As a life-long Yankee fan, I would be quite surprised if Mariano and the Yankees get to the World Series.
We sure will miss him!! Pure class. I can’t think of anyone more dominating in a dedicated closing role with basically one pitch, ‘here it is, hit it fellas’, (they did not!), over the length of time Mo did. Joe Page, for only a couple of years, comes to mind as a one pitch, (pure gas), lights out pitcher. Goose for a time was a monster, (Apologies to Dick Radatz there!), and I’m sure I’m missing a few. The Bombers are in for a tough year I’m thinking. Reminds me of Summer, 1965 in the Bronx....things went to hell fast for the Yanks.
