Last night totally awesome, couldn't have asked for anything better especially since Arod was warming the bench.

I took this at spring training before this season. I was down with a group of friends (including another forum member) and we were sitting above the Yankees bullpen.

The security at the Yankees spring training park is awful - they push people around for no real reason, and it's generally an unpleasant place to spend time. However, a crowd started gathering around the bullpen, and the guards were taking their time moving people along. A guy who was with us went down to investigate, and suddenly started waving urgently for me to come down (I had the best camera). I ran down, and there's Rivera warming up. This is my favorite of the pictures I took.

I'm an Orioles fan, and hate the Yankees as much as any self-respecting fan of another AL East team should, but I'll make an exception in this case.

Thanks. The high res version is on Flickr, too. I've thought about printing it and sending it to him to see if he'd sign it, though I suppose I may be too late.

really hope he gets to play Centerfield this weekend!

that would be a cool sendoff.....
especially since he literally spent more time in centerfield over his career than on the mound!
