Tonight was another amazing installment of Sunday Night Baseball. Of course, it being the last game in the Sox/Yankees series, I've been looking forward to it all day. Tonight was a special occassion because it will be Mariano Rivera's last scheduled appearance at Fenway park. The Sox decided to have a commemorative ceremony in which the club and it's players presented Mo with gifts, praise and thanks for all of the spark he brought to the park and the rivalry over his career. I thought the whole presentation was heartwarming and truly made me a fan of the Sandman. ESPN has a great article that goes into detail about what all was said and done at the ceremony.
And the Sox came away with a sweep! The first series they've swept the Yankees this season. And though we still kept him from a win, tonight's game will never trump Mariano Rivera's Greatest Fenway Moment which will always be near and dear to any Red Sox fan's heart.
Goodnight!
