'Donnie Baseball' Says He's Ready To Manage Yankees
Oct 17, 2014 10:31 AM
Don Mattingly has been making managerial moves with the Yankees for several seasons, in his head.
"I've heard that experience thing come up a lot," he said, "but in my own mind I've been managing for the last four years, and to be honest with you, as a player you're playing along the whole time."
After four seasons as a coach, Mattingly was interviewed Tuesday to replace departed manager Joe Torre. Yankees broadcaster Joe Girardi interviewed a day earlier, and first base coach Tony Pena is due to speak with team officials Wednesday.
