With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop —
Major League Baseball recently concluded an investigation regarding an SB Nation report that Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera was caught spitting on the baseball during his appearance in Game 3 of the ALCS yesterday. Rivera was seen spitting in the general direction of the ball before the camera cut away to Angels manager Mike Scioscia. Emphasis added:
he initial reaction by the league had been that the video plus still pictures they have of the incident were inconclusive if Rivera actually spit on or near the ball. But after further review of what it had, the ...

Mariano Riviera's "SpitBall", Sounds like a bad movie
Outside the Boxscore —
During game three of the ALCS, Yankees closer Mariano Riviera in the 10th inning appears to spit on the baseball that he is holding. The Angels went onto win but the question that everyone started ask is, "Did Riviera spit on the baseball?" Fox's coverage cuts away to a shot of Angels manager Mike Scioscia but it does appear that Riviera did spit on the ball. Then the blogosphere and YouTube got their hands of the video and many fans tried to proclaim that Riviera should be suspended for throwing a spit-ball. At this point, I could care less about whether Riviera threw a spit-ball or not. Did it ...
