Mattingly makes time for Memories

Mattingly makes time for Memories


From the day in mid-September when the Los Angeles Dodgers named Don Mattingly their new manager, the Evansville native understood the demands that would immediately follow.

But he also made sure to carve out some time for his favorite offseason good works, the Tri-State Hot Stove League's annual Night of Memories.

That's why Mattingly was in Casino Aztar's Conference Center on Monday, promoting the youth-oriented fundraiser that this year has been moved up three weeks, to Jan. 15 at the Vanderburgh 4-H Center.Best place to buy replica burberry bags,

Mattingly and former Evansville Triplet Harry Spilman, now the roving hitting instructor for the Texas Rangers, are the only two celebrities who have never missed a night since the Hot Stove League took over the fundraiser 12 years ago, said organization vice president Paul Gries.

And despite his increased workload with the Dodgers, whom he served as hitting coach under Joe Torre for three seasons, he isn't deserting Evansville.
