Mariano Rivera Reaches Milestone [HUMOR]

On ESPN's Sunday night baseball, Mariano Rivera proved why he is a legend. Rivera was called upon at a crucial juncture of the game, and he delivered, like he has done only once in his career. With Derek Jeter at the plate, sweat dripped down Francisco Rodriguez's face, for even though Rivera wasn't in the on-deck circle, KRod knew who was next. In a effort to avoid a potential meeting with Rivera, Jerry Manuel came to the mound in an attempt to persuade KRod to pitch to Jeter, and it worked, but only for one pitch. I guess KRod figured he should avoid the second coming of Mr. October. So after the intentional walk of Jeter, Rivera came strutting to the plate. Mariano is the poster boy for the old saying, "the name on the back is not as important as the name on the front"-the back of the helmet read "Ransom." KRod shook off any jitters that may have overcome him, and bared down. Ball 1. The crowd gets a little nervous in the Mets stadium; why would you throw a ball to a pitcher?  ... (link)
