The finest sportman to ever play the game.

There should be another movie called "42", staring Mariano Rivera.

Not the biggest fan of the yanks, but frankly I don't have to be to love the greatest closer of all time. The guy is an absolute class act and a sure fire HoFer, I'm saddened that in the 13 years I've been a baseball fan I've never seen him appear in my home park and never will. If they were to do a movie on him it would be called "Mo".

I am a panamenian and I still haven't seen him pitching, not even shake his hand. I know how you feel, but I will forever remember him since the first time I saw him closing with the Yankees in 1996.

Hopefully the first exclusive-closer pitcher to enter Coopestown Hall of Fame!

Wow, there really isn't any pure closer in the HoF? Only closer I can think of is Dennis Eckersley, but he was a starting pitcher the first half of his career.

Edit: Rollie Fingers, but he was more of a late inning guy than a initial closer from what I read briefly. Nonetheless the way Mo went out was just amazing a lot of love from sports fans. The last great to retire following seasons end was KGJ and that just handled terribly.
