Mariano Rivera, "universally acclaimed baseball's greatest closer of all time--" Kevin Kennedy, FoxSports
"By the way, several years ago MLB announced that Jackie Robinson's number 42 would be permanently retired. No future player will ever again wear it. The players who were wearing it at the time could keep it until they retired.
Now there is just one man remaining with number 42 and he will be the last.
Now there is just one man remaining with number 42 and he will be the last.
- Fittingly, it's Mariano Rivera of the Yankees, who is universally acclaimed as baseball's greatest closer of all time, and a player ticketed for the Hall of Fame. So the last man to ever wear number 42 is certainly more than worthy of it."
