A10 SPORTS East Oregonian Friday, July 19, 2019 Yankee closer awaits his place in Hall of Fame By JOHN KEKIS Associated Press COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — It never changed for Mari- ano Rivera — from his child- hood in the fishing village of Puerto Caimito in Panama to the pitcher’s mound at Yan- kee Stadium. “I always wanted to be the last guy to kick the ball or took the last shot at the bas- ket. Give me the ball,” Rivera said. “I wanted to contrib- ute to this victory. I wanted to help my team do whatever it took to win, and it worked many times.” With that mindset came greatness. A lightly regarded pitcher when signed as an amateur free agent with the New York Yankees in 1990, Rivera struggled as a starter but found his niche as a reliever with a dev- astating cut fastball. The Yan- kees won seven pen- nants and five World Rivera Series with Rivera in the bullpen. His major league record of 652 saves was his ticket to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Not for nothing was nicknamed Sandman, after the Metallica song “Enter Sandman” that boomed across Yankee Sta- dium whenever he headed to the mound, ready to silence bats. His greatness on the mound and his humble spirit — win or lose — helped Rivera achieve another mile- stone. He’s the only player in history to be elected unan- imously, receiving all 425 votes in the January balloting. “I feel humbled that I was the one that the Lord blessed,” said the 49-year-old Rivera, who will be inducted Sunday. “It won’t change my life, but it’s something that you know that you were the first one. That is special.” Rivera joins Rod Carew as the only Panamanians elected to the Hall of Fame. He heads a class that also includes pitchers Mike Mus- sina, Lee Smith and the late Roy Halladay, and desig- nated hitters Edgar Martinez and Harold Baines.

That’s what ultimately got us the win.” By the sixth inning, South Beaverton had threatened another tie, bringing the score up to 8-7. But Alanah Eagleheart kept Pendleton out front with a hard line drive into center field, good enough for a double and an RBI. Eagleheart struck out two batters in the bottom of and their defense was right there behind them to help.” Cambria VanNice, Medrano, and Primus each scored two runs to lead Pendleton to the state title. “It was a total team effort,” coach VanNice said. “Everyone contrib- uted. This paves the way for them when they get older. They’ll make a run at the 12U state title when it’s their turn. The future is bright for these young girls.” the inning, and a groundout kept South Beaverton away from home, earning Pend- leton their second consecu- tive state title.
