Mariano Rivera- it's awesome to be able to say that you've seen the best player at his position in the history of a sport. And it's even better that he's a good person. Quiet, humble and a pure team player, Mariano Rivera is the best relief pitcher of all time. He's blown a couple of big ones in his career (Cleveland 97, Arizona 2001), but his legacy of clutch pitching far outweighs any blips. 602 saves in the regular season; and even more important, 42 saves in the post-season.
As a Yankees fan, I am relieved (no pun intended) that he's been on my team! Long may you save games, Sandman!
