One of many debates in which baseball fans love to engage involves the Hall of Fame. Based mostly on subjective opinions and biases – heck, even objective measurements such as statistics are selected, weighed, and used subjectively by each of us – we all have players on our hypothetical ballots who we feel should be enshrined in Cooperstown who are not.
As there’s an overwhelming likelihood that if you’re reading this, you’re a Yankee fan, you probably have a former Yankee in mind who you feel was a Hall of Famer, who is not currently enshrined. Having recently been on the Modern Era Hall of Fame ballot, Don Mattingly’s name has come up relatively often.
