We just posted video of what appeared to be Mariano Rivera spitting on the baseball during game 3 of the ALCS between the Angels and Yankees. According to Joel Sherman of the NY Post, the league has already looked at it, and is fine with it.
"The Commissioners Office reviewed available video and still photography from Mariano Rivera spitting toward a baseball in ALCS Game 3 and “found no evidence that Rivera spit on the ball,” a spokesman for the commissioner told the Post."
That's to be expected. After all, it's Mariano Rivera and the Yankees. I'm not saying I wanted to see a suspension or something, but it would have been nice if they at least made it look like they took it seriously, right?
