Fun Fact: More people have landed on the Moon than have scored against Mariano Rivera in the Postseason.
Tf
More people have landed on the Moon that have scored against me in the postseason, so what
@@harrylewis80 don' be mad buddy
Harry Lewis
Do you play in the MLB?
How many times did Rivera come in w men on base.....
You heard Sandman, you knew you were finished. What a career, what a man. Hall of Famer.
I was just telling my friend that Enter Sandman gives players who've faced Mo PTSD 😁
The Sandman always puts everyone to sleep
You KNEW what was gonna be thrown and you still weren’t gonna get a hit.
Ya knew it was hammer time
Unless you were Miguel Cabrera.
Batters still piss themselves when they hear Enter Sandman. Thanks for the ride Mo
Andrew Conlon-Riser when I found out he's a trump supporter it erased everything he did as a yankee as far as I'm concerned.
Reginald Massey why does it matter if he supported Trump?
Reginald Massey Wow. That’s sad.
gally turndrop but true
Reginald Massey Hold up, Mo is a Trump supporter?
The GREATEST Closer to have ever stepped foot on the mound.
John Stjohn Hoffman #1 then Mo #2
Nolen Glonek who's number one in saves?
Lol gotta be a troll. Mo is #1 and its not even all that Close. And just became the first player EVER to unanimously voted into the HOF. Hoffman 😂
Monad R haha you came here after the HOF inductees, me too. Yeah sorry Big Mo is the best closer to ever toe the rubber, don’t know if anyone will beat him (barring any injuries though, Josh Hader may have a shot 😬)
John, absolutely right...he's simply the best! I miss him so much. Nobody will ever come close to his greatness.
The last time no. 42 was seen on a baseball field.
+rmkw4291 Except for every year on Jackie Robinson Day
oh ok, but he was the last player to wear it as a true squad number, a lot of players though wore it as a tribute to Jackie.
+rmkw4291 Saw him live at Coors Field... Whole stadium went nuts, Wasn't expecting to but when he came out Enter sandman played in a visiting ballpark...
+Billy Emmerling That's when you know you're GOAT
rmkw4291 except on Jackie Robinson day
Enter Sandman has to be the perfect song for a closer.
Along with Hells Bells and Wild Thing
@@K3ithSt0n3 no no - those are great entrance songs too, but it stops there. Enter Sandman, though, is both an awesome & iconic entrance song while also being a perfect description of what the closer is there to do. When Rivera enters the game, it's lights out... just like the sandman. Exit light, enter night. It's literally perfect.
Over and done with
Even as a Red Sox fan like me you can't deny the greatness of Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter
Daniel Heinrich and Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Earle Combs, Joe DiMaggio, and CC Sabathia.
+Pink Floyd is the Best Band of All Time. Tommy Henrich
Daniel Heinrich And Posada And Pette And Bernie and Joe
Daniel Heinrich
Well said, rival
These are guys we just have to respect. They'll remain in all of our memories.
I'm glad they used a recording of Bob Sheppard for the announcement.
choops4683 I'm sure he was happy when Mo and Jeter decided to no show his funeral and piss all over his grave like the classless men they are
@@PhillyLeotardo25 The players probably barely knew him. Front office guys like Cashman showed up to represent the organization. The players paid their respects on the field. Funerals can just be those closest to the person, there's no harm in that. The patches, kind words, and continued use of his voice shows plenty of respect
@@PhillyLeotardo25 I think you need to do another 20 years in the can. 🤣🤣
@@chase5833 Plus I recall reading that they weren't told of the funeral.
50 years from now, I'll be telling my grandchildren that I got to see the Great Mariano Rivera!
because you probably will be
50 years from now he will probably be able to still strike out half the league
vashthestampede11 ikr, and I’ll say I got to see The Goat Derek Jeter!!
I got his autograph when he visited my shop in Toronto and 6 yrs later any baseball fan I tell I got arguably best closer to pitch and everyone I tell say no argument there .
Nothing sweeter than Mo’ throwing heat and listening to Jorge Posada’s mitt popping after striking out a batter and the Stadium rocking to “Enter the Sandman”. The best of all times. We’ll never see another one like him. Ever. “Shut’em down Mo’”!!!!! Class act on the field and even a better human being. May God bless you Mariano Rivera!!
Tampa Bay is a classy team. When Jeter hit his 3000th hit off of Price, they got out of the dugout and applauded him just as long as the crowd did, and they did the same thing with MO. Joe Maddon lets his guys have fun but they know the right thing to do. Runs his squad the right way.
any team would applaause somthing like that
skyrimfan30 except Yankees fans unless throwing beer on a man's wife is a nod than yeah they are classy
Agreed.
Kevin Hayes Hmm didn’t the celebrate David Ortiz?
Adem Gunol no they gave him a mix reaction when Holt came in to PR but they didn't stop the game for 30 min like Sox did for Jeter.
I'm 40 years old, been a Metallica fan for 30 of those 40 years, with that being said, every single time I hear Enter Sandman, and everytime I hear it in the future, I think of and will ALWAYS think of Mariano Rivera...
Was Mariano Rivera, the only player that used that walkout song? Was there sort of written (or unwritten rule) that only once a player uses the song, than no other player can use that song ?
& was this done before or after Virginia Tech started using this song?
I was there. Bought a $500 camera just for that night. Watched him running from my seat with the Bleacher Creatures. One of the best nights of my life. The greatest of all time.
Did you get some great shots?
"MO Riviera! MO Riviera!"
Is that you at 1:54 😂
I'm from Panama 🇵🇦 and I'm very proud of Mariano Rivera. He will soon have his Baseball Stadium named after himself for what he did for baseball. It's about 54% built and will hold 10,000 fans seated. It already looks great as it is. Thnaks #42.🎉
Thank you Panama for lending us your son. New Yorkers are forever grateful.
Having Bob Sheppard introduce Mo was a nice touch. :)
+smittykins he said "Mariano Rivero"
Only a true Yankee fan catches that! 👍🏻👍🏻
BFMurder I hate the Yankees. Astros fan for life
***** are you .500?
Melancholy Sensation well you lost to the Astros so.....
Although I'm a Red Sox fan, I have to say I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Sandman. Being the closer for the same team for 17 seasons is a feat in and of itself. Being the best at it year after year is another. Not letting it go to his head? Now, that's respectable. This man exemplified how all baseball players should be, and he will be remembered for decades (if not centuries) to come as one of the best players ever. As much as I detest the Yankees, I must admit I always loved to watch Mariano Rivera play the game, because he played it the right way.
Mo seemed to have the least success against the Sox, or close to. He blew the 2004 ALCS.
@@broadstreet21 You know he had gave up one earned run against the Red Sox that series right? It was the same amount in the 2003 series where he was the MVP. Plus saying that he blew the 2004 series was a bit misleading when he was actually among the least of the problems with how Gordon starts struggling at inopportune time in Game 5 which puts Mo in a position that would be difficult for any closers in general and the fact that the Yankees offense suddenly starts messing up scoring opportunities after Game 3. You made it sounds like he was the sole reason for the loss which is far from the truth.
@@broadstreet21 2 saves 1.29era 1earned run. What you meant to say is he wasnt "perfect" . Remember there was a time pre2004 and post 2004 where I believe he did pretty good against the sox. Check it out.
@@voicesof1846 It's hyperbole, but head to head against all opponents, it was the Sox that appeared to have more success than other opponents.
I’m a dodgers fan, this is how I feel about buster posey lol
coming from a red sox fan, i love this guy because he is such a class act
I like that you respect the rival
Dwheels220 I like this guy because he could never close a game against the Red Sox 😂😂
Mo and Jeter will ALWAYS have the respect of this Red Sox fan.
Pinnacle Paracord not surprising considering you support Manny,Ortiz,Brady,Pierce,Garnett
Nolen Glonek Just like in 2003 game 7 huh
Mariano RIvera is the greatest closer the game will ever see - I say that as someone who watched him torment the Red Sox for years.....his cut fastball was a thing of beauty. Such a classy and humble human being as well.
David Ortiz is the only guy I know who have not lost the world series. That is very respectable. And as a Yankees fan, I'll call him the Jordan of baseball.
There will be better.
Brandon Shafer Not in our lifetimes.
Renaissance Man Zach Britton
TheMitmit03 When the Reliever of the Year wins the 'Zach Britton Award', then we'll talk.
The camera angle and the announcing of his name followed by Enter Sandman, just perfect
9 years later this still brings tears to my eyes watching this!! The GOAT
Im a die hard Cardinals fan, but seeing Mo come in at a Yankee game rates top five baseball memories all time for me.
That was the coldest entrance ever
Of all the closers' themes, I think this one, and "Hell's Bells" when Trevor Hoffman came out of the bullpen were my favorites.
Rivera actually "borrowed" this from Billy Wagner.
+cookiegate LOL! More like the other way around
Th33Vultur3 Nope. Wagner had it first. And Mo didn't pick this. The Yanks picked it for him.
Scott Peterson I like grant balfours
JJ putz came out to "thunderstruck" it was cool.
His farewell tour was truly amazing! Every stadium he played in he was given long, heartfelt, and emotional applause. Baseball fans are the best in world when it comes to the history of the game. All of us fortunate enough to see him pitch over his amazing career know how special he was. He was living history. Every era has its own pantheon of baseball Gods. Mr. Rivera is one. He changed the position and the impact on the game itself is immeasurable.
one of the most respected players. A generous person in his philanthropy in NYC and Panama. Never accused of cheating, doping, or any misconduct. On the diamond, feared by most, respected by all. You knew what was coming at you. Most people couldn't handle it.
There are only a few things that make me cry. One of them is playing "Enter Sandman"
Ehxb PS3 lol
"Here comes my cutter, boys. I'm going to throw it on my first pitch to you, and on the second. I will throw that pitch alone until you make an out. Good luck trying to hit it."
This was his silent message to hitters for two freaking decades, and the hitters never figured out a way to hit it. We might never see another baseball player who was so dominating. Think about it this way... if he had an equally dominant offensive counterpart it would be someone who hits a homerun on almost every at bat.
Man. I miss this guy. I hope the Yankees make him a coach, or ambassador, or something so that he remains a Yankee forever. Thanks for the memories, Mo.
Babe Ruth could be the counterpart lmao
Absolutely.
crimdell Papi figured it out
Papi was the only one after years of at bats against him. you right.
Perfection...name it "the moe"
Who is cutting up onions around here
Seriously, man! :'(
The unquestionably, undeniable, undisputed greatest reliever and closer of all time. There is no argument.
The greatest closer in the history of the game. There will NEVER, EVER be another. Elected to the HoF with 100% of votes in his first year of eligibility. Thank you Mo.
I'm a orioles fan but Mariano and jeter were the first baseball players that I knew of. I might be going to jeters last game in Baltimore and even though ill get booed I'm gonna give him a standing ovation
You will never get booed for honoring a legend.
I was there. On my birthday when I was 8 I was there when he got 602 saves. I was also there for Mariano Rivera Day the day before I turned 10. Really great to experience all that.
Tomorow a little humble kid dream becomes a reality, thanks MO # 42 from 🇵🇦 to the world 🌎
I'm not a Yankee fan, but I always had great respect for Mo, Jeter, and Pettitte
DE PANAMÁ PAL MUNDO!!!!
First HOF player ever UnaniMOus
Was at a game in Tampa when i was little and i was begging to get Jeter or Johnny Damon’s autograph. Damon came out and walked right by myself and a group of kids and we were all sad. Out of nowhere Mo walked up and signed for everyone that was there. Such a class act.
Mariano rivera really was the sandman he was every hitters worst nightmare
Such a heavy, dark song for a sweet, humble guy
As much as I hate the Yankee's.... I respect 42.....
SC457A I love the Yankees.
No worries buddy, Every team has haters. I love my Cowboys, A lot of people do not.
Can't stand them, but Mo.....is just what the game is. Ruth Mantle JoeD Williams Mays Jackie Clemente and the list go's on. That's why he got that 💯%
I respect 42 Robinson
Same
Bob Sheppard, Metallica and Mariano ... Who would have ever guessed years ago these three would come together so well?!
He could still pitched another 2 seasons easily and been dominating.
This will always give me chills.
As a Padres fan, I’ve never forgotten the Yankees smoking us in the WS. But from Ruth and Gehrig, to Jeter and Rivera, I tip my cap to the great players from the “evil empire.”
Never forget though Tony had an amazing series. Hold your head up on that one.
@@Jusbklyn79 He's probably among the reasons the Padres even had a shot in couple of games.
...and as a Yankees fan, I know that Langston stroke out Tino.
@@mario3mmelero571 I also know the third pitch that at bat was a ball.
This guy was the best....Hands down when they play enter sandman I think of this guy and Yankee stadium going crazy.
There will NEVER be another Maiano Rivera. That man was the GREATEST closer in MLB history
There will never be another sandman. CP GOAT!!!
I'm a Red Sox fan and this video still gives me chills. A true class act. I'll never forget sweating bullets whenever he took the mound! Thanks for the memories Mo
9 years later and this still brings back all the emotions growing up watching that man. #GOAT
We'll probably never see this in our lifetime ever again.. This guy was just lights out.
There are closers, and there's Mariano Rivera. As a Nats fan, you gotta recognize a true GOAT when you see one.
I remember this day, I was there, I cried, he was my idol growing up and is who inspired me to play softball. and I will forever be thankful for him for showing me such a wonderful game.
The best pitcher in MLB and also the best closer of all time...
Saludos al Grandioso Mariano Rivera, desde Rep Dominicana HALL OF FAME
Can’t believe it’s been 8 years. Mariano Rivera is still the greatest closer ever till now.
Hader
@@hennybreenssports9388 Not even close.
@@hennybreenssports9388 bruh no way
I'm Cleveland all the way with anything, but I gotta say he had the greatest entrance song of all time.... great player
Best entrance theme ever... it’s like watching WWE.
One of the biggest representation of "Game Over" in MLB history.
No question EVER Mo is the greatest baseball player ever hands down. I still get chills every time I here the start of entersandman. My 11 year old daughter has been playing that song since she was 4 her first word was dad second Mo third Jeter. Brought home from the hospital in a Yankees onesie. #YANKEESFANFORLIFE #GREATESTPLAYEREVER
Love Mariano! One of the kindest and most generous ball players ever. God bless Mariano and everyone
Seeing the core four at the end of their run, was such an honor. The last time I saw Mo, I had tears. Same with Jeter. The season after Jeter retired, my father, who is why I’m a Yankees fan, ended up passing away. This was the end to a whole era for me.
Never noticed that the Tampa bench came out of the dugout and applauded when he came in . . . Class !
It was an absolute honor to watch him for all those years. So many times you knew the game was over once the first few bars of Enter Sandman could be heard from the PA.
One of the great thrills in my life was to attend a Yankees game and see Mariano Rivera come out of the bullpen in the 9th inning to Enter Sandman. For most any Yankees fan, especially those of us who live far away from the East Coast, Mariano Rivera's entrance late in a ballgame was a memorable moment because he nearly always delivered.
Simply the best period
Knowing that if you had a 1 run lead in the ninth, that the game was as good as over is a privilege that I miss dearly.
Not just was he the Greatest Closer but the Greatest Class Act too.
To this day I get goosebumps throughout my body when I see that jog and hear enter sandman
Greatest Closer of All Time! Miss him.
That era is what will bond me to my father forever
But I am sad that I don’t even care to watch a game anymore
Maybe one day the joy in it will come back 🤷♂️🙏
Baseball has so many greats, it's impossible to name one GOAT. You can't even name the greatest to play at a particular position. Mariano Rivera is the only exception. He is the clear-cut best closer to ever play the game.
Just finished his book and he is such a class man. I am not a Yankees fan. But Mo and Jeter are HUGE legends in my book.
Thanks for the memories 42! Go Yankees!
He was and there can be no debate, the greatest closer to ever play. Nobody will ever come close
I have 3 baseballs autographed by Rivera and he is the most polite person I have ever met and his handwriting looks like a famous signature from the Declaration of Independence. Those Yankee teams were class all the way and it was an event to watch them play rather you loved them or hated them.
Hated them with a passion (was an Orioles fan) but I had to respect them for spending the money to keep the team together. Say what you want about Steinbrenner but he wanted to win at all costs and would open up the checkbook if he had to in order to make it happen.
I always get chills when I hear this song now
Same
Una leyenda!!!!
The greatest closer, ever.
Still gives me chills. Miss him and Jeter
The last game 42 was worn, not on april 15, Goodbye Mo.
Enter Sandman
So many times in sports we argue about who’s the goat. This is a rare time where there is no doubt, the greatest closer of all time.
An extremely bittersweet moment as a Yankee fan, incredibly thankful for him but was devastated at the thought of the team without him. So lucky to have been able to watch this man.
Psycharitrist: Music cant hurt
(cue enter sandman)
Every player who faced him: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Greatest closer of all time! He's a lock for the HOF, he'll go in this year no doubt.
This is just one of the reasons I love baseball so much.❤
As a Boston fan I used to hate seeing Mr. Rivera come on to the field. The guy was just in auto pilot. Looking back those were some of the best times. Thank you Mr. Rivera.
And people think Edwin has a better walkout 😂😂
Fr😂😂
I would try to say otherwise but you loser yankee fans will just argue till you get your way 😪
Only stupid Met fans
Gracias Mariano por darle tantas glorias al ⚾️ y 🇵🇦, todos juntos venceremos al COVID-19 💪
No one in my lifetime will ever begin to approach Mo….no one else will ever even sniff his greatness
Un espectáculo el.señor , vi muchos partidos que cerró y guauuu que temple y talento , además de humilde !
When I heard this when I seen the Yankees play I only have 2 words to say! "LIGHTS OUT"!
You should enroll in an English as a second language course. Unless English is your first language, if so, you need help with your grammar.
Harold what are you talking about?
Your grammar is horrible in your original post.
HaroldM814 s no one cares we knew what he meant
Sorry guys I was drunk as shit when I wrote this and mad. I know exactly what you meant.
Greatest closer of all time
Welcome to Cooperstown Mo! The greatest closer to ever step on a field.
head to toe, chills still.
Shoutout to the guy at 0:33 who completely ruined the shot.
ahahaha
How is he supposed to know? Dude is doing his job.
Not everything can be "perfect" in your simple eyes.
YaowBucketHEAD no ur right. He was just doing his job. Not his fault. But unfortunately, 0:33 would’ve been a really nice photo. Seeing Mo walk onto the field thru the outfield wall door
Game 7 of the World Series, 2 outs, 5-2, bases loaded.
Yankees: Play Enter sandman
Other team: *Why do I hear final boss music?*
Greatest closer ever. And the Late 90's, early 2000's Yankees was the greatest baseball era ever. So glad I got to experience it.
Glad I share a name with one of the greatest Closers of all-time! Always enjoyed watching him pitch, even as an A’s fan.
UNANI-MO-US. HoF 2019!
Well deserved (from an A's fan who hates the Yanks lol)
you even have 42 likes for your comment
THE FIRST 100% HALL OF FAMER!
Lifelong O's fan...much respect, Sandman. Best of all time.
I love how nobody hates Mo. Truly the greatest reliever of all time.
There are some who does but then again these aren't the most reputable people.
