From 1998 to 2013, no sound was more feared throughout baseball than the opening notes of Metallica's "Enter Sandman."
That song meant one thing: the bullpen doors at Yankee Stadium would soon open and the greatest closer of all time, Mariano Rivera, would head out from left center field to the mound while the ballpark erupted in deafening cheers.
Imagine how much less intimidating that scene would be if Mo hitched a ride to the infield in the passenger seat of a small Datsun automobile.
Sounds crazy, but if you are a fan of a certain age, you'll remember when each team in baseball employed a car and driver to escort their relievers to the pitcher's mound.
