Mariano and Clara Rivera New York Yankees Hall of Fame Legend and Pastor of Refuge of Hope
Mariano and Clara Rivera New York Yankees Hall of Fame Legend and Pastor of Refuge of Hope Mariano Rivera is a Major League Baseball (MLB) Hall of Famer who played 19 seasons for the New York Yankees and retired in 2013, closing a stellar career as a relief pitcher that included 17 seasons as their closer. A 13-time All-Star and 5-time World Series champion, he is MLB's career leader in saves (652) and games finished (952). Among his many accolades, Rivera won five American League (AL) Rolaids Relief Man Awards and three Delivery Man of the Year Awards and finished in the top three in voting for the AL Cy Young Award four times. Rivera was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019 in his first year of eligibility and was the first player elected unanimously by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Raised in Panama in the village of Puerto Caimito, Rivera signed a contract with the Yankees in 1990. He began his career in the major leagues in 1995 as a starting pitcher before converting to a reliever later in his rookie year and became the Yankees' closer in 1997. Over the course of his career he established a reputation as one of MLB's top relievers and was the saves leader in 1999, 2001, and 2004. Rivera was a key contributor to the Yankees' success from the late 1990s through early 2000s. A highly accomplished postseason performer, he was named the 1999 World Series MVP and 2003 AL Championship Series MVP.

Flannery: Affairs of the Heart Articles AFFAIRS OF THE HEART* MICHAEL T. FLANNERY** Baseball will be linked forever with family. Baseball is reminis- cent of fathers and sons holding hands as they enter their first ballpark together, bonding as they crack open peanuts, reach for foul balls, and cheer for their hometown heroes. While the con- cept of "Yankee" baseball particularly epitomizes these ideals, it also conjures images of sex, scandal, Hollywood stars, and tragic downfalls. In the minds of many, Yankee heroes are gods. Ultimately, however, they are just mortal men. And mortal men do not escape the randomness of life's adversities. All of our Yankee heroes have confronted the same personal issues that almost all families face, including death, divorce, custody debates, estate squabbles, domes- tic controversies, and drug addictions. For Yankee players in partic- ular, it seems the list is all too familiar. In dealing with family issues, many of our Yankee heroes have responded poorly.
