Sunday night in Queens, it happened again. The Yankees were in a position to sweep the feeble Mets while gaining ground on the rival Red Sox. The eighth inning bullpen bridge wobbled, enter Sandman. Rivera puts out another fire while notching his 500TH save.
New York is a city of hyperbole. Somehow, Mariano Rivera gets taken for granted. Mo’s latest accomplishment got the presses rolling. Start spreading the news:
- “We’ve played together for 17 years,” Jeter said. “He’s the definition of consistency. You can line up all the players who ever played the game. Mo’s been as consistent as anyone…”–(NY Times)
- “The bullpen door swung open and Mariano Rivera ran into a frenzied situation, summoned for the type of challenging four-out save he has proven capable of handling so many times before.”–(MLB.com)
