Mike Vacarro proposes that New York City change the name of River Avenue to Rivera Avenue in honor of Mo and his great career. The street name is hardly sentimental to much of anyone, merely signifying the presence of the nearby Harlem River to the Stadium. Unfortunately, New York City only entertains the idea of renaming streets in honor of people who have had significant impact on New York City and have passed away. Rivera obviously does not meet the latter requirement. Exceptions have been made before (Willie Mays and Ed Koch were both honored while still living) and Vacarro would like to see another made in this instance. Make the exception! And while you are at it how about a street named after Roberto Clemente, too.
