    Not a surprise, and probably about time. Kudos to him for working to come back and go out on his own terms.

    Will anyone ever break Rivera's saves record? I think it will stand forever.

    If you missed the presser, he opened it by thanking the Steinbrenners for the two year extension into 2014-15. Not sure everyone got the joke at first.

    What a wonderful class act.

    The one Yankee nobody ever hated, not even Red Sox fans, and a man for whom the word gentleman was invented.

    The first example of Pierce they embed is very nice writing.
