I thought this was funny, most Yankees fans won't though, but it was Rivera related. Someone on facebook was asking what your favorite moments were(that you personally saw) and it was in response to his send-off last night, which was great. The first three things I thought of, with me being a Pirates fan that isn't old enough to remember them winning a World Series, were all Mariano related and it was just a coincidence with the timing.
Game 4 2004 ALCS
Game 5 2004 ALCS
Game 7 2001 WS
Those were the first three great moments I thought of and I guess that is a compliment to Rivera if you think about it.
