User luiginyc84 met the greatest closer of all time, Mariano Rivera at the Steiner Sports signing and sent us this awesome report."
"
Went to the Steiner Sports signing at the Roosevelt Field Mall today for the Greatest Closer of All Time. Mariano RIvera! Got to the mall a little before 4pm, picked up my tickets and went to the check the line and noticed a couple people online already so I figured I might as well to. I was 5th. Signing was scheduled for 6:30pm. Started maybe 10 minutes late. There was a "VIP Line" of about 5-7 people, but they took our line first and I went through before them. Dont know why since they were "VIPs". Mariano was friendly. Thanking me for coming,
- but you could barely hear him as his voice was a loud whisper due to his throat surgery
a little over a week ago. I had him
sign my new Yankee poster (which already has David Cone and Yogi Berra). Overall another well run signing by Steiner Sports. I will be going back in January for Cal Ripken and February for Lou Piniella and Dave Winfield.
On a side note, just before Mariano came out, I noticed one of the Steiner Sports reps walking with a familiar face.
Turned out to be former Yankee pitcher Tanyon Sturtze. When I realized who he was he had already passed and I didnt want to leave the line. Tried looking for him after, but didnt see him.
- Would have been a decent extra."
