"Mo" Rivera

Mariano Rivera - "Mo"
Came from Panama to play ball
With the Yankees, and he could throw
Relief pitches for winning call.
His signature, a "cutter" pitch,
Both fast and sliding to put out
Many a batter's hitting itch.
Many a game he saved, no doubt!
Even tempered and generous
With time and money, Mo proves that
In pro baseball there is a plus
At scoring good beyond at bat.

"Mo" Rivera has left the mound,
A best of baseball all around.
