Very nice article about Rivera, which actually removes itself some of the overhyped yanks/sox crap. There's also some comparison to how the beginning of Rivera's decline is coinciding with David Ortiz's decline.

That juxtaposition reminded me (hold on while I get my NERD glasses on) of a story from a Star Wars book I read a while back (Tales of the Bounty Hunters, FYI) where Boba Fett and Han Solo are old men, and still fighting each other. Though they're enemies, they have a good deal of respect for each other, and this reminded me of some of those epic Rivera/Ortiz AB's. Anyway...
