Good Morning

Quote of the Day:
“Rivera will show absolutely anyone, including rivals, exactly how he throws the cutter. When I asked him why he was so unguarded, Rivera said, 'It’s a blessing from the Lord: when he gives you something, it’s yours.' It took me a moment to realize that he wasn’t saying that he had an obligation to share the blessing, but rather that no one without the blessing was going to throw his cutter. God had doled out his favors parsimoniously.”
~ James Traub, "Mariano Rivera, King of the Closers"
