Quick story
I get called up in 1988, face Guidry and the Yankees, always a HUGE Mattingly fan.
He went 2-2 with what ended up being about 2345 feet worth of home runs off me.
I always just assumed he was a HOF'er, never thought to look at his numbers because I remember him as a sheer force, just didn't realize it got cut that short.
