Mo was a class act from start to finish. And that is coming from a Red Sox fan. I won't miss him in the 9th against the Sox, but I will miss the sportsmanship. Something the game sorely needs more of.
There's not many athletes that go their entire career with one team and with absolutely no off-field incidents, etc to their name. Tim Duncan comes to mind in basketball, but the current list is a short one...

Desiderata
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
