As Mariano Rivera prepares to retire, the closer's farewell tour has become a central subplot to the season. Major League Baseball's all-time saves leader has been greeted warmly in each of his road stops, and the Yankees are planning a ceremony of their own to honor Rivera's illustrious career in September.
Rivera will be the last active player to regularly wear uniform No. 42, with the number having been retired throughout MLB in 1997 to honor the achievements of barrier-breaking great Jackie Robinson. During his 19-year big league career, Rivera has also chiseled his own mark on the number's legacy. In honor of Rivera and his contributions, MLB.com is commemorating 42 notable moments from Rivera's career -- the 42 Days of Mo.
Mariano Rivera had already saved a nearly unprecedented number of games in the 1998 playoffs when he took the mound for Game 4 of the World Series on October 21.
The Yankees reliever, in his fourth season with the Bronx Bombers and second as the full-time closer, saved two of three games in the American League Division Series against the Rangers, and appeared in the ninth inning four times (one save) in the AL Championship Series against the Indians. He had also saved Games 1 and 3 of the World Series against the Padres when he took the mound that Wednesday at Qualcomm Stadium.
