On this day in 2013, New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera pitched his final game at Yankee Stadium to end his illustrious career. Rivera came in to pitch while the Yankees were losing 4-0 but it did not matter for the Cooperstown-bound closer. He pitched as great as he ever did.
With an out left in the 9th-inning, Joe Girardi decided to take Rivera out of the game and let him have his moment before the inning ended. Rather than him coming out to get the ball from Mo, he sent out two members of the core four in the form of Andy Pettite and Derek Jeter.
