Mariano Rivera was emphatic about his desire to pitch in the new Yankee Stadium in 2009. "I would love to pitch in the new Stadium," Rivera said before last night's game against the Orioles at the Stadium. "I could retire after that." Since Rivera's 2007 option for $10.5 million recently vested, he is a signed player for next season. That means he needs two more years in pinstripes to pitch in the new park. "Maybe after the season, we will see what comes up," Rivera said about an extension that would take him through the 2009 season.
