, 111 were triples, and 211 were home runs. That's 3,678 total bases. Your average Hall of Famer has 1,329 runs scored, and 1,218 RBI.”
avg hof. 2411 hits, mattingly 2153 hits
avg hof. 211 home runs, mattingly 222 hr
avg hof. 412 doubles, mattingly 442 doubles
avg hof 3678 total bases, mattingly 3301 total bases
avg hof 1218 rbi, mattingly 1099 rbi
he also did all of this in only 14 seasons, in which he won 9 gold gloves.
Mattingly doesn’t get enough credit. He has a higher career WAR than Harold Baines who played 22 seasons!
And bill mazeroski who only has 8 gold gloves in 17 seasons.Yankees + Todd Greene collector. There are tens of thousands of Yankees I need. My grail card is a 2005 Topps Pristine Fielder's Choice Glove Relics #TG Todd Greene.

Mattingly also had more career doubles than Fred McGriff despite playing 695 less games than McGriff.

Still don't get how this guy is a HOF player. Would anybody honestly take him on your team over Mattingly, McGwire, Garvey, or Keith Hernandez? Not saying those guys should be in the HOF but a bit weird for him to be a unanimous selection after not coming close to it with the baseball writers for so long.
