Exit Sandman

The Yankees held an outstanding ceremony before today’s game to honor Mariano Rivera.  I was surprised to see so many of Rivera’s past teammates in attendance.  I was even more surprised to see that Metallica was in attendance to perform Enter Sandman.  Rivera was showered with tons of gifts and love.  Fellow retiree Andy Pettitte started and was excellent.  Rivera pitched 1 2/3 innings.  However, the Yankees lost a tough game.  Hopes of a playoff berth look bleak.
