In this photo taken Sunday, June 28, 2009, New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera swings as he fouls off a pitch during his ninth inning at-bat against New York Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez in the Yankees 4-2 victory over the Mets in New York. Rivera drew a bases-loaded walk for his first career RBI. He followed that act by earning his 500th career save. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
