A parade and ceremony was held in New Rochelle Saturday to honor Mariano Rivera, one week after being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Rivera says New Rochelle is a special place for him and his family after living there for most of his career.

 He accepted a key to the city during the ceremony.

Rivera was the first player to be unanimously elected into the Hall of Fame.

 The Mariano Rivera Foundation plans to create a youth learning center in New Rochelle.
