Tyler Kepner at the Times has an article on Mariano's continued dominance.
He has taken the mound for the Yankees 242 more times than any other pitcher in the team’s history. He is 37 years old, a 13-year veteran who has pitched the equivalent of another season and a half in October.
Yet the annual guessing game about Mariano Rivera finally losing it has become as hackneyed as a joke about airline peanuts. As the Yankees begin a three-game series with the Indians on Friday at Jacobs Field, their most indispensable player is as dominant as ever.
