Mariano Rivera got multiple standing ovations from Boston sports fans on Saturday.

The first came during the bottom of the ninth inning when the Yankees closer came in to shut the Red Sox down for his 31st save of the season.

The second came in a Boston restaurant. FOX play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert tweeted about the ovation Mo received from the Boston faithful.

A player has to be well respected to get one standing O from Boston, but only legendary opposing players get two in the same day.

Just witnessed great scene in a Boston steakhouse. An ovation for Mariano Rivera from entire restaurant. In Boston! @MLBONFOX #Yankees
