Mattingly has road named after him in hometown

LOS ANGELES -- Don Mattingly grew up in Evansville, Ind., playing Little League baseball at Bosse Field, where a stretch of road was recently named after the Dodgers manager.

The Evansville City Council voted Monday to rename a section of North Main Street, "Don Mattingly Way." A few blocks away stands a pizza shop owned by Mattingly's brother-in-law, Turoni's Pizza & Brewery.

"Awesome pizza," Mattingly said. "If you're ever in Evansville, stop by there. It's a family business. I used to have to clean it when I was a kid."

Mattingly is the most famous baseball player from Evansville, which sits along the Ohio River in southwestern Indiana.
