As Mariano Rivera prepares to retire, the closer's farewell tour has become a central subplot to the season. Major League Baseball's all-time saves leader has been greeted warmly in each of his road stops, and the Yankees are planning a ceremony of their own to honor Rivera's illustrious career in September.
Rivera will be the last active player to regularly wear uniform No. 42, with the number having been retired throughout MLB in 1997 to honor the achievements of barrier-breaking great Jackie Robinson. During his 19-year big league career, Rivera has also chiseled his own mark on the number's legacy. In honor of Rivera and his contributions, MLB.com is commemorating 42 notable moments from Rivera's career -- the 42 Days of Mo.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest teams of all-time, the 1998 Yankees weren't tested much. They had the American League East all but wrapped up by the All-Star break, and they cruised through the AL Division Series, surrendering one run in three games to a Rangers club with baseball's No. 2-ranked offense.
But ask any player on that '98 roster when the club felt the most adversity, and they'll tell you the AL Championship Series against the Cleveland Indians offered the first taste of hardship.
