AnonymousMattingly was a great fielder -- but during some of his career there was one better fielding 1B -- in New York no less -- Jerry Seinfeld's pal Keith Hernandez!
Sooner or later Mattingly gets in -- which is fine there are worse players in and there are worse players who will get it. He will be the first great Yankee since Jack Chesbro (technically a "Highlander") who never won World Series with them.
Hodges wasn't that good (but as above there are worse in Cooperstown) but I have faith in that eventually he'll get in too... Joe Torre was a better player and is a better manager. Will Clark probably won't get in and I think he was better than Hodges too !
