‘Rivera Avenue’ is on deck

The City Council is expected to make history on Tuesday by going to bat for Mariano Rivera and voting to officially rename a street outside Yankee Stadium for him.

The proposal would name one block of River Avenue — near 161st Street — after the legendary Yankee relief pitcher, who retired at the end of last season.

There isn’t any known opposition to the bill, and it is expected to pass unanimously.
