When you’ve allowed less runs in the postseason (11) than people who have walked on the moon (12), you’re probably one of the best athletes to ever play the game of baseball. New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera dropped the mic on Tuesday when he officially became the first player in MLB history to record 100% of the Hall of Fame inductee votes.
The Sandman:
Rivera finished his career as a professional with an astounding 652 saves, earning the accolade for the most saves of all-time. He appeared in the All-Star game 13 times in 19 seasons to name himself the best closer the game has ever seen, and it’s not even close.
