NEW YORK, NY - Mariano Rivera followed his clean ninth inning against the D-backs with a difficult 10th that required him to escape a bases-loaded jam with no outs, but the legend came through, sealing a Yanks victory.
Alright, so Mo is the man. We already knew that. But getting a save with the bases juices in the 10th inning up one run last night was awesome. Huge win for the Bombers, not to mention he almost hit a single. Everyone says he’s the most athletic guy on the team and I don’t doubt it. He probably has a cross over like Iverson in his prime mixed with Jordan’s fade away. Not only that, the dude gives backpacks of supplies to kids in his hometown of Panama, all while building churches in the community. He’ll be closing for Jesus’ all Disciple team when it’s all said and done. I mean this guy’s incredible and not to mention the classiest guy in baseball. He is a true professional plain and simple.
Note: I saw a little girl in the stands holding up a sign that said “When I grow up I want to be a D-Backs player, or A-Rods agent.” Might just be the smartest little girl in America. But I’d go with the ladder, just ask Scott Boras. Plus who wants to play for the D-backs anyway?
