It's unlikely that Mariano Rivera would have joined in with the boo-birds at Yankee Stadium when Robinson Cano came to town last week, but the legendary Yankees closer reveals in his new book that his former teammate isn’t his favorite second baseman in baseball — or even in the American League East.

In his new autobiography, “The Closer,” Rivera writes about how much affection he has for his former teammate, but adds, “This guy has so much talent I don’t know where to start... There is no doubt that he is a Hall-of-Fame caliber (player). It’s just a question of whether he finds the drive you need to get there. I don’t think Robby burns to be the best... You don’t see that red-hot passion in him that you see in most elite players.”

As for his favorite second baseman, Rivera says Red Sox Dustin Pedroia is “at the top of the list” of players he admires, adding: “Nobody plays harder, gives more, wants to win more. He comes at you hard for twenty-seven outs. It’s a special thing to see.”

He later writes, “If I have to win one game, I’d have a hard time taking anybody over Dustin Pedroia as my second baseman.”

The book, written with Daily News sportswriter Wayne Coffey, will be released Tuesday.

In new book, Mariano Rivera questions Robinson Cano's drive, says he'd take Dustin Pedroia of Red Sox - NY Daily News

Jeter Vouched for Cano before Seattle visited the Stadium.

He Said Robbie would show up to the Stadium 5 hrs before games, take Ground Balls, Spend Extra Time with Kevin Long.

Jeter said those were the reasons Cano made it always look so easy is because he always put in the Hard Work.

But he didn't Hustle to 1st
