โฆ Synopsis
After 19 seasons in the major leagues, all with a single teamโa feat few athletes in todayโs modern sport can matchโMariano Rivera closes out his career with the New York Yankees at the conclusion of the 2013 season. New Yorkโs much-loved closer retires as baseballโs all-time leader in saves, ERA, and appearances, and he holds the Yankeesโ single-season saves record as well. Few could have predicted when the Yankees brought Rivera up to the majors in 1995 that he would one day hold the record for most career games pitched with a single team. Rivera did much more than lead by example; he powered his team to five World Series championships: 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2009. Celebrate Moโs amazing career with this full-color pictorial keepsake packed with unique images and exemplary writing from New Yorkโs award-winning newspaper, the New York Post.
