In 1990, the Yankees paid a signing bonus of $2,000 to acquire a
young shortstop from an amateur baseball team in Panama. Mariano
Rivera had never even considered a career in baseball until he
became a Yankee. Now, he is considered the best postseason closer -
and perhaps the best closer - of all time, as well as one of the
main reasons the team won four World Series titles between 1996 and
2000, and lost one in 2001. In close games, Rivera's clutch
""saves"" have secured both wins and the Yankees' continued
appearances in the postseason. Off the field, Rivera has been
recognized for his philanthropic work in the United States and
Panama alike. In ""Mariano Rivera"", read the story of the man who
grew up playing baseball with a homemade cardboard glove in a small
fishing village to become the Yankees' beloved ""Mo"" through hard
work and natural talent.
