A friend passed along this cool tidbit from Jayson Stark (behind the paywall at ESPN):
Love this incredible note from the geniuses at our new favorite blog, You Can’t Predict Baseball: When Mariano Rivera gave up a leadoff ninth-inning triple to Elvis Andrus on Wednesday and then stranded him on third, it preserved one of baseball’s most amazing streaks. In the entire career of the great Mariano, when he’s allowed the tying run to reach third with nobody out, the other team has never gotten that run home.
And in Queens, the FAN is reporting that K-Rod tore a ligament on his hand. hahahahha! Kiss the skies now!!!!
K-Rod, remember how great it all was back in 2002? GFY, K-Rod.
Whoa.
But how many times has Mo allowed the tying run to reach third base with nobody out??
