A run for the ages Ten years ago, Bill Clinton was President of the US, cell phones were in their early stages of being discussed, Ken Caminiti was having an MVP season and a little known reliever for the New York Yankees was undergoing his tutalage to become one of the greatest closers EVER. A salute to Mariano Rivera, perhaps one of the best at his craft ever.

It is no question wether closers should be able to make Cooperstown. Absolutely. As BullpenPro mentioned they usually participate in more games per season than starters do. And they are usually pitching in pressure situations. The only question left? Is Rivera the best ever? I am an Arizona native and big D Backs fan. As much as I loved seeing him blow that save in game 7 2001, I would still say no question, Sandman gets my vote for best closer ever. PS- Again agreeing with BullpenPro: Yankees fans are the most spoiled. I wish the D Backs had a $200 million+ payroll to spend each year. This year we have about 1/4 of that...
