“Mariano is not getting any younger, but his stats will tell you otherwise. He was second in all closers in ERA, and the Yankees will prove once again to be the top contender in the AL. Rivera is as solid as they come in the 9th inning, and despite his age 40 saves can be expected.” @Muntradamus, Mar 9th |
