I'm from Panama 🇵🇦 and I'm very proud of Mariano Rivera. He will soon have his Baseball Stadium named after himself for what he did for baseball. It's about 54% built and will hold 10,000 fans seated. It already looks great as it is. Thnaks #42.🎉
I got his autograph when he visited my shop in Toronto and 6 yrs later any baseball fan I tell I got arguably best closer to pitch and everyone I tell say no argument there .
Nothing sweeter than Mo’ throwing heat and listening to Jorge Posada’s mitt popping after striking out a batter and the Stadium rocking to “Enter the Sandman”. The best of all times. We’ll never see another one like him. Ever. “Shut’em down Mo’”!!!!! Class act on the field and even a better human being. May God bless you Mariano Rivera!!
@@K3ithSt0n3 no no - those are great entrance songs too, but it stops there. Enter Sandman, though, is both an awesome & iconic entrance song while also being a perfect description of what the closer is there to do. When Rivera enters the game, it's lights out... just like the sandman. Exit light, enter night. It's literally perfect.
@@PhillyLeotardo25 The players probably barely knew him. Front office guys like Cashman showed up to represent the organization. The players paid their respects on the field. Funerals can just be those closest to the person, there's no harm in that. The patches, kind words, and continued use of his voice shows plenty of respect
Tampa Bay is a classy team. When Jeter hit his 3000th hit off of Price, they got out of the dugout and applauded him just as long as the crowd did, and they did the same thing with MO. Joe Maddon lets his guys have fun but they know the right thing to do. Runs his squad the right way.
I'm 40 years old, been a Metallica fan for 30 of those 40 years, with that being said, every single time I hear Enter Sandman, and everytime I hear it in the future, I think of and will ALWAYS think of Mariano Rivera...
Was Mariano Rivera, the only player that used that walkout song? Was there sort of written (or unwritten rule) that only once a player uses the song, than no other player can use that song ? & was this done before or after Virginia Tech started using this song?
+rmkw4291 Saw him live at Coors Field... Whole stadium went nuts, Wasn't expecting to but when he came out Enter sandman played in a visiting ballpark...
I was there. Bought a $500 camera just for that night. Watched him running from my seat with the Bleacher Creatures. One of the best nights of my life. The greatest of all time.
Although I'm a Red Sox fan, I have to say I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Sandman. Being the closer for the same team for 17 seasons is a feat in and of itself. Being the best at it year after year is another. Not letting it go to his head? Now, that's respectable. This man exemplified how all baseball players should be, and he will be remembered for decades (if not centuries) to come as one of the best players ever. As much as I detest the Yankees, I must admit I always loved to watch Mariano Rivera play the game, because he played it the right way.
@@broadstreet21 You know he had gave up one earned run against the Red Sox that series right? It was the same amount in the 2003 series where he was the MVP. Plus saying that he blew the 2004 series was a bit misleading when he was actually among the least of the problems with how Gordon starts struggling at inopportune time in Game 5 which puts Mo in a position that would be difficult for any closers in general and the fact that the Yankees offense suddenly starts messing up scoring opportunities after Game 3. You made it sounds like he was the sole reason for the loss which is far from the truth.
@@broadstreet21 2 saves 1.29era 1earned run. What you meant to say is he wasnt "perfect" . Remember there was a time pre2004 and post 2004 where I believe he did pretty good against the sox. Check it out.
Mariano RIvera is the greatest closer the game will ever see - I say that as someone who watched him torment the Red Sox for years.....his cut fastball was a thing of beauty. Such a classy and humble human being as well.
David Ortiz is the only guy I know who have not lost the world series. That is very respectable. And as a Yankees fan, I'll call him the Jordan of baseball.
His farewell tour was truly amazing! Every stadium he played in he was given long, heartfelt, and emotional applause. Baseball fans are the best in world when it comes to the history of the game. All of us fortunate enough to see him pitch over his amazing career know how special he was. He was living history. Every era has its own pantheon of baseball Gods. Mr. Rivera is one. He changed the position and the impact on the game itself is immeasurable.
one of the most respected players. A generous person in his philanthropy in NYC and Panama. Never accused of cheating, doping, or any misconduct. On the diamond, feared by most, respected by all. You knew what was coming at you. Most people couldn't handle it.
I'm a Red Sox fan and this video still gives me chills. A true class act. I'll never forget sweating bullets whenever he took the mound! Thanks for the memories Mo
"Here comes my cutter, boys. I'm going to throw it on my first pitch to you, and on the second. I will throw that pitch alone until you make an out. Good luck trying to hit it." This was his silent message to hitters for two freaking decades, and the hitters never figured out a way to hit it. We might never see another baseball player who was so dominating. Think about it this way... if he had an equally dominant offensive counterpart it would be someone who hits a homerun on almost every at bat. Man. I miss this guy. I hope the Yankees make him a coach, or ambassador, or something so that he remains a Yankee forever. Thanks for the memories, Mo.
The greatest closer in the history of the game. There will NEVER, EVER be another. Elected to the HoF with 100% of votes in his first year of eligibility. Thank you Mo.
I remember this day, I was there, I cried, he was my idol growing up and is who inspired me to play softball. and I will forever be thankful for him for showing me such a wonderful game.
I'm a orioles fan but Mariano and jeter were the first baseball players that I knew of. I might be going to jeters last game in Baltimore and even though ill get booed I'm gonna give him a standing ovation
I was there. On my birthday when I was 8 I was there when he got 602 saves. I was also there for Mariano Rivera Day the day before I turned 10. Really great to experience all that.
It was an absolute honor to watch him for all those years. So many times you knew the game was over once the first few bars of Enter Sandman could be heard from the PA.
One of the great thrills in my life was to attend a Yankees game and see Mariano Rivera come out of the bullpen in the 9th inning to Enter Sandman. For most any Yankees fan, especially those of us who live far away from the East Coast, Mariano Rivera's entrance late in a ballgame was a memorable moment because he nearly always delivered.
As a Padres fan, I’ve never forgotten the Yankees smoking us in the WS. But from Ruth and Gehrig, to Jeter and Rivera, I tip my cap to the great players from the “evil empire.”
Seeing the core four at the end of their run, was such an honor. The last time I saw Mo, I had tears. Same with Jeter. The season after Jeter retired, my father, who is why I’m a Yankees fan, ended up passing away. This was the end to a whole era for me.
No question EVER Mo is the greatest baseball player ever hands down. I still get chills every time I here the start of entersandman. My 11 year old daughter has been playing that song since she was 4 her first word was dad second Mo third Jeter. Brought home from the hospital in a Yankees onesie. #YANKEESFANFORLIFE #GREATESTPLAYEREVER
Was at a game in Tampa when i was little and i was begging to get Jeter or Johnny Damon’s autograph. Damon came out and walked right by myself and a group of kids and we were all sad. Out of nowhere Mo walked up and signed for everyone that was there. Such a class act.
An extremely bittersweet moment as a Yankee fan, incredibly thankful for him but was devastated at the thought of the team without him. So lucky to have been able to watch this man.
Thank you for the momeries! We will miss you - you are the best closer in history and you played the game with dignity...the Yankees will never be the same without you!!
Baseball has so many greats, it's impossible to name one GOAT. You can't even name the greatest to play at a particular position. Mariano Rivera is the only exception. He is the clear-cut best closer to ever play the game.
YaowBucketHEAD no ur right. He was just doing his job. Not his fault. But unfortunately, 0:33 would’ve been a really nice photo. Seeing Mo walk onto the field thru the outfield wall door
@Kyle Ranom, When that rule was made anybody who was wearing that number already was "grandfathered" in a was allowed to keep wearing it. Just that Mo was still young and ended up playing a long time following.
So glad I got to see Rivera time and time again. Some of my best baseball memories include Mariano running in from the bullpen to Enter Sandman. Doesn't sound very exciting but it was the highlight of the game.
TheUpTownFan I did have the privilege of going to the old stadium and watched the Rocket pitch. It's always sad when they tear down such historic places like that. I watched the same happen in my own city with Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, aka The Aud. I have yet to go the new stadium but looks nice on tv.
Saw a kid wearing a judge jersey. “Oh wow you must be a yankee fan?” he said “Yes sir i love the yankees!” i said “I’m a rays fan but i always loved Mariano Rivera.” and he said “Who?”
He's obviously not an up-to-date or speed Yankees fan! I've not known any Yankee fan who's not well aware of Mo! Kid needs a history lesson pronto! LMAO
You heard Sandman, you knew you were finished. What a career, what a man. Hall of Famer.
I was just telling my friend that Enter Sandman gives players who've faced Mo PTSD 😁
The Sandman always puts everyone to sleep
You KNEW what was gonna be thrown and you still weren’t gonna get a hit.
Ya knew it was hammer time
Unless you were Miguel Cabrera.
Batters still piss themselves when they hear Enter Sandman. Thanks for the ride Mo
Andrew Conlon-Riser when I found out he's a trump supporter it erased everything he did as a yankee as far as I'm concerned.
Reginald Massey why does it matter if he supported Trump?
Reginald Massey Wow. That’s sad.
gally turndrop but true
Reginald Massey Hold up, Mo is a Trump supporter?
I'm from Panama 🇵🇦 and I'm very proud of Mariano Rivera. He will soon have his Baseball Stadium named after himself for what he did for baseball. It's about 54% built and will hold 10,000 fans seated. It already looks great as it is. Thnaks #42.🎉
Thank you Panama for lending us your son. New Yorkers are forever grateful.
I'm of Panamanian descent (my grandma is native) and, despite my disdain for the Yankees, Mariano Rivera will forever hold a special place in my heart

Lol gotta be a troll. Mo is #1 and its not even all that Close. And just became the first player EVER to unanimously voted into the HOF. Hoffman 😂
John, absolutely right...he's simply the best! I miss him so much. Nobody will ever come close to his greatness.

Im a die hard Cardinals fan, but seeing Mo come in at a Yankee game rates top five baseball memories all time for me.
Of all the closers' themes, I think this one, and "Hell's Bells" when Trevor Hoffman came out of the bullpen were my favorites.
Rivera actually "borrowed" this from Billy Wagner.
+cookiegate LOL! More like the other way around
