Mattingly Denies Accusations of Leagueism

Baseball great Don Mattingly angrily denied charges of leagueism from his ostrich farm yesterday. Former team mate Dave Righetti claims in his new book, the LA Times best-seller "I played Baseball", that Mattingly openly and unabashedly preferred the American League to the National League during his years as a Yankee, and would often refer to the members of the National League as "those people". Mattingly claims to have several friends from the National League, but when asked to identify them, he went berserk, screaming "I don't have to name any of them stupid national league bastard thugs"
