But then I go home and my 11-year-old asked me, \u2018Do we get to go on the field for Home Run Derby?\u2019 It\u2019s like, OK, well, I\u2019m done with that. He made that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mattingly is taking directions from a pair of his sons in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Mattingly originally took the job in Philadelphia to serve as former manager Rob Thomson\u2019s bench coach at the urging of his young son, Louis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was kind of like, \u2018Dad, you can\u2019t stop. You\u2019ve got to keep going,\u201d\u2019 Mattingly said in January. <\/p>\n<p>Mattingly kept going and joined a Phillies organization where another son, Preston, is the general manager.<\/p>\n<p>Mattingly said in November he left his role in Toronto after reaching his first World Series because of a desire to spend more time with his family. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=5894\">North Carolina communities weigh benefits, concerns of data center growth<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one big family reunion in Philly.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Jays All-Star second baseman Ernie Clement said Mattingly was missed in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s awesome that he teamed up with Preston,\u201d Clement said. \u201cThey\u2019re just doing a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mattingly is 45-24 with the Phillies since he took over when Thomson was fired in late April after they had lost 11 of 12 games and were tied for last in the majors. Led by All-Stars Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, Jhoan Duran, Jes\u00fas Luzardo and NL starting pitcher Cristopher S\u00e1nchez, the Phillies are just two games back of Atlanta in the NL East.<\/p>\n<p>Mattingly has said he would be interested in having the interim tag removed and possibly returning for a second season as manager. He said Monday he wanted to table that discussion until the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Mattingly is in his 23rd straight season as a major league manager and coach, having managed the Dodgers and the Miami Marlins.<\/p>\n<p>Mattingly played 14 seasons as a first baseman in the major leagues, all for the Yankees, from 1982-95. The 1985 AL MVP, he captained the Yankees in his final five seasons. He never reached the playoffs until 1995, when he hit .417 with a homer and six RBIs in the five-game Division Series loss to Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>The 65-year-old Mattingly said he feels \u201cas grateful as can be\u201d for his career, even if it ends without a World Series ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been in this game for a long time,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cI\u2019ve done a lot of tremendous things for my family.
