The six-time All Star is now in his final year on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. The 1984 American League batting champ (.343) and 1985 AL MVP finshed with an OPS+ of 127, 2,153 hits and 222 homers in 7,772 plate appearances.

Mattingly was a Hall of Fame caliber player, but prematurely declined after suffering a back injury. That injury and lack of durability in the second half of Mattingly’s career left him off the top 200 of all-time key hall of fame factors.
