He came to a team ready to blossom and dominate! He was the set up man for another- John Wetteland- He was supposed to keep the games close in the SEVENTH and EIGHTH innings - either holding on to the lead or keeping the YANKEES close.
After the 1996 Seasons, Wetteland became a free agent. Mariano was asked , then, to become the closes. 603 saves later- Wow, You;ve done the Yankee Universe so proud, El Rey Mariano!
Consistency, Dignity and Performance! Mariano grew up poor in Panama. He is still appreciative, likable and truly the role model that a Great Champion is expected to be!
- Johnny-
