When Guillen was asked to define the significance of Rivera's 400 saves, he responded, "One word: Hall of Fame."

This from today's NY Times column by Jack Curry. Hey, Sam Borden I'll be looking for your next column putting Mo down--if it's like your last one, you'll start off by detailing what gave Rivera the "opportunity" to perform as he did--in other words, Mo was really lucky to've been given the gift of the "opportunity"--that's much more important for you to sell than the work he did. This has always been the main put-down of the ESPN/Disney blabbers. Why don't they harp on these perceived "opportunities" with the other so-called closers?

• Also, Mariano is the fastest in history AL or NL to get to 400+ and the only AL pitcher to do so.
