Mariano Rivera Highlights

• "In discussing Mariano Rivera’s quiet type of team leadership with the Yankees,

another legendary baseball closer,

• Dennis Eckersley, puts it this way: “There is such security to knowing that he’s there… which in turn says

• this guy is the most valuable player of the era and of his team…

what Mariano has done makes him

• as valuable as any player
  
• 
  
• who has ever played.”"
