Mo Named Athlete of the Year

Congratulations to Yankees closer Mariano Rivera on being named 2009 Sporting News Pro Athlete of the year.  "On a team full of superstars, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera went about his usual way in 2009, dominating opponents and helping New York claim its 27th World Series."

Mo had this to say when asked what it would be like to pitch for a different team:
"With all the respect that all the organizations deserve, it would be hard for me to consider playing for another team. If the opportunities are there, then you don't know. But I believe the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to play for one team."
