SOUNDBITE: (English) Mariano Rivera, former Yankees pitcher:

"Well what I think about the Yankees bullpen is that they have a tremendous bullpen, they have a great team period. You know, they are doing so good and hopefully they will continue doing the job that they have been doing for all this time. So I hope and pray that they will continue and I always wish them the best."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mariano Rivera, former Yankees pitcher

"I feel great. It's something to me, I mean, it's a dream coming true. It's special for me knowing that I always wanted to come here and I was able to come with my family, my wife and my parents. Amazing, amazing."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mariano Rivera, former Yankees pitcher:

"No, I do not play no more, I can't do that no more. 2013 was my last time. So I mean, I definitely won't be playing anymore."

Q - We still have a place for you...

"No no, no more Baseball leave it for the youngsters. I can teach it but not play it."
