Should a strictly pinch hitter be? If one had a .983 average? NEVER NEVER NEVER. This Rivera crap and the specialization of the game is why baseball has become la tragic waste. Nowadays, the baseball "fan" is only interested in the home run and dancing mascots. BLEH...and where did all this garbage start? You know where. Anyway...Rivera blew it BIG TIME in 2004 in the famous collapse against the Red Sox. This is worthy of NO VOTE. He could not handle the pressure. He needed ONE stinkin' , holy save but could not do it. Sure 500 three-out saves in meaningless games...Wheee... Face it... he participates in less than 7% of a team's innings. The bat boy does more work. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER a reliever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
