Mariano Rivera a guest instructor at Yankee Spring Training
.
Above, 3/24/16, "Mariano Rivera observes bullpen sessions," Brendan Kuty, Star Ledger
3/24/16, "Mo is here, btw"...Brendan Kuty, Srat Ledger, Tampa, Fla.
3/25/16, "A retired Mariano Rivera still likes shagging baseballs," CBS Sports, R.J. Anderson
"Mariano Rivera's career-long fondness for shagging balls during batting practice was no secret -- after all, that's how he tore his ACL in 2013. But Rivera didn't let the injury affect his routine back then, and even now-as a 46-year-old guest instructor two whole seasons into retirement-he can't help but to indulge himself by chasing after BP flyballs.
Here's the video evidence, courtesy of Brendan Kuty of the Star-Ledger:
Laugh at Rivera's inability to complete the transaction if you'd like, but keep in mind that he could still strike you out. Besides, it's nice knowing that love -- or at least the special kind of love an all-time great shares with batting practice baseballs -- is eternal.
He hasn't aged a day. (USATSI)"

3/6/16, "Delta features at the Yankee Stadium," ftnnews.com, Ozgur Tore
"Delta changed the Yankee Stadium skyline this week with the official unveiling of its new signage, featuring the Delta widget and 14-foot-tall letters.
Delta’s prominent signage atop the scoreboard in right-center field is the first time a New York Yankees partner has been granted such significant exposure and is part of Delta’s recently announced eight-year extension of its sponsorship agreement with the team.
Customers, media, and a very special guest-former Yankee closer Mariano Rivera-were in attendance at the March 3 event.
Delta has been the team’s official carrier since 2008 and has flown the team nearly 300,000 miles during that time."
