Mariano Rivera souvenirs flood the market after Yankees closer sets all-time saves record

"Mariano Rivera's record-breaking save led hordes of fans to hurl money at souvenirs Tuesday and had memorabilia hawkers hoping to close pump their coffers full with cash.

"I'm a quintessential New Yorker. I've got to buy a shirt today," said Ernest Heron, 50, of Westchester as he perused the shelves at Modell's "You keep it for posterity."

Steiner Sports had a whole line ready to go to mark the occasion, with a logo of the Yankee pitcher and the words "all-time leader 602 saves."

For $60, they offered a tasteful plaque with Rivera's photo and a smidge of "authenticated game used" dirt from Yankee Stadium.

Modell's flooded its shelves with Mo-themed gear - including shirts reading "Mo knows Saves," and other proclaiming him "All-time Saves Leader.""
