Mariano Rivera now has one for every finger on his pitching hand.

But the 2009 World Series championship rings, which were handed out by Yankee manager Joe Girardi and pinstripes legends Whitey Ford and Yogi Berra, may be the team’s biggest bling yet.

Each of the hefty, 3.55-carat diamond rings features a large blue sapphire and is engraved with an image of new Yankee Stadium, which the team christened with a championship in its first season.

Girardi also had the words “tradition” and “unity” etched on the sides of the rings.

The ring, designed by Balfour, features 119 diamonds in all, a number that holds no particular significance in Bronx Bombers lore other than to be over the top. Jeremy Olshan
