Rivera named DHL Delivery Man of Year
Award recognizes most outstanding relief pitcher of season
NEW YORK -- Mariano Rivera may be picking up his first career
Cy Young Award next month, but the Yankees' closer earned
another honor on Thursday, when he was named the inaugural
recipient of the DHL Delivery Man of the Year Award.
Rivera, in his ninth season as the Yankees' closer, finished with
43 saves (fourth in the Majors), a 1.38 ERA and 80 strikeouts in
78 1/3 innings pitched. He allowed just 50 hits and 18 walks,
posting a 0.87 WHIP and a .177 opponents' batting average.
After blowing his first two save opportunities of the season --
against the Red Sox, no less -- Rivera converted his next 31
chances from April 9 through Aug. 11.
"I didn't put any emphasis on the way I started; the season
wasn't going to be based on that," Rivera said last month.
"People started doubting me, but I don't pay attention to that.
I know what I can do, I know who I am and what I'm capable of.
I knew the season wasn't going to be like those two games.
You can't judge a player on the first two games."
Rivera said that he didn't use his early-season struggles as
motivation. He simply put everyone's doubts behind him in the
same manner in which he disposes of a blown save.
"I don't work like that," Rivera said. "I know what I'm capable of
doing, so I'm not out to prove people wrong. It was just a matter
of time. I wasn't worried at all."
"The number of years he's pitched so effectively is ridiculous,"
said manager Joe Torre. "It's still brand new for him. To me,
that's all about what's important. I'm sure he's excited that it's
still important. It's not a job for him. It's a profession, but there
are other people who rely on him."
Rivera received 39,964 of the votes cast, almost 125,000 overall.
His 33 percent of the overall vote pushed him ahead of the other
nine finalists: Washington's Chad Cordero; Houston's Brad
Lidge; San Diego's Trevor Hoffman; Minnesota's Joe Nathan;
Chicago's Dustin Hermanson and Cliff Politte; St. Louis' Jason
Isringhausen; Boston's Mike Timlin; and Seattle's Eddie
Guardado.
In recognition of this honor, DHL will donate $5,000 in Rivera's
name to a local chapter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America,
the official charity of Major League Baseball. In addition, Rivera
will be recognized in a special advertisement appearing in
Friday's USA Today.
The nominees were selected by a Major League Baseball
"yellow ribbon" panel that includes Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis
Eckersley; Darryl Hamilton, former Major League outfielder and
MLB Radio host; Jerome Holtzman, the official MLB historian
and a member of the writer's wing of the Hall of Fame; Rick
Sutcliffe, 1984 NL Cy Young Award winner, ESPN and MLB
International broadcaster; and Bob Watson, MLB's vice
president of on-field operations.
