Mariano Rivera is a Panamamian right handed pitcher for the New York Yankees. He was born and raised in Panama and is currently 42 years old. He is one of the most productive pitchers in the MLB and is the closer for the Yankees. This means at the ends of games he steps in and shuts down the opposing team. He is said to be a for sure hall of fame pick in the future and will most likely be considered the best closer in baseball. He started as a starting pitcher but did not do as well as they hoped so they moved him to the set up man. After he did that for awhile they felt as if he would excel as a closer and that is where he found his groove. His personality is known as friendly and considerate. He is a 12-timne All-Star and a 5-time World Series Champion. Unfortunately, he torn his ACL recently and is out for the remainder of the season. "Mo", as they call him, will go down in history and will never be forgotten.
