Either Of These Guys Look Familiar?
(c) Jon SooHoo, Los Angeles Dodgers
The first time I interviewed the gentleman at the right, he was a week shy of his 22nd birthday, and I was just past my 24th. We each had bad mustaches and dark hair. Several things have occurred since.
- The Dodger uniform does still look a little strange on Don Mattingly, but it’s the same smile and the same generosity of time. Trivia about our 1983 interview for CNN: it was on Opening Day, and I chose him because it was his first. My other interviewee was the late Bobby Murcer, because it was his sixteenth.
- Also, at that point, Mr. Mattingly wore uniform number 46, and had already experienced the first of eleven managerial firings that marked his career of thirteen years (plus seven games in 1982). By contrast, Mattingly became a coach in 2004 and spent seven years doing it – all under one manager.

He does look a little strange in that dodger uniform but is overall is looking sharp. Great photo Keith and wish Mattingly the best.
You two both look wonderful! ..you almost look as if you could be related by your smiles! š
Dude, a picture of you here and a picture of you on your twitter, with a cane no less! OMG, how awesome is that? First, is he a great fan of yours or Countdown’s? Second, how many other famous awesome friends do you have, illustrating to us rabble that you are famous and awesome?
Maybe Donnie Baseball should grow back his mustache. You, Keith, not so much.
Keith, I’ve yet to see you take a bad picture. The camera absolutely loves you, whether you’re casual or dressed to the nines. š
Gawd, it’s just so weird seeing Donnie Baseball in that uniform. Seems like an unnatural act of some sort … But as much as I like the Pinstripes and dislike the Dodgers — and wish he were managing the Yanks, no slag on Girardi — I wish him well. He waited so long for this chance …
As someone that gets every Dodger game, I love this photo of Don. And since it includes you, it makes it even better. I wish there was a before photo of the ‘old days’ included, but you describe the changes quite well Keith.
Then I remember what is going on w/the Dodgers behind the scenes and it makes me sad. Don and the Dodgers do not deserve the crap that is swirling around them. One of the most storied franchises (next to your Yanks of course) in baseball and the owner can’t make payroll either eom this month or June’s according to MLB.
It’s heartbreaking for me, and I am a friggin Padre fan.
Good lookin’ just got gooder! He is Patrick Swayze and you are Clark Kent! Whee! Go Yanks! Go Dodgers! As Gandhi says, there is room for us all!
His sideburns are too long.
RDRR. D’oh– wrong episode. I mean, ROFL.
Great to see you Keith! Miss your show on MSNBC. But glad to see your still one of the greatest baseball fans in history. Go Giants!
Keith this Dodgers fan appreciates you giving Mattingly something to smile about!
“Either of these guys”– but where’s Ethier? Sorry, when I read “Either” I thought of “Ethier.” So are you in Pittsburgh Keith? Hopefully tomorrow there’s a photo of you and Andrew McCutchen– he’s awesome.
I think the Dodgers should move back to New York so they can get players and managers before they wash out their careers. Maybe a trade for the Mets?
Ah, Keith Olbermann and Don Mattingly – two of my favorites. And now I’m also missing Bobby Murcer, thanks. š
As much as I would like to gloat over the misfortunes of the hated Dodger’s management, I must lend a sympathetic shoulder for Donnie Baseball. I will root every Giant win, and celebrate ever Dodger loss, but let us just bring back the O’Malley family.
aloha,

As a lifelong Giants fan, I like DM even though he’s wearing those horrid colors.
Great photos of you here and the one for your blog with Jim Thome. Missing Countdown more than I thought I would, even though I knew that I would miss it mightily. I hope I can get CurrentTV by the time you’re up and running there. I don’t want to miss a single show. Are there plans for a corresponding podcast? Take care, be well and thank you for everything!
Keith, check out alittlechinmusic.com. It’s right up your alley.

Mustaches!! Big up for having worn a mustache in the past. Too bad he doesn’t now (:
Keith Olberman is an out-of-work stupid moronic asshole, with the intellect of a piece of dog shit.
You’ll censor this, if you agree that it’s true.
What’s your problem with Keith Olberman, man? Don’t like his writing, don’t visit the blog, it’s THAT simple.
Yeah, that’s the comment that the lazy kid in class in middle school made under his breath when, after copying test answers over the shoulder of the smart kid (whom he probably bullied), he still failed the test, while the smart kid passed.
He looks well.book reports
Great photo!
