After retiring from the MLB, Rivera became the lead pastor of the Refuge of Hope Church, where his wife is said to be in charge of the day-to-day operations.

NEW YORK — Yankees Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera and his wife, Clara, are accused of covering up the sexual abuse of a minor at their church and in their home, according to a lawsuit filed in New York.

Ichiro Suzuki was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday, but was one vote shy of being unanimous. This questions the integrity of the voting process.

Other bits of intrigue ahead of Tuesday's 6 p.m. announcement: Will CC Sabathia be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and is this the year Billy Wagner gets in?

CC Sabathia officially became the latest longtime Yankee to reach the Baseball Hall of Fame when the voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America was announced Tuesday night, sending Sabathia to Cooperstown along with Ichiro Suzuki and former Mets reliever Billy Wagner.

It’s time once again for Baseball Hall of Fame voting to be revealed, and it seems like it’s a lock — and deservedly so — that Ichiro Suzuki will be headed to Cooperstown. But will he be written in to every ballot by all the voting members of the BBWAA? On paper, he absolutely should be a no-doubt, first-ballot, unanimous selection.

The bar has been set outrageously high. When it comes to the New York Yankees, being a closer means being compared to the best closer in the game's history: Mariano Rivera. So Devin Williams will come into the Bronx and be well aware of the expectations when he takes the ball to close out games for the Yankees.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Ichiro was never a very powerful hitter, knocking just 117 home runs in his 19 MLB seasons. But he was elite at hitting for average, recording at least 200 hits in 10 different seasons. With that being said, can you name every player to achieve this feat at least four times in MLB history?

According to a lawsuit, the New York Daily News has uncovered allegations linking Yankees closer Mariano Rivera and his wife Clara to a cover-up of sexual abuse of a minor.

Ichiro Suzuki's career was full of hitting streaks, All-Star Games and Gold Glove awards. But all that paled compared to moments with fans like his farewell at the Tokyo Dome in 2019, he said.
