Don Mattingly the rare former Dodgers manager to face his old team

With the Miami Marlins in town for four games starting Monday night, in Don Mattingly we have the quite rare instance of a former Dodgers manager returning to face them after leaving.

Mattingly and the Marlins are off to a slow start, just 6-11 in his first year in Miami. Mattingly averaged 89 wins per season in his five years managing the Dodgers, and is the only manager in franchise history to reach the postseason in three consecutive years.

He is also just the sixth Dodgers manager in the last 100 years to face the team after leaving.
