BEST GIFT TO MARIANO EVER!

I'm all about being witty, keeping things light and having a sense of humor.   So, throughout the Mariano Rivera Farewell tour this year, Mo has been given alot of parting gifts by different teams.  By far, my favorite one has to be what was presented by the Minnesota Twins... a rocking chair made of broken bats from the Twins over the years. Classic!  Funny right?

According to the Star Tribune HERE, "The Twins gave Rivera a rocking chair made in part from broken bats with the inscription, 'Chair of Broken Dreams.' The presentation was made in a pregame ceremony honoring Rivera's final season. Rivera plans to retire after this year.

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire says some of the bats used to build the chair were broken by Rivera himself.

Gardenhire told Rivera that 'we call this the chair of broken dreams, and you broke most of them.'

Rivera smiled widely when he saw the chair and gave Gardenhire a hearty handshake to thank him."

Just wanted to share this.  Really, it's a terrific gift.  Damn I'm gonna miss Mo.
