    Interesting note about Mattingly. In 1995, he is prevented from getting to the World Series by losing in Game 5 of the Division Series in Seattle against a team with Dan Wilson and Edgar Martinez. In 2025, he gets to the World Series by beating the Mariners with Dan Wilson and Edgar Martinez as coaches and does it in Toronto where the Yankees clinched the only playoff berth of his playing career.

    Donnie also just had an anniversary of his consecutive HR streak and something to do with grand slams. I think he had the record for grand slams in a season but, oddly, never hit another grand slam in ANY season. igot would know the particulars.

    Wasn't it like 6 or 7?

    The only available managing job is Colorado. But it doesn't seem like managing is not his top priority
