Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Mariano Rivera said he was amused by the supposed video proof that he had spit on the baseball, so much so that he offered to buy dinner for all the media in attendance if anything otherwise was proven."If we find a different angle, you will see spit is not on the ball," Rivera said before Game 4 of the American League Championship Series on Tuesday afternoon. "And if you [find something else], I'll take you to dinner anywhere in the world. If not, then all of you take me to dinner anywhere I want."
Rivera said no one from Major League Baseball talked to him about the allegations before he was cleared. The allegation sprung from a YouTube video that shows Rivera spitting in the direction of the baseball.
"I laugh at those things," said Rivera, who actually had to briefly excuse himself during the interview to spit. "I don't do those things ... If someone followed my career for all those years, I have to have a lot of spit for all those years."
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he had not even been aware of the YouTube video until a reporter asked him about it on Tuesday afternoon.
"There are certainly some guys that might be suspect, never Mariano with anything that I've heard or been part of," Scioscia said. "And I'd be shocked if there was anything to that."Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he was also amused by the story.
"I kind of laughed," Girardi said. "Mo's been throwing one pitch for a long time. I happened to catch him. He was accused of throwing a spitter. The one thing about a spitter it consistently does not go one way like Mo's ball consistently goes one way. So I kind of laughed at it."
