“I don't mind,” Rivera said. “If he likes that song and that makes him
feel comfortable when he comes in, let him be. Let him be.”

Rivera,
who was called by a friend in New York and told of the controversy as
he rode to the stadium, thought the whole thing was hilarious. The
heavy metal song was chosen for Rivera by a group of Yankees employees;
Rivera doesn't even know the lyrics.

“I don't listen to that
type of music,” Rivera said. “But I like it when those two [bullpen]
doors open and they play that song. It's identified with me.”
