svendeezy said...: i stumbled on this great quote...

"It's rare that a prohibition on a matchup is strictly enforced by a manager, but it has happened. On September 15, 1986, Don Mattingly hit a game-winning home run off of Baltimore bullpen ace Don Aase. It was the second time Mattingly had done that to Aase in less than a year. To that point in his career, Mattingly was hitting about .750 against the reliever. After the game, Orioles manager Earl Weaver said that Aase would never pitch to Mattingly again, not even to intentionally walk him. Discretion, Shakespeare wrote, is the better part of valor."

Don Aase joined a pretty solid pitching staff that year with Mike Boddicker, Storm Davis, Mike Flanagan, the martinez duo...Dennis and Tippy and deezy fav Scott McGregor. Besides Cal, anyone know what their lineup looked like that year? f the thug hoops lets talk baseball up in here...; 5:27 PM
