Baseball fans got a very rare treat Sunday night when New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera came up to bat for just the third time in his career – against New York Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez, no less. The Yankees were up 3-2 with the bases loaded and two out in the top of the ninth. Rivera had come out of the bullpen in the previous inning, and wasn’t going to be pulled for a pinch-hitter.
