Shows you how relievers, even closers, even the GREATEST closer ever are valued by Baseball .

Raining Blood would be an awesome entrance theme…that slow-burn buildup to the double-kick frenzy as the pitcher runs out. Too cool!

Mariano is a great guy and an amazing athlete. His talent is astounding.

I’m sure it made the opposing teams feel great to be taunted on their way off the field. C’est la vie.

I get to channel my grandfather and sit my son down and tell him to pay attention, this man is the greatest there ever was. And we sit together in silence and watch. Congrats, Mo, today I feel proud not only to be a Yankees fan, but a baseball fan, and to know that there are still guys who carry themselves with class and pride, and do the job that is asked of them.

An evident truth doesn’t really need examining or we take Schrödinger at his word and really see if that dang cat survives or not. Prediction; Hoffman will be eclipsed by Rivera & Ruth will never be eclipsed by Bonds.

Because as a left-handed hitter, I wiped him out. That’s it. And in the baseball world, Babe Ruth’s everything, right? I got his slugging percentage and I’ll take his home runs and that’s it. Don’t talk about him no more.”
