"Mariano Rivera was given a standing ovation as he left a packed room on crutches at Siro’s on Monday, following knee surgery. Rivera is a co-owner of the new Second Avenue restaurant, where he told diners, “This is the first time I’ve been home for Father’s Day in 20 years.” He added, “My recovery is going well, and I’m going to be back on the field as soon as possible.” He dined with his wife, Clara, and sons Mariano Jr., Jafet and Jaziel. Rivera earlier said last week’s surgery on his injured right knee “went perfectly.”" photo Reuters
