Mariano Rivera was elected unanimously to the Baseball Hall of Fame, but it’s safe to say his former Yankees teammate Mike Mussina isn’t as universally loved.
On Wednesday’s episode of The Michael Kay Show on ESPN-New York radio, the host shared the reasons for his distaste for Mussina, who went 123-72 over eight seasons in The Bronx as part of his 18-year MLB career that culminated in being voted into Cooperstown on Tuesday.
Of course, it was personal.
“He had just pitched a great game at the Stadium,” Kay said, recalling an incident to guest Trey Wingo without giving any time frame.
