It was April of 2005, and followed his two blown saves in the 2004 ALCS (yes, Tank, there is a Santa Claus). The Yankees were there for the Sox home opener, when they got their WS rings (you know from the 2004 season, featuring the 2004 ALCS) - and when the Yankees were all introduced (as part of Opening Day ceremonies), Rivera was cheered loudly. He smiled, laughed, and tipped his cap to the audience. Classy move... by a guy who most certainly wasn't done. I'll believe Rivera's dominance is over when he retires. Otherwise, borrowing from Mark Twain, I'll presume the rumors of his demise are indeed premature.

I’ll believe Rivera’s dominance is over when he retires. Otherwise, borrowing from Mark Twain, I’ll presume the rumors of his demise are indeed premature.
