Answer me this. If Rivera has the same career but NOT in a Yankees uniform...say the uniform of the San Diego Padres....does he get this much attention and adoration?

Yes, that simple.

Best idea yet! RT @SamMillerBP: Now let Rivera play left field until it's time to get the final out, obviously.

Ortiz is a good guy. O's fan living in Boston. Really picked up the city with his short speech after the Marathon week.

I don't think so. He's a complete camera hog and poses after every home run. No thanks.

They are acting like this guy is the 2nd coming of Willie Mays or Pedro Martinez. He plays 1 freaking inning.

They showed him respect in his final all star game, that's all and he deserved it.

[eddie83]

Hell no. Trevor Hoffman didn't get this treatment.

He wasn't nearly as good that's why.

[FlipCup]

He wasn't nearly as good that's why.

Completely agreed.

[Moose Milligan]

Absolutely. He is the best ever at his position, yes... Being a closer is a position. You will NEVER see a closer that did it as well as he did for the duration that he did it.

Yeah, like everyone said there'd never be another Michael Jordan, and here's LeBron James.

[Terpsnation]

Lmao! Prince with a triple. Didn't see that one coming.

[Moose Milligan]

Fly, fatass, fly! Well done, Prince!

[Big#3fan]

Fielder could have easily had a in the park HR there

That was fun.

[Terpsnation]

He wasn't even running hard between home plate and first.

Fly, fatass, fly! Well done, Prince!

That was not an earthquake folks

He's the best closer of all time. It's his final season, final ASG, not Willie Mays or Pedro. So yeah he deserves the attention and standing ovation.
