During the 1980’s, when you thought of class on the baseball field, the first name that came to mind was Don Mattingly. His relentless assault on the pitching staffs of the American League earned him the nick name “The Hit Man” and his tireless work ethic and passion for the game, earned him moniker “Donnie Baseball”. He hit over .300 every year from 1984 through 1989, and was part of a juggernaut Yankee offense that piled up runs at record rates. Digging in against Andy Benes, and to the back drop of a serenade from the Yankee fans, The Hit Man drove this pitch deep into the right field bleachers to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead in a  1995 playoff game against Seattle. This homer turned out to be the last in the career of Donnie Baseball. Item measures 21.5'' x 16''
