The New York Yankees are back in the World Series again. With American League pennant No. 40 under their belt, as well as the groanings of Red Sox and Angels fans alike as background noise.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported on Tuesday afternoon that Los Angeles Dodgers hitting coach Don Mattingly took part in a phone interview for the unoccupied Cleveland Indians’ managerial job.

Mattingly was said to have a phone conversation sometime last week with Indians’ general manager Mark Shapiro and assistant general manager Chris Antonetti.

"I've wanted to manage a long time and I've been moving in that direction," said Mattingly.
