Mariano Rivera has recorded save number 500 tonight against the Mets.
That amazing feat has only been accomplished by just one other closer in Major League Baseball history-- Trevor Hoffman (and that was in the NL).
"Definitely, it's good," Rivera said. "I won't tell you it's not meaningful. It's a blessing."
In addition to his 500th save, Mariano also recorded his first ever RBI after being walked with the bases loaded by none other than Fransisco Rodriguez.
Congratulations, Mo. You have been a vital part of the Yankees over the years and your services have definitely not gone unnoticed.
