Tampa Bay Rays (August 23) - Sand sculpture of Rivera alongside the words "Enter Sandman" and a donation to Rivera's foundation.
The Rays created an ungodly creation that was supposed to look like Rivera, but it looks like a terrifying Olmec instead. Mo left the sand sculpture behind because he knew how bad it really was.
No one is going to beat a chair made out of bats that Mariano Rivera broke. Just think how long it must have taken to make this. How long were they keeping those bats?
A gold record from the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame with Mo's entrance music. That's pretty awesome and very appropriate.
While Mo needs a statue of his own likeness, a broken bat is a close second.
Retiring Mo's number while he's still playing is definitely worthy of No. 1 on the list, but giving a gift that was just a lamer copy of another kind of ruins it all a bit.
Including a scorecard all the way back from 1995 is pretty cool, and the thought of the picture collage is nice, but it is a little depressing.
The painting is pretty nondescript, but the custom guitar was pretty cool.
Giving him dirt from Comerica isn't a big deal, but from old Tiger Stadium? That's some history right there.
It's a fishing pole, but it's a really nice fishing pole. Hell, I like it.
Bicycles for the entire family? That's pretty cool.
The surfboard is pretty cool, but the bottle of wine is a little weird.
Cowboy boots are an ok gift, a little too simple to really be anything memorable, but John Wetteland (and Joe Nathan LOL) gave them to him, so that's pretty cool.
I get the fireman joke, but it seemed more like they were honoring the fire department than Mariano Rivera.
Giving away baseball cards with factoids on Mariano Rivera is pretty cool, but the actual gift was a little lack luster.
It was clearly thought out, but it's not that fun!
Eh, it's nice and all, but nothing special.
The Red Sox basically put on a show that was basically "The Red Sox Honoring Mariano Rivera" and it was a little ridiculous. That could have been the worst gift giving of them all, but they did give him the placard from their scoreboard, which was pretty cool. Everything else was just so they could show off their own players giving him gifts.
They didn't give any fun gifts, but they don't really owe Rivera anything since this was his first time in Coors.
No fun gift and the donation was given by George Brett, who notoriously hated the Yankees during his playing days. Also, the Pine Tar Game, so that's annoying.
I don't like to see teams showing Mo up with their own players, so they lose points for no gift and using a .625 career hitter to present it.
All these teams were nice to give a man who never played for them, and in a lot of instances actually cost them, gifts for no real reason at all. Still, some did better than others.
