Mo 42

A while back I wondered why Mariano Rivera entered games to Enter Sandman, and wondered if he even knew who Metallica was. The answer, apparently, is no:
Chrissa asks: Did Mo pick “Enter Sandman” for his song or was it picked for him and stuck? He doesn’t seem like the Metallica type.

You’re right, Chrissa, Mo is very much NOT the Metallica type. It was picked for him and just stuck. Actually, I remember when Metallica singer James Hetfield came to a Yankees-Mets game in 2005 as a guest of Randy Johnson – who is a huge fan of and friendly with the band – and several players were excited to meet him. Rivera, on the other hand, had no idea who he was (though he did chat with Hetfield after being introduced to him just before BP).
