Rivera Vows To Come Back Next Season for 2013
Ok so everyone thought the Mo’s career was over with his injury this week. Everyone except Rivera, he said “I’m coming back. Write it down in big letters. I’m not going out like this, I love to play the game. To me, I don’t think going out like this is the right way, I don’t think like that. With the strength of the Lord, I just have to continue. The 12-time All-Star promised he will return to the field by 2012, even thought he hinted in spring training that this season may be his last. He said he reflected on the injury in his hotel run and came up with the decision early Friday morning. Rivera tore his ACL and damaged his meniscus when his cleat got caught up in the grass in the outfield before the season opener against Kansas City. During the game MRI’s were taken and revealed the extent of the injury, Riverea shed a few tear when he spoke in the clubhouse Thursday night. He wasn’t sure if he would be able to bounce back. But never the less he was certain of it in less then 24 hours. The future Hall-of-Famer said “Miracles happen, I’m a positive man. The only thing is that i feel sorry i let down my team mates. Besides that I’m OK.”
