Mariano Rivera tears ACL

[Les Miles]

Not a Yankees fan but I hope Rivera, the career saves leader can make it back and go out on his own terms. He's a class act.

Rivera, 42, suffered a torn ACL and a torn meniscus in his right knee after he fell awkwardly to the ground while shagging a fly ball during batting practice on Thursday night.

I wouldn't be surprized if he calls it a career; really not alot for him to come back for (he doesn't need the money); there's nothing left for him to prove...also he's 42-43 and it's a long time to wait till next April.

I've had that surgery. Rehab is long and tough.

man, to go out like that for a Hall of Famer would be tough, even a hated Yankee. Memo to Braves, let Durbin shag flyballs, not Kimbrell.

Wasn't much of a fan of his, until I heard him give all the glory to God.
