Mariano Riviera Tore his ACL while messing around in the outfield during Batting Practice. He had planned to retire after this season, and this appears to be the end of this season. If this proves to be the end of his career, what a sad way to go out. Now, it's hard to blame him, for doing something unnecessary, since it is just as likely this [most likely] would have happened during normal exercises and game play, considering his age and conditioning.
As a Red Sox fan [for life!] you might expect me to be grateful for his early departure, but, no, I am not. I never really considered him the "Ultimate Closer" [especially with his track record against the Red Sox!] and looked forward to the Sox BIG Hitters coming up against him in the last inning of a close game!
