Letter to the Editor: Give this man a drink

Dear Editors,


Sitting recently at a local pub, my beloved New York Yankees came up in conversation. The bartender was irate over Mariano Rivera's $15 million salary.

His complaint centered on the fact that Mo makes about 60 one-inning appearances a year, which breaks down to about $250,000 an outing.

I told him he was in the wrong line of work. He should have been a closer instead of an opener. Go Yankees.
