Myth of Goose Gossage 'durability' v Mariano Rivera

Gossage's alleged "durability" vanished (sometimes over the fence) in too many of his post season and all star opportunities--when it mattered most. That's not durable:

  • 16. Gossage's alleged durability is a myth when compared to Mariano Rivera's. Gossage must've worn himself out in the regular season, because he lacked the "durability" or "mentality" of the best closer--who has done it in 13 consecutive post seasons along with a number of all stars. Gossage had more flops than durabilty in post season and all star--when it mattered most. Also, in Rivera's 76 post season games, he averages 1.54 IP/appearance. If that's the same as only 1 inning, how come everyone doesn't do it?
Gossage speaks of how mind-blowing it was being a Yankee. But Yankee management allows him to debase the Yankee name with incessant rants against a current Yankee, Mariano Rivera.
