Mariano Rivera, the best closer in baseball, was named the A.L. player of the week for May 26 - June 1. In that time period he pitched in four games giving up 2 walks and 1 hit while striking out 7. He has been perfect in 15 save opportunities this year and looks to be having the best season of his illustrious career.
Rivera continues to be a class act as shown by this quote, "It's a blessing to have the opportunities, and you have to be blessed to pitch that long to achieve that. It's not about numbers. It's about having the opportunity to help the team, because without having my teammates to give me the opportunities, I would never have that."
I hope he is closing games for the Bombers for many years to come!
