Rivera Hits 30 Saves For 15th Season 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Jul 13, 2013 10:01 pm

Mariano Rivera has the most 30-save seasons in baseball history with 15 after recording the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the Twins.


"Don't get me wrong, don't believe that I don't appreciate it -- I do appreciate that. At the same time, I'm a team player," Rivera said.


"Those things -- I hate to talk about myself and those stats. The most important thing is we won. Thirty saves, 20 saves, 50 saves, whatever it is, as long as we win, it don't matter. Winning is the only thing, and that's what we are here for."


Rivera, baseball's all-times save leader with 638, recorded his first 30-save campaign in 1997.
