Don Mattingly, 1B
New York Yankees (1982-1994), Montreal Expos (1995)

"Donnie Baseball" spent 14 seasons in the big leagues, 13 of which were in the bright lights of Yankee Stadium in New York, before a fractured knee forced him into retirement at age 34. In 1,764 games, Mattingly hit .309 with 2,134 hits, 221 home runs and 3,269 RBI. He won the MVP in 1985, made the All Star team six times and was honored with nine Gold Glove awards over his career.

Mattingly had been traded to the Expos by the Yankees for closer Jeff Shaw during Spring Training in 1995 and battled a couple of minor injuries (strained thigh muscle, back spasms, bruised wrist) before the knee injury on September 25 ended his career.
Mattingly was hitting .307 with six homers, 33 RBI and 53 runs in 107 games at the time of the injury.
