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.
Some of Mariano Rivera's finest moments have come against the Mets -- look no further than his 500th save and lone career RBI in 2009, or his work in the 2000 World Series.
But Rivera's favorite Subway Series moment actually happened earlier in the 2000 season, on July 8, when the Yankees and Mets played a doubleheader split between Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium due to an earlier rainout. Rivera saved both ends of the twin bill, tossing two scoreless innings on a busy day of work.
