Ball point pen on today's newsprint

When Metallica's "Enter Sandman" begins to play on the stadium's PA system,  it's a very good night in the Bronx. Yankee fans look forward to sweet dreams while visiting ball clubs deal with the nightmare of Mo's wicked cutter.

For 18 seasons, Yankee fans have had the privileged to witness the best closer, maybe even the best pitcher, in the history of the baseball.

With a season ending injury to the 42 year old Mariano Rivera, Yankee fans are waking to the possibility that they will never see him pitch again and the team is contemplate a future without the greatest closer of all time.

A speedy recovery Mo.

The Yankees opened a new Stadium on Thursday. The house that Ruth built now stands empty across the street as the current crop of Yankees hope to build a winning tradition in their new digs. It was fitting that perhaps the greatest closer/relief pitcher of all time, Mariano Rivera, recorded the first ever save at the new stadium on Friday April 17th.
