Did You See That? Mariano Rivera gets standing ovation

As Enter Sandman by Metallica boomed throughout Citi Field in New York on Tuesday, the Yankees closer got a standing ovation and saluted those who have only dreamed of having a career as illustrious as No. 42.

Mariano Rivera stood on the mound with his hat held high in what was an iconic moment for a revered veteran.

The 43-year-old had just entered the game from the bullpen and was making his 13th and final appearance in the MLB All-Star Game. And the fans knew they were witnessing a piece of baseball history.

After a lengthy applause -- fellow players included -- Rivera went to work and sat down three straight hitters on just 16 pitches en route to being named MLB All-Star Game MVP in the American League's 3-0 win.

Take a look at the festivities below:
