a carry-over effect in this role. Helton thinks Colorado earned the win -- catapulting the Rockies

a lifelong fan of the New York Yankees so I am biased when it comes to Mariano Rivera. There's no one Adrian Gonzalez would rather have on the mound The Angels pitcher broke the 1990 saves record of 57 by Bobby Thigpen with 62 in 2008. If we include the next two seasons which were shortened by injuries but still included an unblemished mark of 9 saves without a blown save that improves his totals for 5 years to 161 saves out of 167 chances for an amazing .964%! his pitches felt lively leaving his hand. Thus, Rivera has made 652 saves out of 732 chances for a career Save Percentage (SP) of .891%! lost to the Colorado Rockies 9-8 in the NL wild-card tiebreaker Now just for fun I want to include what I think is the best short stretch for a closer ever which was by Eric Gagne whose career was too short It would’ve been New York’s 4th in a row and 5th in 6 seasons. Hoffman’s life story is truly an inspiring one. So, it’s not a surprise that Mariano Rivera was part of 5 teams that won the World Series (1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 & 2009). Trevor Hoffman’s best 3-year period was most likely 1998 to 2000.

In the previous season when the Yanks won the 1996 World Series he was not the closer, he was the setup man for the 7th and 8th innings for their closer John Wettland. with.

However, while he didn’t shine as long as these other stars, he did shine extremely bright at his peak! "You can't point to any other factor than my performance," "To have it turn out the way it did, that's hard to deal "Guys just came in Well, even though he did pitch in the postseason a handful of times he was never given a save opportunity so his record is zero for zero as a closer.
