Rivera doing it right



No surprise, but the classy Mariano Rivera, the Yankees closer extraordinaire, has handled his shoulder surgery the way a professional should. Rather than, hemming and hawing, and waiting through half the off-season, Rivera got it taken care of right away. We are always reading about players who deliberated for months before finally electing to have surgery, only to miss substantial chunks of the following season. Not Rivera, he is scheduled to begin throwing in January and should be ready for spring training.
