“Let me just talk for a minute. Geraldo Rivera did a whole show about a custody battle that didn't exist. There were lies that went on all over the place, ... I did what I was supposed to do: I didn't talk. I shut up, shut up. Then, I was locked up. And while I was in here for six or seven months -- whatever it was -- I was told not to talk, again.”
Robert Blake
“(Rivera) was going to get the ball even if we were down a run, ... Having the lead was just a bonus.”
Joe Torre
“Look at [Eric] Gagne, [Trevor] Hoffman, [Mariano] Rivera. They have a way of getting out of jams,”
Alan Trammell
“He has better stuff than [the Yankees' Mariano] Rivera. With Rivera, you can put the ball in play. With this guy ... that's one of the few guys that when I'm looking for a slider, I can't hit it. That's the best pitch in the league.”
Carlos Lee
“As far as working with Chita Rivera, all I can say is it's a dream come true. Her artistry and discipline and dedication is a joy to be around.”
Ben Vereen
“Randy Johnson from one side, Rivera from the other side. It's hard to face them. The good thing is we got beat by good pitching.”
Miguel Tejada
“We had no answer for Rivera tonight.”
