According to NY Daily News, the Cleveland Indians honored Mariano Rivera with a framed gold record of METALLICA's 'Enter Sandman', the song that has signified his arrival in games at Yankee Stadium for nearly two decades.
“I’ve got a gold record, brother,” Rivera said. “Without even singing, I have a gold record.”
The presentation was made by Indians team president Mark Shapiro and Greg Harris, president of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It was the latest in what figures to be a season-long procession of ceremonies honoring the all-time saves leader as he prepares to hang up his spikes at the end of the season.
“I think it was well-done,” Rivera said. “Whoever thought of the idea of giving me a gold record with the song ‘Sandman,’ it was great. I appreciate that and I know it will have a special place in my house.”Read more at the NY Daily News.
