Metallica Honor Mariano Rivera

Photo Credit: Erick Lopez / PR PhotosMariano Rivera got a special message from Metallica when being interviewed by MLB Network about his election to baseball’s Hall of Fame. The band, who were in Birmingham, Alabama for a show last night, sent a video congratulating the New York Yankees reliever on being the first player to be unanimously voted in by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Metallica felt a connection to Rivera as the Yankees used enter Sandman each time he made his way to the mound from the bullpen. In case you hadn’t heard, Rivera is NOT a fan of the band, stating he doesn’t listen to them or “that kind of music” because he is a Christian. The tune was chosen by a member of the Yankees organization.
