NEW YORK -- Mariano Rivera made his legacy pitching in clutch moments.
And now, three years after retiring at the top of his game at the age of 43, Rivera may not be throwing the cut fastball he made famous anymore, but he still has the mentality that made him dominant.
"I think you look for those moments," Rivera said. "I must be a masochist, but I look for those moments."
Thanks in large part to those moments, the Yankees honored Rivera's 19-year career Sunday by unveiling his Monument Park plaque. The man known as "Mo" is baseball's all-time leader in saves (652) and games finished (952), as well as the pitcher with the best career WHIP since the 1920s at 1.
