602

Derek Jeter got to 3,000 hits this year. That’s a big deal. The hype started at the beginning of the season and continued until he finally did it. Again, 3,000 is a big milestone, but it’s not the all-time record or anything close.

Mariano Rivera is 5 saves away from 600 saves. He is 6 saves away from tying the all-time record and therefore 7 saves away from breaking it.

The all-time major league total saves record.

So where’s the hype? Does anyone who isn’t a Yankee fan even realize how close he is?

I did some digging on the MLB site and they do actually have a page up for this. But you’ll never find it if you aren’t looking for it.

Did I mention this is the all time record?

Anyway, I’ll say it again. Greatest. Closer. Ever.
