My best friend Mo is going to the Hall of Fame!

Mariano Rivera was one of my first clients - and is one of my closest friends.

I’ve known Mariano for 22 years – I’ve seen him go from a pretty much anonymous pitcher to one of the greatest baseball players of all time – and he’s still the same.

His approach is still team-based and low-key. He's one of the most accomplished men I know, but he's also by far the most humble.

That’s why Mariano is who he is. That’s why even his competitors respect and love him. That's what moves people about him.

Mariano never thinks about his brand. He thinks about his family, God, people he can help, and baseball. That's pretty much it.

Good things happen when you stay humble, do right by people, and never forget your place in the grand order of things.

A lot of people don’t have the patience and trust to let that all play out – they want immediate results. Instant gratification.

But Mariano is living proof that when you lead a selfless, authentic life, success will find you.

So here's to Mariano Rivera - the most dominant & humble athlete we'll ever see.
