No baseball player has ever achieved perfection before like Mariano Rivera. His cutter was a gift from God he explained and since perfecting it early in his career and shifting from promising young starting to the greatest closer of All-time, Mariano has become legendary and immortal. This past years perfected Hall of Fame vote makes him the only player in the history of the game to achieve such a feat and puts him into a category of one.
Having established the career saves record, post-season career saves record, and several other all-time records, Rivera gracefully walked away from the game on top in 2013. On a cool September night, Rivera was greeted on the mound by fellow Hall of Fame candidates and Core Four members Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte who took him out of the game and off the hill one final time at Yankee Stadium where Rivera left behind the game of baseball as the greatest. This very hard to find baseball was used during the final game Mariano Rivera played in on Sept 26, 2013 and is the ultimate Mariano Rivera piece of history. The baseball has additionally been signed by Rivera and comes with an MLB Authenticated hologram (EK 809299) and Steiner Sports.
