We are honored to have Mariano join us for this rare, unique night which will benefit prostate cancer awareness, Randall said. There are few people, let alone athletes, who have done more for New York than he has done throughout his storied career, and it is our pleasure to give fans an up-close, special treat to both hear and speak to him before he heads to spring training.

"SVA is honored to host this evening with Ed Randall and Mariano Rivera, said Anthony P. Rhodes, SVA Executive Vice President. Not only does it give baseball fans a chance to hear and see one of the greats of the game up close, it benefits a worthy, underrepresented cause. The more men that are made aware of the seriousness of prostate cancerand of how to detect and treat it in its early stagesthe closer we come to eliminating its threat to our collective health and well being."

Mariano Rivera has spent all 18 of his Major League Baseball seasons with the New York Yankees. The Panama native is a 12-time All-Star and five-time World Series champion, and is MLB's all-time leader in saves (608) and games finished (892). His accolades include five American League (AL) Rolaids Relief Man Awards and three Delivery Man of the Year Awards. An accomplished postseason performer, Rivera was named the 1999 World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) and the 2003 AL Championship Series MVP, and he holds several postseason records, including lowest earned run average (ERA) (0.70) and most saves (42).
