Episode 21: Don Mattingly

The New York Yankees are back in the World Series for the first time since 2009, and while Don Mattingly now bleeds Toronto Blue Jays blue, Donnie Baseball will always be a NYY legend.
It’s also a good segue into the fact he played 14 seasons for the storied franchise without winning a ring, as he watched an epic run for the franchise start right after he retired in the mid-1990s.
From 1982 to 1995, Mattingly was the face of, perhaps, the most storied franchise in pro sports, and there may not be a baseball player mentioned more from the 80s and 90s in pop culture.
From his famous appearance on The Simpsons to turning down Saturday Night Live on a couple of occasions to his brother playing in the CFL to what it was like playing for the boss George Steinbrenner, enjoy this conversation as the Yankees and LA Dodgers finish off the 2024 season on the sport’s biggest stage.
