重點整理： 1. July 29th Mo解決掉金鶯的Jay Payton後，生涯投球局數正式達到1000局 2. 在投超過1000局的投手中，Mo 的生涯ERA 2.31 排行在第18名。這紀錄很難能可貴，因為 a. 很少有後援投手可以投超過1000局，就算有投這麼多的，也很少人能像他一樣可以一直保持這麼好的ERA b. 前二十名裡的投手，大多都是在Dead Ball Era，所以已經有80年沒有新的投手可以投超過1000局，而且生涯ERA可以被列入前二十名了， Mo是在這80年內，唯一辦到的。 http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080808&content_id=3273268 &vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb Rivera passes 1,000 career innings Yankees closer's 2.31 ERA is among the top 20 in lifetime ERA ARLINGTON -- Mariano Rivera retired Jay Payton of the Orioles on July 29 under typical circumstances. But the Yankees closer made a quiet claim to history. With the out, Rivera hit 1,000 innings pitched for his career, a relatively rare milestone for relievers. And Rivera, as he's apt to do, made a claim to something ever rarer. Among those Major Leaguers with at least 1,000 innings pitched, Rivera is the first in 80 years to rank among the top 20 in lifetime ERA. His 2.31 mark is good for 18th all time, and is tops among those who spent the majority of their careers as relievers. Rivera considered the feat before Tuesday's game and his eyes grew wide. "I did that?" he asked. He was told he did. "I didn't even know," he said. Yet the gravity of the feat was not lost on Rivera. Calling him one of the greatest pitchers of his era is a given, and dubbing him one of the finest relievers of all-time goes without question. And with 1,000 innings now to his credit, Rivera's stat sheet certainly does stack up curiously to those from different generations. In comparing Rivera to those pitchers, there are two things to consider. One is the fact that every higher-ranking pitcher on the ERA leader board was a starter, making it more difficult to maintain such a level of success. Playing at a time when complete games were the norm, men such as Ed Walsh and Addie Joss and Walter Johnson endured far heavier workloads than Rivera, who rarely throws more than an inning per game. Yet in contrast, most of those baseball legends pitched in the dead ball era, when offensive statistics were drastically dampened. Rivera pitched in the 1990s and 2000s, when home runs flew out of ballparks at record rates. And he did most of it with just one pitch. "It's hard to put into words, but that's what makes him special," former Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "Although, he has modified that pitch over the years. He has added variations of it, changing his grip and making it move differently to left-handers than right-handers. But it's all fastballs. And he's a skinny kid who's lasted this long. He's wiry. But the ball jumps out of his hand." Rivera will never challenge Walsh, the all-time ERA leader with a 1.82 mark. But he will likely retire as the leader among relievers, a feat that underscores his unparalleled success. Not that Rivera is concerned with statistics. "I'm not about that," Rivera said. "I'm about players that want to win, and want to help the team as much as possible. When things come like that, I just let it happen." Anthony DiComo is a reporter for MLB.com.
