NEW YORK (AP) — Back in the 1980s, when the New York Yankees were in a championship drought, there was one player most fans were inevitably drawn to. The season after he retired, the Yankees won their first World Series crown in 18 years — and plenty of fans from Mattingly's era still feel that's a shame. [] the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a job he landed after the Yankees passed, Mattingly was back in the Bronx for the team's first visit since clinching the 1981 World Series — a year before he made his major league debut. The teams never took the field Tuesday night and the game was postponed by rain about 30 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. In an interleague scheduling quirk, the Dodgers and Yankees — old October rivals — have never played each other in New York during the regular season. The 52-year-old Mattingly said losing out on the Yankees job turned out to be a blessing because it would have been difficult for him to be a first-time manager in the big leagues with all the personal issues he was dealing with at that stage in his life. A coach with the Yankees under Joe Torre, Mattingly headed out West with Torre and later replaced him as Dodgers manager. Mattingly, who grew up in Indiana, said the Dodgers and Yankees organizations feel similar to him because both are steeped in history. Wearing a gray and blue Los Angeles cap with a blue Dodgers windbreaker, Mattingly also said his time playing for the fiery Steinbrenner in New York probably helped prepare him for this difficult season, when there has been frequent speculation about Mattingly being fired.
