Is This Goodbye Sandman?

I wanted to slap this together today.  Sorry for any grammar or spelling issues (I don't have my regular proof reader).

I owe Mariano Rivera a lot.  Why? Welp, he gave me many extra hours of sleep.  Since 1997, when Mo entered the game, I could safely go to sleep.  That was it ... game over!  Exit Light ... Exit Night ... Off to never never land.

I'm not into the "he's the best ever" statement or "this player is better than that player" - unless of course its comparing Willie Mays and Mario Mendoza (I give the edge to Mays).  But, I'll have to say that Mo is the best closer ever.  Yes there are those that will say Eckersley or Sutter was better, or Goose, Hoffman and Fingers have the edge over him.  I say not quite.  First of all, there is his longevity and his saves (more than anyone in history).  Next is that ice-water he has flowing around in his veins.  Doesn't matter the situation, he's as cool as a Navy Seal.

Hope this isn't it for Mo, but if it is - I'm gonna miss him... and my sleep.

Thanks for reading
