September is here so the 2015 regular season is coming to a close. In addition, September is when rosters expand, allowing players on the 40-man roster onto the major league roster.

Don Mattingly, 1982
In 1982, 21-year-old Don Mattingly made his major league debut, wearing #46 and coming in as a defensive replacement for Ken Griffey in the outfield.
