07/31: Manny Corpas' Idol: Mo

Posted by: Patrick
From The Denver Post:

Growing up in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Panama City, Manny Corpas was able to watch just two major-league teams on television: the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees.

That Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera also hailed from Panama City appealed to Corpas, of course, but there was more to it than that. Corpas found the image of Rivera, staring down opposing batters, then blowing them away, irresistible.
