Joel Sherman reports that Mariano Rivera will announce his retirement after the 2013 season. The press conference is scheduled for 10am ET at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. We all expected that this was the case and Rivera had mentioned that he would have retired if his injury had not been season ending. I will try to write a longer piece about Mariano Rivera later as i'm sure all Yankees blogs will, but for now lets just comprehend that this will be the last year Mariano Rivera plays for the New York Yankees. I count myself lucky that I have seen the Sandman close and it will be great to see Mariano's farewell tour.
