The Great Mariano Rivera

Monday, June 29th, 2009

This will be a short one.  Mariano Rivera just got his 500th save…WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!  AND, he got his first RBI!  :)  That part was pretty funny to watch…he was walked when the bases were loaded.  I think most of you know his central role in my treatment.  For four and a half years now, he’s been my go-to guy for visualization, throwing out all the cancer cells that come up to bat.  Here’s to ya, Mo!!  I’m looking forward to the day when I can come up to Yankee Stadium and rock out with the rest of the crowd when “Enter Sandman” starts blaring on the speakers…if you remember, I adopted his song as my main leukemia-fighting song.  It’s pretty darn intimidating, just what those cancer cells need to know they better get out the way!  Here he is on his final night at the old Yankee Stadium…does it give you goosebumps too?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vOr82QepH0.  Congrats, Mo!  If you count me, you now have 501 saves!  :)
