"Donnie Baseball" was some hitter wasn't he. Too bad his back kept bothering him and eventually cut his career short. I read that the reason for him not being considered for the Hall of Fame is due to his short career and six quality years. Didn't somebody name Koufax have a short career and a small group of quality seasons as well?
Yeah, he was the one thing to root for/idolize in the 80's as a Yankee fan. I just loved the way he played the game, and I would love to see him in the Hall. I've kind of resigned to the fact that I won't over happen though, but it was a shame his back did him in.
