No Dodgers in the Series? Bummer!

After a 14-year career at first base with the New York Yankees, Don Mattingly came out of retirement to become the Yanks' hitting coach at the request of Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner in 2004, but according to New York Times' writer Tyler Kepner's October 24, 2007 article entitled, "Mattingly...
