Red Sox fans at Fenway Park rose to cheer Mariano Rivera as he trotted out from the bullpen to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning on Saturday.
For the 57th time against the Red Sox and the 35th time at Fenway, Rivera converted the save in a Yankee win.
"I don't want to be rude, but I didn't pay attention," Rivera said of the ovation. "It has always been hard ballgames here. I respect the organization. I respect the fans. That's why I give it back. I play the game the way it should be played."
