Mariano Rivera became the first player in major league history to make 1,000 appearances with the same team, cleaning up the ninth inning of the Yankees' 7-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on a sun-splashed afternoon in the Bronx.
I'm glad I only have to imagine what it would be like for the Yankees and Mets to reverse roles. I don't have to actually deal with this problem because it's not real for me or other Yankees fans.
