Another retired player that I collect that is not in the Hall of Fame is Don Mattingly.  When Don began his MLB career, who didn't think he would end up being another Yankee in the Hall? His career exploded out of the gate winning a Batting Championship in his first year and a MVP Award in his second. No one has ever won more Gold Glove Awards in the AL at first base than Don's nine. He's ambidextrous and would throw with either arm when he started out. He's now the only member of the Yankees to have his number retired and not have won a World Championship with them. Injuries kept the former Yankee captain out of the Hall but I still collect him. I currently have 853 Beckett recognized cards of "Donnie Baseball" of which here are nine from my collection.
