Frank Walks Episode 7: Don Mattingly presented by BodyArmor
Спорт
For walk 7, I had a chance to walk around Central Park with Don Mattingly. For a generation, Mattingly was the face of the New York Yankees. Playing from 1982-1995, some of the franchise's leanest years, Don Mattingly was the lone stalwart. Don Mattingly served as Yankees captain and was the best player in baseball for a four-year stretch, 1984-1987. He won the American League MVP in 1985 and a batting crown in 1984. A six-time All-Star, Matting won three silver sluggers and nine gold gloves before a back injury curtailed the end of his career. Despite this, many feel that Don Mattingly should be in the Hall of Fame, and momentum for that seems to be growing through the veteran's committee. Since retirement, Mattingly has served as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Miami Marlins. He currently is the bench coach for the Toronto Blue Jays.

7:19 We almost had to put Frank on IR. Tank is very nimble and agile. Walks are paying off! God bless the Tank.
Donny Baseball knew to tread lightly when asking Frank about Vogelbach 😂😂

Frank knows ball on a different level
Don Mattingly is a LEGEND. This is so cool. I hope Frank is right about him making it into the HOF, he belongs there.

Best episode yet. Donnie Baseball is Da Man. 👏👏👏
Doesn’t get better than this. Two goats in one walk. Keep it up Frank.
That is a Yankee living legend that you are walking with right there! It occured to me while watching this that I never really saw Donnie Baseball do an in depth interview ( even though it was mostly Met talk!) before so kudos on getting him Frank! a little upset you didn't know he won "9"!!!! gold gloves as a first baseman though! WAR be damned, Donnie was the best player in the game for nearly 5 years. He is a Hall of Famer!
The best one yet!
Awesome job Frank, Don is a great guy!
Love Don Mattingly! Great work Frank!
This is damn cool. From subway meltdown to Donnie Baseball
I think by the end of the walk Mattingly really appreciated Frank’s historic knowledge on the game. We want Volgy!!
Don seems like a good guy. Really nice episode.
What a great episode. I wish more players in todays game were like Donnie Baseball.
Great episode. Thanks Coach.
awesome awesome awesome, frank and any ball player I'm here!!!
Great episode!! Have to get Marino on to Frank!!
Love this.love donnie boy
This is awesome
Donnie Baseball. A generation of NYY fans can relate to this walk. Excellent content.
I love the city in the background.
Growing up in the 80s in The Bronx Mattingly was my idol
Don is the definition of Class
Awesome interview 👍
Frank almost went down!!
Loved Mattingly! If he didn't hurt his back, he would've been a first ballot Hall of Famer! He's also a great guy. Great interview !
I have hated the Yankees with every fiber of my being my entire life, and Donnie is the only one I've ever rooted for in every uniform or clubhouse, if you love baseball you love Don Mattingly
I became a switch hitter in high school due to him. I wanted to bat like him so bad. Awesome ball player
I just learned about Frank. Mattingly is my all time favorite. You get this much time with him, and talked most of the time. Frank, ask questions, and let the guest talk. Otherwise, great job!
Let's go Frank
What Donnie Baseball had to say about forgiveness is really profound.
Donnie Baseball is my all time favorite player. Didn’t know it was possible I could like him more. But it was.
Donnie Baseball!!
Bill Buckner has nearly *600* more lifetime hits than Mattingly, 50+ more doubles over the span of his career and stole 183 bases vs. 14 swipes for "Donnie Baseball". The former LA Dodger, Chicago Cub, and Boston Red Sox player won the National League batting title in 1980. Granted, Buckner stuck around considerably longer _(He's one of a relative few to don a major-league uniform in four separate decades hence the unlikely distinction "4 Decade Player")_ than good ol' Don in order to rack up those fairly impressive numbers, however, it must be noted that most of Buckner's production was accomplished _post_ horrendous ankle injury. Buckner's ability to adapt while continuing to maintain a caliber of play deemed MLB worthy is admirable if not remarkable. Mattingly, of course, eclipses Buckner in overall Batting Ave. (by 18 points) as well as in OBP and SLG. They each had *7* *.300+* seasons at the plate with Buckner failing to notch an 8th - coming up just one percentage point short(.299 BA) in 1985 - a season in which he reached base on a hit over 200 times, accumulating 46 doubles and driving in 110 runs in the process. He added 18 steals that year to round out the picture. Again, it's the age-old dilemma : spectacular over the short term / potential left unfulfilled vs. longevity, durability and production over the long haul / ultimately surpassing expectations given a particular set of circumstances
Legend
My favorite player. Donnie Baseball #23 ❤
Two legends!!!
frank not sure if you read your comments but personally i love the videos if only you stop doing the 2-3min acoustic rant in beginning talking about the other guests youve had, few times ago you were like ranting about " oh that was a good one yeah i liked that one." when you had legit only had those people... even this one you couldnt resist the rant AND the sly putting people down negative energy seeped thro this one; you are inspiring and great at what you do frank but lock in and focus on being a positive force rather than constantly pegging people below each other and i think this show will have higher upside

Frank you are better than Barbara Walters!! You know your guests better than they do. I loved this interview… Perfect 👍
Frank and Trevor May def needs to happen, would be one of the more interesting episodes in my opinion.
Frank! optimism helps more than being angry! The Mets have a good team, and improved farm system and a great, and I mean great front office.
I wouldn’t mind if Frank Walks was exclusively baseball people
Frank getting recognized over Donny Baseball in New York City just about says it all. Keep pushing TANK!!!!
It’s crazy! People yelling out to Frank & not one person shouts out Donnie Baseball!! I’m a Mets fan & I can’t believe it!?!? Wtf?

fun fact the part of central park they walk through is maintained and landscaped by billy squier
Great episode. As a lifelong Yankee fan..he really didn’t say Nick Johnson did he?
22:20 @johnnyhamcheck we got some Balboni talk here. Sounds like old Bye Bye Balboni swung a six and a half foot bat
Thought that was Dan Patrick in the thumbnail there for a sec
Too bad Tank doesn't do one at every ball park, hockey arena etc
Nice you see you repping the Jays Frank!!!
It’s a crime that Donnie Baseball isn’t in the Hall.

Is it _'a crime that[Bill Buckner]isn't in the Hall'_ ? Most would consider the mere suggestion of enshrinement for Buckner ridiculous _yet_ he has nearly *600* more lifetime hits than Mattingly, 50+ more doubles over the span of his career and stole 183 bases vs. 14 swipes for "Donnie Baseball". The former LA Dodger, Chicago Cub, and Boston Red Sox player won the National League batting title in 1980.

I grew up a Jays fan, but there wasn't a player better than him that whole decade. He totally ruled! He should have been MVP twice. It's just stupid he isn't in the hall of fame.
Love that Frank always complains about the Mets breaking his heart. Did he ever think maybe the Mets are tired of his shit talking and him as a fan? These walks are supposed to be about the personality and yet Frank makes it about himself.
How on god’s green earth did no one interrupt you two in NYC for an autograph?
Frank watch out for the water puddle. Frank watch out for that step. Don is Frank's Daddy
Franks content is XXXXL carrying barstool these days outside of Caleb

So.. Bill Buckner has nearly 600 more lifetime hits than Mattingly, 50+ more doubles over the span of his career and stole 183 bases vs. 14 swipes for "Donnie Baseball". The former LA Dodger, Chicago Cub, and Bosox player won the 1980 National League batting title. Now, granted Buckner stuck around considerably longer than good ol' Don in order to rack up those fairly impressive numbers, however, it must be noted that most of Buckner's production was accomplished _post_ horrendous ankle injury.

Fred Lynn has better MVP credentials than Mattingly.
LOL at 7:25! We almost lost Frank. Donny baseball could care less.
Noticed Mattingly didn't mention Acuna amongst his top players. Still a bitter old man.
Donny baseball needs to be in the boogie down. Not Toronto!!!
love frank but holy cow SHUT UP and stop interrupting your guests. especially on topics they live thru and is their career
Tank just took things to the next level
Harold Baines got into the Hall of Fame because he's black, make no mistake. Literally dozens of white ball players with better numbers than Baines that are not and never will be in the Hall of Fame. Don mattingly is one of those.
God bless you Frank. Keep it up
