The 50th homerun from Mo

Mariano Rivera 在今天（2008-06-07）對皇家隊比賽，於第九局上半所投出的第一球就挨了 DeJesus 一發全壘打，是他從 1995 年開啟職業生涯以來被打的第五十發全壘打。

逐年檢視他每年的被全壘打，以 1995 年的十一支最多，但由於他一開始是以先發為主，所以被全壘打的機會自然高出許多。

96 年轉後援之後，每年的被全壘打量以五支最多（1997年、2001年）。

而今天被 DeJesus 打的全壘打是第九局上來所投的第一球。在這種情況之前只出現過兩次。上一次已經可以追溯回 2000 年，被當時還在白襪隊的 Carlos Lee 所擊出，而再上一次，也就是第一次，則是十一年前的 1997 年，被還在運動家隊的 Mark McGwire 所擊出。詳細記錄如下：

這兩場比賽 Rivera 都承擔敗戰投手，唯獨今天這一場，靠著九下 Posada 的陽春全壘打及 Damon 的再見安打，讓 Rivera 撈到一場勝投。

最後，至今只有兩個人打過他一支以上的全壘打，分別是 Rafael Palmeiro 和 Edgar Martinez.

而數量是：兩支！
