Former Yankees pitcher visits Israel

Former New York Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera traveled to Israel with a delegation from his church, JTA reported.

The Panamanian-American former baseball player arrived in Israel on Monday as part of an interfaith mission organized by the New York Board of Rabbis and the Consulate General of Israel in New York.
