are you kidding me? you're comparing apples and strawberries (sorry, I know, bad pun, but...) Darryl was a coke-head with no regard for the game. Mattingly exemplified everything that a ballplayer should be: classy, hard-working, and dedicated to the game and his teammates. True, the last few years of his career were hampered by a bad back, but even with a bad back, he was a feared hitter at the plate. He could put the ball in play anywhere he wanted, not necessarily with the power of his younger years, but enough to move his team along and help them to win games. On top of that, he didn't use steroids unlike some players we all know and, for some reason, have grown to love.
Mattingly had some good stats in the 80s, but over his career he was merely above average, ie not Cooperstown material.
