MLB News: Mariano Rivera Does Not Think World Series Counts With Short Season

In a time full of unknown, one Yankees’ legend has sparked a little bit of anger. Legendary closer Mariano Rivera spoke on ESPN’s The Michael Kay Show on Friday and spoke on the shortening of an MLB season. Mariano does not think that a World Series played in a very short season is worth calling yourself a champion.

I don’t think you can play a 60-game season and you call yourself a champion.

Strange coming from a guy who made a career out of short pitching appearances, but what do I know.
