Hall of Fame Poll: Don Mattingly

Would you vote Don Mattingly into the Baseball Hall of Fame?

Donny Baseball is an interesting case, his career only lasted 14 seasons. At his peak he was great, maybe the best player in baseball for a few seasons, but back problems brought his stats down, so he doesn't have the counting starts that get you into the Hall.

He had 222 home runs, 1099 RBI and had a career slash line of .307/.358/.471. He was AL MVP in 1985, was named to 6 All-Star teams, had 9 Gold Glove and 3 Silver Slugger awards. Baseball Reference has him at a 39.8 career WAR.

This is his second last time on the ballot, unless, of course, he gets listed on less than 5% of the Writers' ballots. 13 times on the ballot, his 28.2% on his first try was his best number. He's been as low as 9.9%.

And, of course, he should have cut those sideburns.
