Red Sox Tribute to Mariano Rivera (The Sandman) 9/15/13

[@pokiethechicken]

I am a Yankee fan and THIS is the classiest thing I have seen in baseball. Cheers to the Red Sox and their fans

[@MikeyBrody]

I'm a Yankees fan born and raised and have the typical hatred for the Red Sox. But this is the perfect example of class and respect from the Red sox organization. Thank you for the video and thank you Mo!

[@DKfan87]

As a Red Sox fan, Rivera and Jeter are and were the only two players I respect. I tip my hat off to the both of them in respect.

[@VladAclipse]

I'm a Boston native and a Red Sox fan, but this is a very well-deserved tribute to a stellar closer and a true professional. God bless Mariano Rivera.

[@brandonn.4320]

I love it when rivalries are set aside to honor someone who truly respected the sport, as it did for him. Red Sox Nation, you guys have my respect as a team, as you always have. Sincerely, A Yankee fan

[@jonstefanik9400]

Jeter's next. That's gonna be huge at Fenway Park. Sincerely, Red Sox Nation

[@njerzee911]

definitely thanks for posting. missed this when it was live; as a Yankee fan living in New England, good to see how classy the Red Sox Organization truly is.

[@joem4827]

I am a lifelong Red Sox fan and I have to say Mariano Rivera is the greatest closer and a class act hall of famer!

[@allencollins6031]

Dustin Pedroia and Tim Wakefield for this Yankee fan.

[@nealp19078]

I attended this contest in honor of Mariano. The Red Sox did an awesome job! It was odd seeing Fenway Park quiet before a NYY/BOS game. Awesome!

[@TheJaegerbomb101]

some things are bigger than a rivalry no matter how heated it has gotten...those moments are just something special

[@ouyrwq]

I am a pure National League fan. This represents the best of baseball. Class.

[@MattyYouthGoon]

This is too awesome man. I absolutely hated seeing Mo come out of the bullpen, because I knew that we had to be extraordinary to try and even touch the ball. Still can't stand the Yankees, like they can't stand us, but this honor to a great man and ball player is MOST deserved. Mo was a tyrant on the mound. Mo owned the mound. And he did it with the utmost of class. Honestly couldn't even picture him without the blue pinstripes. Thanks for posting David. Had tears in my eyes.

[@tomada36]

As a Yankees fan since becoming baseball-aware at the age of 8 in 1974, I saw some amazing Red Sox players over the years. I think that Carlton Fisk was one of the greatest catchers of all time, Jim Rice was the most fearsome hitter in his generation, and Carl Yazstremski is one of the greatest and classiest players of all time

[@kylelever8626]

It was always terrible being a Red Sox fan watching him run onto the field. It was like watching a Yankees win trot out to the mound. You must always respect greatness and he was nothing shy of that. Derek Jeter is also a player that even Red Sox nation will remember and appreciate. At the end of the day it’s just a sport, but there’s nothing better then a fierce rival and great competition. Thank you New York for being both for all these years. Underneath the masshole attitude and there is compassion even for our rivals.

[@markswagz1537]

Man Talk About a Classy Send off WOW!!! Even the Owners and Mgt came down to Honor such a Wonderful Person/Player im a Yankee fan and Dam Red Sox Nation this Put the Red Sox in a different Perspective in my eyes..Thanks for Posting and Thanks for the send off to one of the Worlds Greatest Players in Yankee History....

[@brettrhyno255]

I am a Yankee fan and how intense our rivalry is with the Red Sox think that was truly classy that they did something like that for Mo. Trust me when you go to one of these Red Sox , Yankees games the fans just don't like eachother. Truly am honored to have a rivalry with such a classy organization.

[@Slikrik1212]

That 2005 opening day moment was the day I became a Mariano Rivera fan. It truly DID forever make him a favorite among us Redsox fans. To acknowledge that mock cheer with a tip of his hat and huge smile on his face, how can you not love that reaction??..... The sportsmanship, the class,.... just remarkable. He'll be missed.

[@jonstefanik9400]

I am a Red Sox fan and I am certain I will cry when Jeter plays his last game at Fenway. All those years of him ruining my day will come to an end and the end of a beloved, heated rivalry. God Bless Derek Jeter.

[@JohnnysChingaderas]

This is awesome had no clue they did this for Rivera

[@jonstefanik9400]

every major league team in every city he played in that season gave him something before the game but this was the best.

[@fanof88ups]

called RESPECT for a great player.

[@ExclusiveLM]

Stay Classy Boston. Sincerely, New York Yankee and part time Anchor Ron Burgundy.

[@Joemar4]

Great to see this tribute again. Nice to put the rivalry aside and honor those worthy of honoring. Very classy Red Sox Nation! This Yankee fan thanks you!

[@JUANPEREZ251]

The greatness of this kind of player is above any jersey.

[@emm28bee]

Very nice touch Boston! -A Yankee Fan

[@dmaxwell2808]

Thanks for recording and posting this!

[@GSirico]

2004 Boston Red Sox: to be the best ... you have to beat the best. And they did. Congrats from a Yankee fan.

[@Smokin438]

+Greg Sirico Cheers mate, Red Sox fan here and I have to say the Yankees were class act's at that time, they were hard to hate and scary to play against.

[@crunchshark87]

I can't tell you how many times I've ran into Rivera at Lavo in NYC. He always sends bottles to everyone around him and always is so happy. A great human being truly raised the right way.

[@Jeromus1970]

Very classy. I have to say, the Boston teams know how to honor their great rivals. This reminds me of the Celtics giving Magic a piece of the parquet floor from the Garden.

[@tomada36]

I'm a lifelong Yankees fan, but this shows how the Boston Red Sox organization is a class act.

[@jonstefanik9400]

and vice versa. When we had the bombing the Yankees play our song, "Sweet Caroline".

[@franky5325]

Thanks for sharing this vid! Awesome!

[@gabrielkelly2631]

I remember this it was my first red soxs game

[@mattyflair]

great thing to do from the Red Sox, to probably the greatest closer of our lifetime. thanks Rivera for giving us a great times during your seasons as a Yankee

[@eddieq2189]

[@IM2GOODBRODOESMC]

I have looked up too Mariano ravara not as a player but a person bc he was amazing

[@seanfelder8166]

Nice honor of Boston Red Sox honoring Mariano Rivera

[@danielhodgkinson2289]

This man will be enshrined with the "Kings of baseball" but when it comes to class, he will stand alone. So long Mo.

[@ericm.3791]

This whole event is all class to honor a retiring yankee. Nothing says this more than presenting him the 42 out of the scoreboard.

[@survivalmode7032]

Class of 2019 hall of fame

[@speck1311]

good job Sox! from a yankee fan!

[@jznotjayz713]

as a yankeefan some players transcend rivalries. you don't have to like them but you respect them. i think the yankeeswere class after the boston marathon bombing (sweet caroline) and gave david ortiz a nice tribute

[@brmillgr]

Boston is still alive!!

[@Twista1016]

Lovely...

[@GwaltneyRaceCoverage]

Greatest. Closer. Ever.

[@rpags226]

[@AlexSanchez-uw9eq]

Mariano fue un tipo siempre respectuoso profesional jamas falto respeto a ningun jugador

[@mkam11]

Classy Red Sox Nation

[@OTeej]

I was in the front row

[@chrisnoll1777]

davidsco that's cool how you can snap pics while video taping

[@davidscott3396]

The camera allows it. Canon

[@strker99]

Pretty much any Camera can do that, if you have a smart phone you can do it too.

[@MegaCaptain54]

great job, mo. as much as I respect your long and storied career, I don't think it was the red sox job to send you off. the ovation was nice and certainly well deserved. but that being said, you are, and will always be a yankee. they're the ones who really ought to send you out in style. take care baby. the game will miss you.

[@megavega4]

Every city gave him a send-off that's how you respect a legend

[@davidsco27]

I was, section 17, Row 10

[@wrljungren]

how did he get number 42 that number is retired

[@landreydoyle2529]

He was wearing it before they retired it and baseball let anyone who had the number before it was retired wear it until the player retired

[@WazaNow]

IF U WERE AT THE GAME I WAS SITTING ONLY A COUPLE ROWS BACK FROM U.

[@LordoftheSwans1223]

I hate the Red Sox but this is respect.

[@drewchenoweth5507]

horrible cam work, a lil piece of advice, dont try and get pics while taking a video

[@davidsco27]

Thanks, mom. Ya know, I was just sitting here waiting for YOUR advice. How DID i get by? #fail

[@ronaldmcreynolds7345]

+davidsco That's funny.

[@yankfan119]

I'm getting seasick.

[@vatolocoehh9496]

I hope any team can do the same for Derek Jeter!!

[@jonstefanik9400]

they have been doing so

[@jMattMorians]

Io c'ero!

[@thatdude1638]

:15 "who?" lol

[@kicksapien1335]

That mustve been awkward for him

[@gdub713]

I hate the red sox with all my being, but on this day, I hated them just a little less!!! good for the red sox, this one time!!!

[@deanfender7965]

STILL HATE THE REDSOXS !
