Happy 4/20!! Born on this day #23 in your programs ‘The Hitman’ Don Mattingly. 1987 Topps were the first Baseball Cards I collected. When I got my first Beckett Price Guide some years later I can totally remember running out to my Dad’s workshop to tell him my ‘87 ‘Donnie Baseball’ was worth a whopping $2.25.
Lots more fun facts about Don in Issue 6 of Blaze! My favorite is that he hit 6 grand slams in 1987, and those were the only grand slams of his 14 year career.
