While New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera threw his last pitch as a big-leaguer in 2013, his journey as a professional was far from over. Being named the first-ever player to be unanimously inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame was the first step in an extended career for the best closer of all time.
The Sandman returns:
Rivera in an interview with MLB Network Radio’s CJ Nitkowski on Thursday claimed that he would be “teaching pitching” with the Yankees to some degree this season. Lucky for Dellin Batances, Adam Ottavino, Zach Britton, and Aroldis Chapman.
