On Friday,
Mariano Rivera was the honored guest at the
seventh annual Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation Gala. The press was on hand and
MLB.com's Bryan Hoch has a report.
"He's a Hall of Fame pitcher, but he's also a Hall of Fame person," Torre said of Rivera. "He's a great role model for these youngsters. He hasn't changed one bit from the first day I met him. I can't be more proud."
Said Rivera: "It feels great. I have tremendous respect for Mr. Torre and the Safe at Home foundation has done tremendous. They picked me to be the honoree tonight and I can't be more flattered."
