Mariano Rivera Is Now The All-Time Save Leader

Now we can officially call Mariano Rivera the best closer in MLB history. On Monday, Rivera got his 602nd save for his career. He passed Trevor Hoffman who hade 601 saves, he retired after last year. Last week, Rivera became the 2nd person to have 600 save. Before Hoffman and Rivera, there was no one with 500 saves. Lee Smith had the most saves at 478 saves. Rivera also has the most post-season with 42 saves. His 2.22 E.R.A. is higher than any MLB closer in history. His 0.71 E.R.A is highest in MLB Post-season history. He also has finished 881 games which is more than anyone in history. His 0.9983 is 2nd highest in MLB history, he is only behind Addie Joss. Rivera is a 12-time All-Star in his career. With the Yankees he has helped them win 5 World Series and he was the World Series MVP in 1999. He had a win and 2 saves in the World Series. Also in 2003 he was the ALCS MVP. He has won the Relief Man Award five times which is tied for the most with Dan Quisenberry. He has also won the MLB Delivery Man Award three times. The award was first in 2005 and no one has won more than once besides him. Rivera should easily be a Hall of Famer when he retires. Being 41 he could keep pitching until he is 45 and get up to 700 to 750 saves for his career. Yankees should retire Rivera's 42 when he retires. Rivera is the last play to wear 42 in MLB history because in 1997 and since he already had 42 he could keep until he retires. Now one besides him can say he was the last to wear a certain number in their league.

Record Setting Monday Night Football: 9/12/2011

There were 3 records set or tied on Monday Night Football last night. Tom Brady had the first one when he was 32 for 48 and passed for 517 yards vs. Miami. In the same game Wes Welker caught a pass from Brady for 99 yard touchdown. In the Oakland vs. Denver game Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 63 yard field goal at the end of the half.

Tom Brady's 517 Passing Yard Game: We already knew that Tom Brady was a great QB with 2 MVPs, 3 Super Bowls Rings in 4 Super Bowls and 2 Super Bowls MVPs. Tom Brady on Monday became the 10th player in NFL history to throw for 500 yards in a game. 517 Yards is the 4th most ever, only behind Moon, Esiason and Marino. He was the 2nd to have 4+ TDs passes and 500 yards, the only other was Y.A. Tittle. He was the first since Roethlisberger did it in 2009. Brady is a sure fire Hall of Famer when he retires. He did though an Interception the first in 358 passes and first since Week 6 of last year. Also became the 15th QB to have 3000 completions in his career and the 5th QB to do it with 1 team. He isn't even half way to Brett Favre who has 6300 in his career.
Wes Welker's 99 Yard TD: He caught the pass from Tom Brady. He is the 13th player to have a run or catch of 99 yards. 12 are catches and 1 is a run. He has the longest play on offensive you can have since you can't go over 100 unless it is a kick or punt return. Tom Brady loves to throw to Welker, so I won't be surprised if he has a huge year.
Sebastian Janikowski 63 yard field goal: Normally a coach would punt from this distance but after a facemask penalty and it being at the end of the half. Oakland went for it and Janikowski made it pretty easily. The game was in Denver and because of the thin air the ball travels further than normal. Janikowski actually hit a 70 yard field goal in practice before the game. This ties the NFL record, only Tom Dempsey and Jason Elam have had 63 yards field goals and Elam was in Denver has well. Janikowski probably has the 1st or 2nd best power in the game, I wouldn't surprised if he breaks the record in the future.
