I've been on the lookout for this version of Mattingly since the beginning, but they've been hard to find. I've had the silver version, but really wanted to upgrade. I saw this Sunday, and I'm quite certain I overpaid, but have no regrets. He was the first player I remember following coming up as a rookie and watching become a star. I grew up in Massachusetts, but it was the combo of Mattingly and Phil Rizzuto announcing that were really responsible for me being a Yankee fan. To have both on my team is pretty cool to me.
I'm probably biased, but do think he is a little underrated on defense. I still do want to get your version of Rod Carew too, not sure how to fit them both, but just having them is worth it. I remember collecting baseball cards and my uncle giving me a rookie Rod Carew card. I was so excited, although upon getting it although I learned my uncle drew a mustache on Rod Carew. I like those pure-hitter types though.

I can definitely without a doubt say you aren't in over your head, you definitely belong at the top level.

I feel like I have a couple holes before I'm ready to compete at the top level. But everytime I go on a run I'm tempted to make a big purchase.
