    Mel, you are sharp as a whippet. You are correct. In 1998 Sir Bernie won the title with .339 BA.
    How could I forget this achievement. He is one of my favorite Yankee players...the consummate
    player & teammate.

    Don't forget to add Mattingly's .343 1984 Season and Batting Title/Crown; with Winfield right behind him. 41 yrs after Mantle's Batting Title.

    His .353 in 1986, was 2nd in the AL, .006 behind Boggs, but 2nd doesn't count.

    Mattingly should be in the hall of fame period.

    damned, my math is horribly pathetic this morning. 41 yrs, s/b 31 yrs.

    I find it interesting, with Koufax having 5 great years and 1 good one, and Mattingly having 4 great yrs and 1 good one offensively, yet his D never waned. Why not the same criteria for Donnie BB.

    Tho'- I know a few great years isn't enough for Cooperstown. Uncanny thing to look at Kirby Puckett's lifetime numbers, which are so similar to #23s, guess the accolades of a W.S. ice a cake, that needs none and are a factor for Cooperstown, which shouldn't be!

    Noy the bigest Joel Sherman fan in the world and after discussiing who he'd ply in tonights game and the reasons fo doing so made sense. Unfortunetly Boner will play all the big money wiffles, waffles and woffiies making sure that none of the prima donnas get thier feengs hurt.

    The only chance yanks have is if Cole pitches to his salary and the big hitters come through. If depending on Boone to make decisions the yanks are dead

    You hit the nail on the head. BaBoone, I’ve always felt, is over his head in the decision-making department and
    to have a team loaded with Prima donnas in most cases will not perform at top capacity...(keep Sanchez in mind).
