It was a splendid moment, seeing those two ’80s icons embrace on the field in Flushing.
that hit me more than anything else — and all but certainly hit anyone of my generation, which is to say, those who came to love and embrace New York baseball in the 1980s. And in an instant, we were transported. In an instant it was 1984, or 1986, or any of the 6 ½ years, from 1983-89, when Mattingly and Hernandez shared the city, playing the same position and playing it with such an astonishing level of grace.
Many of us had grown up with our fathers and our uncles recalling the remarkable days of the early 1950s, when the arguments would last long into the New York night about whom the best center fielder was.
There does seem to be actual momentum growing for both of them to go into the Hall, and there will be a veterans committee gathering in a few months that will consider both of them. Wouldn’t it be something if, somehow, that committee rectified this wrong and managed to open the doors to both of them?
