Yankees fans have a lot to celebrate with the selection of former Yanks Mariano Rivera and Mike Mussina to the HOF. The pair were joined by greats Roy Halladay and Edgar Martinez for inclusion in this year’s outstanding class.
In particular, for the very first time, The Sandman earned an astonishing and well deserved first-time unanimous vote into the HOF. As nearly everyone would agree, he is the best relief pitcher of all time, hands down.
The cool, calm, and unflappable Panamanian set the record for saves with 652, and prevented runs more effectively in MLB than anyone else.
