Just a lapse in logic. The season outcomes may or may not have been the same, but your reliance on pure stats is funny. Mariano wasn't on the Mets, so there's no way to know what coulda/woulda/shoulda happened. It is all theoretical, as my thoughts on his probable positive impact are. But again, WE WERE ALIVE ACTUALLY WATCHING THE GAMES HE WAS IN, and saw what Rivera brought to the table. Just hearing "Enter Sandman" come on, you knew the game was virtually over. Reading black and white numbers on a page doesn't include what impact he would have had on the team as a whole.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
