So intolerant and arrogant has the modern left become, it’s now “progressive” to attack Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer of all time, over his “hidden” politics.

He gave us 19 years, 13 All-Star Games, five World Series wins and 652 career saves, making him baseball’s all-time saves leader. He holds the lowest ERA (2.21) in baseball history for 1,000 or more innings pitched.

He’s the first baseball player unanimously inducted into the Hall of Fame, and in his first year on the ballot.

But hours after The Sandman’s induction at Cooperstown, The Daily Beast ran a hit piece on his “far-right politics.”

Robert Silverman’s article whines that Rivera has “served at the pleasure of a racist president, taken part in thinly veiled propaganda on behalf of a far-right government in Israel, and gotten chummy with outright bigots and apocalyptic loons.” And all this should “be inscribed on his Hall of Fame plaque . . . even if much of the sports world would very much like to pretend none of it exists.”

Give. Us. A. Break.

The evidence for his awfulness: “He has traveled to Israel on multiple occasions, possibly beginning in 2013,” and publicly voiced his support for the Jewish state. Oh, and he’s worked with Team Trump to fight against opioid abuse and to endorse physical fitness.

You know, Mariano Rivera yet again offering people more good things, because that’s just how great he is.
