One of the biggest travesties in Major League Baseball this year was the fact that the Modern Baseball Era Committee did not elect former New York Yankees star and current Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly to the Hall of Fame.
As a fan growing up in the 1980s, I don’t think there were two players they were more iconic in my eyes than Donnie Baseball and Dale Murphy. Once again, both were snubbed for there contributions in the diamond.
As fans look at the current roster here in Miami, it’s hard to come up with a player whose resume would be fitting of an invitation to the hallowed hall.
