If anyone lived a long life, it's Zimmer. And if anyone lived a good life, it was Zimmer. And he'd be the first to tell you, while you rub his head.
For 66 years, Zimmer was a most popular presence at ballparks all over, a huge chaw often filling his cheek. Everyone in the game seemed to know him, and love him.
Mariano Rivera, the pitcher nonpareil, chatted with Mike Francesa on Wednesday afternoon, looking as spry and sounding as pious as ever. And so it's time to tip a final cap.

John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman could be heard during Wednesday night's Mariners-Yankees game on WFAN talking about the Four Seasons' hit, "December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)."

"That's the next goal, buddy," the five-time World Series champion said. "Calling the shots, not answering to someone, that's what interests me. I'd like to think I would be a good one."
When right, few are better than Mark Teixeira. Problem is, Tex isn't right. In fact, the words coming out of his mouth this weekend were downright ominous.
