By: Chad Raines As many of you know, the Hall of Fame inductees were announced today. And after not being inducted once again in his last appearance on the ballot, I simply do not get why this particular player is not in the Hall of Fame. Let me throw a couple of facts at you, the reader, right now. This Yankee great was a nine time Gold Glover, a six time All-Star, a three time Silver Slugger award winner, an AL batting champion, an MVP award winner, a career . 307 hitter, and a former Yankee captain. As you have probably guessed from the title, this player is Donnie Baseball, Don Mattingly. Considering these accolades, it begs the question: Why on earth isn’t he in the baseball Hall of Fame?
