Congrats to Tim Wakefield and Mariano Rivera

I understand that this is a day late, but I figured better late than never.  So Tuesday night Tim Wakefield won his 200th career game as a pitcher and just hours later, Mariano Rivera became the second pitcher in MLB history to save 600 games.
Wakefield's 200th career win may not seem like a lot in comparison to the all-time greats, but when you add in that he is a pure knuckleball pitcher, 200 wins might as well seem like 300 for someone like himself.  On any given night, a knuckleballer can be completely unhittable, or the complete opposite.  Early in his career, he was the former, making hitters look foolish, with the ball dancing around the strike zone and hitters diving out of the way of a ball that started at their head, only to wind up having it drop in for a strike.  Recently though, Wakefield hasn't been as dominant, with his age (45) catching up to him.  But, with the Red Sox in the midst of a playoff push and their pitching staff dropping like flies, Wakefield has constantly toed the rubber, hoping to get his team a win.

Using one pitch, the knuckleball, Wakefield has managed to sustain a career well into his 40s

Many believe that Wakefield may be one of the last two or three pure knuckleballers in the game, with only one other notable knuckleballer pitching in the bigs, R.A. Dickey.  So congrats to Tim Wakefield on a tremendous feat and fantastic career.
Only mere hours after Wakefield's teammates popped the champagne on his milestone, across the country the Red Sox's rivals, the Yankees, celebrated one of their own milestones.  Closer Mariano Rivera became only the second pitcher to achieve 600 career saves, only one behind all-time leader Trevor Hoffman for most all-time.  Rivera has been a cornerstone in the Yankees bullpen, becoming one of the "Core Four" of him, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and Jorge Posada, members from the Yankees dynasty in the late 1990s and early 2000s and also members of the 2009 World Series championship team.

Once told to lose his cutter, Rivera has become the poster-boy for the best cutter ever thrown

Rivera is considered the greatest closer of all-time, even though he doesn't stand atop the leaderboard in saves, but couple his 600 career regular season saves with his 42 career postseason saves and 0.71 ERA and you have yourself not only one of the best closers in the game, but one of the best pitchers in the game.
So congrats to both players once again on achieving great milestones and outstanding careers.
