Mariano Rivera: "I'm Not Going Out Like This"

Mariano Rivera told reporters today that his recent knee injury would not mark the end of his career, according to the Yankees’ official Twitter account.

The legendary New York Yankees closer tore his ACL while shagging fly balls during batting practice prior to yesterday’s game. The injury is expected to end Rivera’s season, and many had previously speculated that it would bring an end to his historic 18-year-career.
