Mattingly Back in the Game | Fayetteville News

Don Mattingly’s baseball journey took a wild, full-circle turn when he returned to the dugout—this time as interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, leading them into playoff contention after a rocky start. Once thought done with the game after his World Series run, he traded a Dodgers coaching gig for a family moment: a Home Run Derby with his 11-year-old son. Now, with his other son as GM, Mattingly’s 23-year managerial/coaching streak continues, even without a ring. His Phillies? 45-24 and just two games behind Atlanta. He’s eyeing a permanent role, but holding off until after the season. And yes—he’s back in the All-Star Game, this time coaching against his former team, the Blue Jays. A story of family, grit, and the enduring love of the game. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
