Mo and Faith

You all know Mariano Rivera is my favorite Yankee. For many reasons. Interestingly the media rarely discusses his faith, probably because it’s both a subject that the media isn’t particularly comfortable with and it’s a subject where athletes are often less than sincere (like God cares who wins a baseball game).

So I thought this was a very good article.

The best quote in the article came from Tino Martinez:

Look, we’re all replaceable. Baseball can replace a first baseman, a shortstop, a third baseman. But you can’t replace him. When he’s not there, it will all change. He’s the single individual in the game where everything will be completely different without him. The way you approach the Yankees will be different. Everyone is wondering what that will be like.

I’m not looking forward to that…
