Today’s card of the day helps us celebrate the birthday of Donnie Baseball! Don Mattingly was born on this day in 1961.

Mattingly is a baseball card icon, that was one of the most. I’ll extend players in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. His collecting appeal has stayed high thanks to playing his entire career in Yankees pinstripes and staying active in baseball as a success coach, then manager.

His 1984 Topps #8 Rookie Card is an absolute beauty and is one of the cards Topps has chosen for it’s Topps Project 2020 initiative.
