New York Yankees: Mariano Rivera blown away by 1st HOF visit

Legend says that Mariano Rivera has ice water coursing through his veins. Consequently, the moment was never too big for the New York Yankees legend, as he calmly became the best closer the MLB has ever seen.

However, on Friday the 49-year-old let the moment get to him at the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Friday.

According to northjersey.com’s John Kekis, during the visit Mo “stopped at the entrance to the Plaque Gallery inside the Baseball Hall of Fame and just gazed at the walls, awestruck by the moment.”

Voters recently made Rivera the first ever unanimous Cooperstown selection.
