Others just wear a number they believe is lucky.</p>
<p>In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we&#039;ve narrowed down the best athletes to wear No. 5 in the professional sports world.</p>
<p>Some of the best No. 5s have played under the Boston microscope. <strong>Nomar Garciaparra</strong> played a stellar shortstop for the Red Sox for parts of nine seasons, and <strong>Kevin Garnett </strong>has made a name for himself and the Celtics with an NBA title to his credit.</p>
<p>Other greats include the 56-game hitting streak holder, <strong>Joe DiMaggio</strong>, and new Angels first baseman <strong>Albert Pujols</strong>, who is destined to be ushered into the Hall of Fame whenever his career comes to a close.</p>
<p>But who are the top 10 athletes to don the number?</p>

<p><strong>Mariano Rivera</strong>, the New York Yankees All-Star closer, appears to have torn his ACL and <a href="http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/7888133/mariano-rivera-new-york-yankees-torn-acl-according-manager-joe-girardi" target="_blank">will be done for the season</a>, according to ESPN.</p>
<p>Rivera <strong></strong>was carted off the field in Kansas City on Thursday, after coming up limp while fielding some flyballs in the outfield prior to first pitch at Kauffman Stadium.</p>
<p>The 42-year-old was runnign towards the outfield wall in pursuit of a ball hi by new Yankee teammate <strong>Jayson Nix</strong> when the injury occurred. Rivera leaped to try and make a play on the ball, but as he landed awkwardly on the warning track his right knee buckled.</p>
<p>As Rivera lay on the ground, teammate and former MVP Alex Rodriguez could be seen reacting to the scene, saying &quot;Oh, my God. Oh, my God.&quot;</p>
<p>Rivera was carted off the field, unable to walk under his own power. The unfortunate circumstances could mark a terrible end to an illustrious Hall of Fame Career, as Rivera will turn 43 this offseason.</p>
<p>The Yankees must now turn to either former closer Rafael Soriano or setup man Dave Robertson to finish off games in the dreaded American League East.</p>
<p>When asked about the situation with Rivera, manager Joe Girardi responded in short by saying &quot;It&#039;s not what you want, but it&#039;s not season over,&quot; referring to the Yankees season.</p>
<p>In nine appearances this season, Rivera is 1-1 with a 2.16 ERA and five saves in six chances for the Yankees.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, at least he wasn&#039;t right in the middle of going.
</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Bobby Wagner</strong>, a senior linebacker from Utah State, was drafted in the second round (47th overall) by the Seattle Seahawks on Friday, and he <a href="http://www.abc4.com/sports/story/Utah-States-Bobby-Wagner-drafted-in-2nd-round/Q6yD9tWFeEqARrT8mCSWdA.cspx" target="_blank">got the important phone call</a> while in the bathroom, according to ABC 4 Sports in Salt Lake City.</p>
<p>&quot;I was actually in the bathroom when I got the phone call,&quot; Wagner said.  &quot;I was on the way to the bathroom when I got a call from my agent, and  then I got a call from a Seattle number and I never got to go to the  bathroom. I finally got to go. We got the phone call right before the  pick and I got to tell them and everybody screamed. When my name went  across the screen, everybody screamed again.&quot;</p>
<p>Wilson led the Aggies with 147 tackles in 2011.</p>
<p>While Wilson&#039;s primary concern is now winning a starting job, he at least doesn&#039;t have to worry about holding it in anymore.</p>

<p>In the second round of the NFL draft on Friday night, Denver picked quarterback <strong>Brock Osweiler</strong> with the 25th pick &#8212; 57th overall. The former Arizona State quarterback only spent one full season as a starter in college.</p>
<p>In 2011, he finished 326-of-516 for 4,036 yards and 26 touchdowns. In 2009 and 2010, he was mainly used as a backup and played a total of 11 games.</p>
<p>With Tebow out of the picture, after being traded to the New York Jets, the Broncos needed another signal caller to be the understudy and eventually take the reigns from <strong>Peyton Manning</strong>.</p>
<p>Manning is coming off of multiple neck surgeries and Denver needs to have a backup in case something happens to re-aggravate the injury.</p>
<p>No one wants to see Manning go down, but it is good to have a backup plan.</p>

</p>
<p><strong>Michael Yormack</strong>, the President and CEO of the Florida Panthers, called out the fans <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/PanthersYormark/status/193884062564360192" target="_blank">for throwing plastic rats onto the ice</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/PanthersYormark/status/193884062564360192" target="_blank"></a>on his Twitter page.</p>
<p>&quot;Great win, but fans we cannot throw rats during the game,&quot; Yormack posted on Twitter. &quot;This has become a serious issue.&quot;</p>
<p>Panthers fans <a href="http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/22/panthers-owner-asks-fans-to-observe-proper-rat-throwing-etiquette/" target="_blank">showed their excitement for a goal on Saturday</a> against the New Jersey Devils by throwing rats on the ice. No actions or calls were made the officials, according to NBC Sports.</p>
<p>The rats can be seen behind <strong>Ed Jovanovski</strong>, who looked a little weirded out, and goalie <strong>Jose Theodore</strong> as they celebrate after the win.</p>

A perfect game is even harder to accomplish.</p>
<p>Chicago White Sox starter<strong> Philip Humber</strong> managed to toss a perfect game on Saturday, though. He threw 96 pitches and struck out nine batters in a 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field.</p>
<p>Humber is the 21st pitcher in major league history to pitch a perfect game. He joins a prestigious list that includes the likes of <strong>Cy Young</strong>, <strong>Kenny Rogers</strong> and <strong>Roy Halladay</strong>.</p>
<p>Humber may not have the best &quot;stuff,&quot; but he had enough to take down the weak offense of the Mariners on Saturday.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even <strong>Tim Tebow</strong> was shocked by the news.
</p>
<p>An anonymous couple <a href="http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/7814180/married-couple-bids-100000-spend-day-new-york-jets-tim-tebow" target="_blank">won the opportunity to spend a day</a> with the New York Jets quarterback after submitting a winning bid of $100,000, according to ESPN.com. The auction kicked off the Tim Tebow Celebrity Golf Classic &#8212; a fundraiser for the Tim Tebow Foundation &#8212; on Friday.</p>
<p>&quot;It was very humbling, and you don&#039;t necessarily feel worthy,&quot; Tebow  said.  &quot;That day I feel like I&#039;ve got to do a few extra things to be special,  you know? I&#039;ve got to try to be a little bit better.&quot;</p>
<p>The couple plans to spend the day with Tebow and underprivileged children near their home in the Florida Keys.</p>

<p><strong>1 p.m. ET:</strong> The Boston College Eagles (13-19, 4-11 ACC) will look to defeat a Harvard Crimson (5-22, 2-6 IVY) team that won 5-3 against them back on Wednesday, April 4. Jacob Kremers (1-1) got the win with two shutout innings of work. Both teams are on losing streaks &#8212; four for BC and three for Harvard &#8212; and one team needs the win for the push in the right direction.</p>
<p>Harvard broke out their bats in the bottom of the third inning with three runs on two hits last Wednesday. Steve Green (0-4) walked the first two batters in the inning before the Crimson scored their three runs on a groundout and a base hit from Steven Dill.</p>
<p>In this matchup, look for Anthony Melchionda and Tom Bourdon to get the big hits for BC. They have combined for 10 home runs and 41 RBIs. Harvard has no batter who has more than two homers, so expect to see a lot of small ball with the Crimson throughout the game.</p>
<p>Make sure to check back to NESN.com for live updates throughout the ball game. First pitch is at 2:30 p.m. ET.</p>
