Re: My Day With My Baseball Hero, Don Mattingly
Can I beat that, yeah I think I can. My son is 7 and belongs to the Encino Little League which is one of the better little leagues in Southern California. He is on an AAA team. I coach and we had a coach's meeting this Sunday with Reggie Smith who is the offical coach for the League. Reggie was in the majors for 17 years and was a 7 time All-Star and is one the greatest switch-hitters of all time.
For 2 hours he taught us old farts how to throw, hit and field properly. But the best, the very best part of this is that on March 9th he will spend 2 hours with our team, the A's, teaching our AAA team the basics. In other words, he will spend time with my son teaching him how to hit, throw and field.
Gentlemen, it doesn't get any better than that.

Re: My Day With My Baseball Hero, Don Mattingly
Mike, congrats my friend! Wow! Thanks for sharing your story!
I hope one day to meet Arod. This way, I can ask him if he used steriods, and we can end all the questions whether he did or didn't (lol).
Seriously, I hope one day I'm as lucky. I did however meet Harmon Killebrew. Not my hero, but it was still pretty cool.
