Talk Of Renaming River Avenue to Rivera Avenue

It may not be as big as naming an award for relievers after Mariano Rivera, as I've advocated for years, but it's still pretty cool...

A lot of people, including some of Rivera's own teammates, are pushing for River Avenue to be renamed Rivera Avenue. The road is famous, not only because of the Yankees blog named after it, but because it runs along Yankee Stadium beyond right field.

When asked what he thought of the idea, Mariano had this to say...

That would be nice. It's not my decision. I drive on that road every night.
