Even the Unspeakable's have their moments (found on a sox chat board):
A Sox Fan's Ode To Mariano
I have to admit that I get the crankies
When somebody mentions the Damn New York Yankees.
I just do not like them, it's one of my gripes
They strut around wearing their fancy pin stripes.
There is one exception, someone I don't blame
A prince of a fellow, Rivera's his name.
He's top notch, a class act, the finest you'll meet
He helps sweet old ladies while crossing the street.
It's hard not to like him although he's a foe
He's a wonderful guy, he's Mariano.
In closing out ballgames, well, it's understood
He's the best of all time: the guy is that good.
He's saved games forever. To tell you the truth
I think that he played with both Gehrig and Ruth.
Were he not a Yankee he'd rate an A plus.
Good luck, Mariano, but not against us!
