Prayers For a Childhood Hero
Those of you who know me know that I am a big fan of Don Mattingly (I even named the family dog after him!). “Donnie Baseball” is one of the most beloved players in New Yankees history. He was one of my heroes for a variety of reasons. First, he was a hard worker who never complained. You wouldn’t see him in the media maligning anyone. He also exemplified a great male role model - great character. He had a faith that he didn’t beat you over the head with but wasn’t ashamed of either.
I’ve known that he and his wife have had marital problems and were likely heading towards a divorce. This latest news saddens me all the more. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Don.
