Here’s the part in the blog where you get out of it, what you put into it. 
Please reply to this post with your (the readers) choice for the best closer in Major League Baseball and don’t forget to tell us why you choose who you did. I will post these at the end of this entry as they come in.
If this works well, I’ll do more of these this off season.

I would have to say Mariano Rivera of the NY Yankees. Being a Boston Red Sox fan all my life, it kills me to say that but what is true is true. The man makes me dislike him against the Red Sox but he is a very good closer!
Danielle,
As recently as two years ago & I would have agreed with you, but now I’m just not sure. Mariano just hasn’t been what he use to be these past few years. I’d have to go with either Trevor Hoffman (current all time saves leader who plays for the Padres), K-Rod (Angels) or Papelbon (Red Sox).
