Mattingly only won the MVP in 1985. So I would date it to 1986.
Looks like there are a couple different variations.

Add: That said, Mattingly was popular for years, so even if this tag debuted in Spring 1986 for baseball season little leagues, it probably was sold for 5 years, which is probably why they changed labels. My guess is that some legislation which required manufacturing location (South Korea) would help date that variation.
