I'm not really answering your question - I don't think it can really be answered. However, it made me want to mention that playing for one team (even if it was the Yankees) makes Rivera's retirement even more special to me.
His final game in Yankee Stadium will forever be the only time this Mets fan has rooted for the Yankees. I was really hoping he'd get to come in for a save situation. Even without it the Yankees found a way to make it special - with Jeter and Pettite coming out to get him. I watched every second of the send-off a couple games prior. No one in baseball does ceremony like the Yankees. I even popped a bit for Tino Martinez.
