Ms. Oglivie adds:

Shout out to Mariano Rivera who was taking a picture with a group of students including my son when I shouted to him: "Somos Panamenios!" Mariano: "Oh wow! Es Verdad? Me: "Si! Soy la sobrina de Ben Oglivie (Left Field, champ batter and All Star from the Milwaukee Brewers) y mi mama era de Colon" His bodyguards started to pull him away from all the people pulling on him and he says: "Wait! Let me take a picture with my guy (referring to Jamil)" then he gestured me into the pic. Great great guy! Que viva Panama!

and:

I am a proud Child School Legacy High School parent! Changed my son's life! His name is Jamil Fuller

Thank you Mariano Rivera for all the great memories you have given Yankee fans and Baseball fans while always showing dignity and professionalism.

So, thanks Mo, from the Roosevelt Island Tram.



Here's Mariano's final appearance tonight at Yankee Stadium as Andy Petite and Derek Jeter come to take him out of the game to thunderous applause by the crowd. A very emotional moment for Yankee fans.
