Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was serious when he said he wants to pitch until he's 45.

As the team celebrated their World Series title on Wednesday night, Rivera said on FOX that despite considering retirement, he wants to pitch for five more years.

"I'm serious," Rivera told the New York Times. "I hope the organization does whatever it takes to bring me back. I know I have another year under my contract, and then whatever happens happens."

Rivera converted 44 saves in 46 chances in 2009.

"There's nothing Mariano can't do," Alex Rodriguez said. "He's basically a superman."
