((HT: YES/MLB))
There was only one way to do this...
In his last game at Yankee Stadium, Mariano Rivera was pulled...
But not in the way you think...
The best part...???
Michael Kay laid out for almost four minutes on play-by-play...
Classy move... very classy...

ICYMI: Yanks Get Metallica To Play Rivera Entrance Music Live
Okay, admittedly not Yankees fans, but this was pretty cool.
As the career of legendary closer Mariano Rivera winds to a close, his team, the New York Yankees gave him a send-off to remember on Sunday.
Along with all the requisite gifts like a rocking chair and plaques and speeches and all that, it was this moment perhaps that was the coolest of all.
Since Rivera's "Entrance Music" has always been Metallica's "Enter Sandman"....who better to provide the live entrance music:
MLB won't let us embed their video, so you'll have to check this one out. It's still pretty cool:

Vin Scully Calls A Rivera Save... How Cool Is That...???
((HT: MLB/FSWest))
There are few times on this earth that we get to see greatness wrapped in greatness...
Last night, in Los Angeles, the Yankees beat the Dodgers but that wasn't the story...
For the bottom of the ninth, Vin Scully called a Mariano Rivera save...
Sit back and enjoy...
Standard excellence from both and the HQ wouldn't expect anything less...

Nate Freiman's Bloop Reminds Us Of Another
((HT: MLB/CSN))
Nate Freiman ended the Oakland-Yankees game this way today...
The Athletics are the 2nd team in Major League Baseball history to win 2 games this way in the 18th inning or later in same season- the other is the 1967 Yankees...
Fun stats from the 3-2 win:
Yankee pitchers threw 11 perfect innings
Oakland pitchers no-hit the Yankees 3-6 hitters- going 0 for 28
The A's won their 11th in a row at home, 21st in 26 overall, and moved a season-best 14 games above .500.
It's still their best start since since 1990.
They became the first AL team to play two 18-inning games in one season since Oakland and the Washington Senators did it 1971.
The game went 5 hours and 35 minutes...
Each team used seven pitchers and threw 255 pitches.
137 batters came to the plate- still 19 short of the season high of 156 during Oakland's 19-inning win over the Angels and the 20-inning game between the Marlins and Mets last Saturday...
Oh, the other event it reminded us of...???

Just that Freiman's went further and a little more left...

BREAKING: Rivera Has Torn Knee Ligament
After his team's game tonight in Kansas City against the Royals, Yankees manager Joe Girardi says closer Mariano River has a torn knee ligament.
It was suffered on this play during BP
((HT: YES/MLBN/youtube))
Rivera is baseball's career saves leader with 608. And Rivera has hinted this will be his last season. He is 1-1 with five saves and a 2.16 ERA in nine appearances this season.
So, don't be surprised if Rivera is done taking today as a sign...
