Earlier today Mariano Rivera broke the all-time saves record. He picked up his 602 save to pass Trevor Hoffman for the all time saves record. This certifies Rivera's spot as best reliever of all time. Rivera is a 12 time all-star and has won 5 World Series. You could say that the Yankees would not have won at least half of those 5 World Series without Rivera. He has finished 881 games. He was also the 1999 World Series MVP. Rivera has done a lot of amazing things throughout his career, but this could be his favorite. The Yanks defeated the Blue Jays. The Yanks have ran away from Boston. From Jeter's 3,000 hit to this, the Yanks have had a pretty big year.
