Mariano Rivera Receives Presidential Medal of Freedom

It's another award in the amazing life of Mariano Rivera.

His 19-year career was highlighted by 13 All-Star appearances, handfuls of Cy Young and MVP votes, retiring as MLB's Career Saves leader, MLB's Games Finished leader, and MLB's ERA+ leader...and oh yeah, five World Series rings and the first unanimous Hall of Fame inductee.

Yesterday, Rivera received the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
