Rivera spotted alone

A fan spotted Mariano Rivera walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of June 11, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Mariano back on the market?

A rep for Mariano Rivera was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the baseball player was splitting hit the internet Friday (June 12), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Mariano’s phone number?”
