Normally I don't say anything good about the Yankees, but I have to say that I think it's really cool that Mariano Rivera became the first pitcher to throw in 1,000 games for the same team.
I like this record because it demonstrates several great things.
One of those is loyalty. So often players leave teams (although no team can afford to pay Rivera more than the only team he's ever played with, the Yankees) in today's game. So often they demand trades or become malcontents that have to be traded.
Two is that you have to be reliable and not get the injury bug often.
Three goes with being reliable and that is that you have to be good. You don't throw in 1,000 games unless you are a really good pitcher.
