I saw this game last night and I had a few tears when I saw this, it was just one of those baseball moments you will never forget. Hopefully this video can bring some good memories for this season, instead of the bad ones we had with our jays.

Enjoy-

No wonder the Yankees didn't make the playoffs with this kind of veteran leadership

I can't remember a player in recent memory that has this sort of prolonged season-long send-off.

I'm not criticizing, but it's been quite the event(s).

Does 2012 count as recent?

If so, somewhere Chipper Jones is also crying now as he fades away...

Now that I'm sufficiently over my bitterness about this season I can be nice about Mo and thankfully this forum is pretty dead so this is still on the front page.

You know what I love most about his career? In a generation or so if you're at a game and end up sitting next to a young burgeoning fanatic and start talking Baseball, if you happen to discuss Rivera they'll never believe you. I wish I could think of specifics, but I know I had this experience in reverse, where someone told me about an older player's accomplishments and I thought they were full of it 'til I got home and got out an Almanac or found his card or something that proved it.

In the future, the pay off won't take so long, nor would it now, but I relish the moment I get to try explaining how the most dominant reliever in the history of the game threw a 90-93 mph cutter 99% of the time (granted sometimes it didn't cut and got counted as a fb). If ever there was a guy who seemingly perfected a single pitch, Mo has to be it.
