Mariano Rivera most important to Yankee success, '96-'01--Buster Olney
"I always will believe that during the 1996-2001 dynasty, Mariano Rivera was the only uniformed member of the organization more important to the Yankees' success than Torre. They could not have won so much without him, and it remains to be seen if any Yankee manager can ever be as successful or as adept as Joe Torre."
- Quote from Buster Olney noted on FireJoeMorgan.com, 10/19/07, "Torre>Jeter" From Olney article on ESPN.com, 10/18/07"Don't Underestimate Torre's Impact on Yankees."
