Admittedly, Herbie was good; Mattingly was better.

In almost an identical number of career games at first base, Mattingly beats Hrbek in every fielding category.

Bill James rates Mattingly 12th best all-time (ahead of 9 Hall of Famers); Herbie is 40th (ahead of 2 HOFers).

I'm a Yankee/Mattingly fan. He's not getting in either.
