Mariano Rivera has tied Trevor Hoffman atop the all-times saves list

Rivera closed out the Yankees win at Toronto yesterday to notch save 601 on his career.  There's no reason to expect Rivera to not be an elite closer again next year.  He'll tack on 30-40 more saved next season.  By the time he retires he'll extend the save record quite a bit.  He and Hoffman are already 150 saves beyond third place on the all-time list.  His record will probably stand for a long time.
