LOL wow Goose Gossage is an asshole. He did an interview with a NY Post and declared that Rivera is not the best closer of all time, he was. His reason? He's had 53 7-out saves in his career, while Rivera and Trevor Hoffman have had two. What a retard. Goose was obviously a great closer but I don't think anybody could ever make a logical argument for Rivera not being the best.

He also called K-Rod a clown for celebrating his saves, which again, is bullshit. I'll never understand why every pitcher in baseball that celebrates after a win, save, strikeout, etc. gets shat on yet hitters can grandstand all they want and dogpile on each other after walkoffs without criticism.

To be fair, he is sort of correct in the sense that back in his day a closer was seen as a 2-3 inning type pitcher unlike last 10ish years where you could get by with a 1-3 out person as a successful closer.

Rivera is easily the best closer during the Steroid Era since that era was all about bringing in more power for batting. For Rivera to have saved all those games and keep his ERA low easily makes him one of the best of all time.

Well K-rod does seem to go a little overboard at celebrating when he gets a save. I mean celebrating is one thing but he does seem to go just a bit overboard in it.
