A Great Article on Mariano Rivera

One of my favorite Yankees is Mariano Rivera, arguably the best closer of all-time.  The man has one "out" pitch (the "cutter"), everyone knows what it will be, and still, he saws off bats like no one else I have ever seen.

The guy has nerves of steel and from what everyone says, he is a good guy and a family man.  Better yet, he's a professing Christian (there are several on the Yankees--Phil Hughes and Andy Pettitte to name a couple of others).

In any case, there's a great article on "Mo" in the New York Times magazine.  The King of the Closers

He is the best closer of all time, and a class act!

A great closer granted but my Blue Jays ruined his save the other night!

Dear KIm:

You were born and raised in So. Cal., yet you root for the Yankees???? That is what I call a front runner, a band wagon fan. Root for the Dodgers please. Yes, the Dodgers will beat the Yanks in the next W.S.
