Rivera produced one of the most prominent aspects of the Oldtimers Day game on Saturday when he arrived in Bat and hit a single from former teammate and companion legend of the Yankees Andy Pettite.
Saturday’s veterans day commemorated the victory of the World Series 2000 of the Yankees over the rival of Crosstown New York Mets. Rivera, Clemens and Pettite were key players in that team.
Rivera became the first and only player to be chosen for the Baseball Hall of Baseball unanimously when it was included in 2019.
