In fact, he thought that he would follow his father into the fishing industry. After he replaced a poorly-performing pitcher during an amateur baseball game, the Yankees scout saw his talent. Mariano Rivera would go on to become a thirteen-time All-Star and five-time World Series champion. He holds two MLB records and has won many other awards. H is a favorite for induction into the Hall of Fame. Derek Jeter called Mariano the most mentally tough teammate hed ever played with. Rivera easily rose to being a team leader and helping the team recover from losses with dignity, and celebrate wins with humility. When once asked to describe his job, Mariano simply stated, I get the ball, I throw the ball, and then I take a shower. Since retiring, Mariano has devoted himself to philanthropy and his churches. He and his wife Clara sponsor college scholarships, a foundation to provide underprivileged children with educations, and various other projects."-- cover page 4. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 112-113) and index. 600 10 $a Rivera, Mariano, $d 1969- $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Relief pitchers (Baseball) $x Biography $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Baseball players $z United States $x Biography $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Deignan, Colleen $c (Artist), $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Iber, Raquel $c (Writer), $e author. 830 0 $a All about series (Blue River Press) 941 $a 1 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323011641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B506158E376411EA861B1F3A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
