Wow.
That’s really all I’ve been able to say since hearing that Mariano Rivera was carted off the field during batting practice tonight, having hurt his knee while shagging fly balls.
No baseball fan wants to see the greatest closer who’s ever lived end his career this way, but if he tore his ACL, Mariano might have thrown his last pitch.
Losing the best closer in history is a huge loss, both in terms of on-field production and the confidence Rivera gives his teammates, who know that all they need to do is have a lead after eight innings to virtually guarantee victory on any given night.
But, now that I’ve had some time to process the news, here are six reasons Yankee fans shouldn’t panic, because the Yankees can overcome losing Mo.
