In early September Yankees closer Mariano Rivera became only the second man to close 600 games. September 19 was a far greater day which will be recorded in the records books as Mo broke Trevor Hoffman's record of 601 saves with #602 of Mo's career. It is commonly considered that he is the greatest relief pitcher and closer of all-time, this just solidifies it and makes Rivera's legacy that much greater. He has for fifteen years baffled opposing players with one pitch - the cutter. And to add to his lore, he is the only player left wearing #42, the same number as the great Jackie Robinson.
Congratulations to Mariano Rivera on this record and milestone...
