Mariano Rivera Memorabilia Buying Guide

By Sean J. O'Rourke

Dominant. If you had to sum up Mariano Rivera’s Hall of Fame career in one word, none would be more fitting. Considered the greatest closer in Major League Baseball history, Rivera has served as an integral and arguably the most necessary piece to four World Series Championship teams during his career with the New York Yankees. One of the premier players in modern baseball, Rivera has recorded over 440 saves, currently the third-highest total in baseball history. Despite his regular season accomplishments, Rivera’s true greatness has shown in the postseason where he is the all-time leader in saves and earned run average. Rivera is a four-time winner of the Rolaids Relief Man of the Year award, given to baseball’s best relief pitcher after every season. Following the events of September 11, 2001, Rivera donated his trophy to the New York City Fire Department in honor of the men and women who serve New York City. Although voters have been apprehensive to induct closers into the Hall of Fame, there is no doubt that when “Mo” calls it a career, the Baseball Hall of Fame shall come calling.

A man who dominated his position, Mariano Rivera is the greatest relief pitcher in baseball history. His signature pitch, the cutter, is often called the most dominant single pitch of all-time. As Rivera was the most important component to four World Series Championship teams, add Rivera’s greatness to your collection and make a true investment in one of the greatest baseball players of all-time.
