  1. I want to talk about the part when Mariano Rivera's first playoff appearance consisted of three and one-third innings of clutch scoreless relief, making the legend Ken Griffey Jr to fly out. I thought that this was a very important part in Mariano Rivera's career because it was his first playoff appearance and it is the first look at him being clutch. What do you think? I also believe that this was the most interesting part of the book so far. I think this because this part is intense, detailed, it's his first time in the playoffs, and the first taste of Rivera being clutch. Do you agree or disagree.

  2. I want to talk about the part where Mariano's experience in the Minors. I thought he had a great experience in the minors. What do you think? The part that I thought was most interesting so far was when he had a no hitter against the Gulf Coast Pirates. I think that Mariano played really good in the minors. What do you think? Mariano also had a 0.17 ERA in his first season In the minors.

    1. Mariano was very good in the minors, and I think that the no hitter was pretty impressive. And his era was like mind blowing good.
