Mariano Rivera has amassed a record 652 saves, has been a member of five World Series championship teams and is almost universally recognized as the greatest closer baseball ever has known.
This season, he has enjoyed a career victory lap afforded few players in the history of any sport.
But there is still one unfulfilled wish on Rivera's bucket list, and on Thursday, he moved closer to making it a reality: Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he would seriously consider playing Rivera in center field this weekend in Houston in one of his club's final three games.
"Absolutely," Girardi said when asked if he was entertaining the prospect of allowing Rivera to achieve one more baseball dream. "But not here, because these games are still meaningful for Tampa."
