Kat O'Brien spoke with Mo, discussing his first impressions of Yankee Stadium.
Rivera remembers his first impressions of Yankee Stadium, and how much he wanted to soak up its aura: "It was beautiful. I used to come out every Sunday, every Sunday morning, when nobody was there." ...
"I would just sit in the bullpen, sit in the dugout and try to picture those guys," Rivera said. "I would picture Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, all those great players. I would imagine that. It's amazing, (being) in the same dugout, on the same field. Amazing ... It's special when you march on the same field that these guys marched, that these guys played on. The legacy that they leave, it's amazing."
The article also contains quotes from Jorge Posada, Mike Mussina and Joe Girardi, sharing some thoughts on Rivera.
