Don Aase Stats

Don Aase was born on Wednesday, September 8, 1954, in Orange, California. Aase was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on July 26, 1977, with the Boston Red Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Don Aase baseball stats page.

"It's rare that a prohibition on a matchup is strictly enforced by a manager, but it has happened. On September 15, 1986, Don Mattingly hit a game-winning home run off of Baltimore bullpen ace Don Aase. It was the second time Mattingly had done that to Aase in less than a year. To that point in his career, Mattingly was hitting about .750 against the reliever. After the game, Orioles manager Earl Weaver said that Aase would never pitch to Mattingly again, not even to intentionally walk him. Discretion, Shakespeare wrote, is the better part of valor." - Sportswriter Steven Goldman on YesNetwork.com (03/23/2004)
