Mariano Rivera"s Epic, Legacy-Building Failure
Mariano Rivera pitches against the Seattle Mariners in the ninth inning of Game 2 of the AL Championships, October 18, 2001. (Reuters)
Tonight, Mariano Rivera will play his last game in New York Yankees uniform, capping off a remarkable professional baseball career. He will leave behind a collection of indelible memories, most of which involve triumph. Whenever Rivera, often referred to as the Hammer of God for the merciless manner in which he retired opposing batters, entered a game in the eighth or ninth inning, baseball fans could justifiably guess the game was over and that the Yankees would win. Rivera was that good; he was the closest thing the sport had to perfection.
But for the rare sports fan who believes losing can actually be more meaningful than winning, the memory of Mariano Rivera that stands out most does not involve any one of his countless victories. It involves his most famous defeat: Game Seven of the 2001 World Series.
In that series, the defending champion Yankees played the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks less than two months after 9/11. Due to the trauma inflicted on New York City and its citizens, the Yankees, perhaps for the first time in their long and storied history (certainly for the first time during the Steinbrenner era), briefly became America’s team. Though the boys in pinstripes had won four out the past five World Series and were beginning to develop a reputation for a “win at all costs” (and I mean that in a literal sense) approach to talent retention, relatively few sports fans outside the Valley of the Sun weren’t pulling for the Yankees to win another title and provide some much needed catharsis for a city still reeling.
Through the first six games, Rivera did his part to bring another trophy back to the Bronx, recording a save (Game Three) and a win (Game Four) and contributing clutch relief pitching in a 12-inning Game Five victory. With the Yankees leading 2-1 heading into the eighth inning of Game Seven, in Phoenix, Yankees Manager Joe Torre inserted Rivera into the game.
When Rivera strolled onto the mound, it seemed as though his team was set to extend their reign for another year. Rivera entered the game with an ongoing string of 23 consecutive postseason saves. In 51 career postseason games, he’d posted an ERA of .70, the lowest of any pitcher ever. Given his prior postseason mastery, it seemed unfathomable that the Diamondbacks could get two runs off Rivera and complete a comeback.
Yet Arizona didn’t seem fazed at the prospect of facing arguably the greatest closer in the history of baseball. During the telecast Joe Buck, calling the game for Fox, mentioned that Diamondbacks Manager Bob Brenly had said his dream was to come back to Arizona after the three losses his team suffered in New York and not only win the series but beat Rivera in the process. Now that opportunity was there.
It didn’t start well for the Diamondbacks. In the eighth inning, Rivera gave up one hit but struck out three batters without allowing up a run. Entering the ninth with the Yankees still leading 3-2, it seemed like the Hammer of God would once again quash the hopes of an opposing team and emerge victorious.
But then, almost inexplicably, things changed. Rivera gave up a single to the first Diamondbacks batter. An errant throw to second on a bunt put another runner on base with no outs. After a failed bunt attempt resulted in an out, a Diamondback batter drove in a run with a double. Rivera then hit the next batter, which brought Luis Gonzalez, who was having one of the best seasons in the majors, to the plate with the bases loaded.
That sequence, in which Rivera gave up the tying run and then loaded the bases, was somewhat unbelievable. Here was a player who never failed to deliver in clutch failing to deliver in the clutch. Witnessing the unraveling of a semi-mythic athlete who’d never failed to deliver on the biggest stages felt surreal, like watching the mighty Achilles get taken out by unimpressive Paris in real time.
In spite of his struggles, it seemed likely Rivera would find a way to pitch his way out of the situation. He had struck out Gonzalez the previous inning. Perhaps, the Hammer of God was just making things a little more dramatic.
But the unthinkable continued to happen. Gonzalez hit a bloop single to center field, and the Diamondbacks won the game 3-2. They had vanquished the untouchable Rivera and the mighty Yankees. Though Gonzalez was a power hitter who had crushed 57 home runs that season, he understood power hitting was not the way to beat Rivera. So he cribbed a technique from little league and choked up on his bat. He would later tell reporters, “To be honest, that’s the first time I choked up all year.” The improvisation worked. The swing on which he connected with the ball resulted in a broken bat, but it also resulted in the hit that shattered Mariano Rivera’s veneer of invincibility.
Whenever I think about that game and the way Rivera lost it, a quote from sportswriter Brian Philips pops into my head: “Our sports culture may value winning over everything, but there’s nothing more epic than tragic defeat.” Rivera’s blown save, which prevented the Yankees from bringing a World Series trophy to a city in pain and proved the great closer fallible, was professional sports at its most tragically epic.
As the Diamondbacks celebrated the most dramatic ending to a season that is possible, Rivera walked to the dugout in a manner that can only be described as quietly dignified. He would later tell Jeff Bradley of The Star Ledger, “I think it was the best World Series we ever played in,” illustrating he could find solace in the spectacle even though victory had eluded him. It was possible to be both happy for the nascent Arizona franchise and sorry for the Yankees at the same time.
Athletes may dream about and actively pursue perfection, but perfection is only interesting in the abstract. Losing humanizes athletes in a way winning never can, and without a touch of humanity athletes risk becoming emotionless symbols with better physiques than the average person. Muhammad Ali had a more exciting and meaningful career because of his loss to and rivalry with Joe Frazier. The Larry Bird-Magic Johnson feud that captivated NBA fans in the ‘80s was so remarkable because both men lost at the hands of the other. Peyton Manning remains more likeable than Tom Brady in part because his postseason failures have been more compelling than Brady’s victories.
Had Rivera won that game he would have seemed almost too perfect. Blowing that save diminished his postseason ERA but not his greatness. It showed that even the best mess up once and a while. Rivera recovered from that loss and pitched very successfully for another decade. The next season his ERA rose by .40 points, but from 2003 to 2006 he maintained an ERA under 2.0 and continued to serve as an exceptionally reliable closer. He showed no sign of ill effects from that loss and won another World Series with the Yankees in 2009. This season, Rivera has saved 44 games and posted an ERA of 2.11, illustrating he could continue to pitch if he so desired. As he steps down, he leaves behind an enduring legacy—a legacy that’s great in part because of his most memorable failure.

“The Grandmaster”: A moody, dreamy martial-arts epic
Where do we start with Wong Kar-wai’s “The Grandmaster,” a moody, mannered and often spectacular martial-arts epic that’s been five years in the making (and many more since its conception) and now exists in at least three different versions? First of all, fans of the great Hong Kong auteur who brought us “Chungking Express” and “In the Mood for Love” largely won’t be disappointed. The bizarre Norah Jones misfire of “My Blueberry Nights” target=”_blank” six years ago – ultimately not a terrible film, but also not a very good one – has been consigned to the memory hole, and “The Grandmaster” brings Wong back to a gorgeous, heavily stylized Chinese period piece wrapped in nostalgia and melancholy, along with the glorious visages of Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi as lovers sundered by fate.

After Epic Escape From China, Exile Is Mired in Partisan U.S.
Chen Guangcheng, the blind legal advocate who challenged the Chinese government over its harsh family planning policies, is nothing if not a politically astute survivor. He outsmarted the phalanx of guards who kept him under house arrest and then made his way into the American Embassy, setting off a diplomatic crisis that was resolved only after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton intervened and negotiated his freedom.
Mark Makela for The New York Times
Chen Guangcheng; his wife, Yuan Weijing; and their children, last month on a visit to Pittsburgh.
But Mr. Chen’s political savvy has not translated well in the complex and fiercely partisan terrain he has encountered in the United States. Even before he could recover from jet lag in May 2012, Mr. Chen was besieged by human rights activists, opponents of abortion and an array of politicians from both parties eager to harness the celebrity wattage of the man who stood up to the Chinese Communist Party.
His sponsors at New York University cautioned Mr. Chen to stay clear of a partisan minefield he did not understand. “I told Chen there was a presidential election coming up and he should spend a year studying the American political landscape before wading in,” said Jerome A. Cohen, a law professor and close confidant.
That advice, friends say, never really sank in, and Mr. Chen, 41, has found himself enmeshed in controversy. Backed by a coterie of conservative figures, Mr. Chen has publicly accused N.Y.U. of bowing to Chinese government pressure and prematurely ending his fellowship this summer. The university says the fellowship was intended to be for only one year. Some of those around Mr. Chen also accuse the university of trying to shield him from conservative activists.
The sparring has grown fierce, with N.Y.U. officials accusing one of those conservative activists, Bob Fu, the president of a Texas-based Christian group that seeks to pressure China over its religious restrictions, of trying to track Mr. Chen surreptitiously through a cellphone and a tablet computer that Mr. Fu’s organization donated to him.
The controversy kicked up by Mr. Chen’s accusations against N.Y.U. have dismayed some of his supporters so much that a wealthy donor who had pledged to finance a three-year visiting scholar position for him at Fordham University recently withdrew the offer. That means Mr. Chen, who declined to be interviewed for this article and who returns to New York from a visit to Taiwan on Thursday, has to line up another source of financing. If that does not pan out, he will be left with a single job offer: from the Witherspoon Institute, a conservative research organization in New Jersey that is perhaps best known for its opposition to same-sex marriage and stem cell research.
The sniping has become a distraction from Mr. Chen’s work pressuring Beijing, but he is by no means the first Chinese activist to find his voice muted after arriving on American shores.
Since the late 1980s, a long list of high-profile Chinese exiles who were granted refuge in the United State have found their work diminished, or their reputations compromised. Some, like Chai Ling, a student organizer during the Tiananmen protests who later embraced evangelical Christianity, alienated many of her supporters by repeatedly suing the creators of a documentary that she says defamed her. Wei Jingsheng, who spent 18 years in Chinese prisons for his pro-democracy activism, was feted by Congress and human rights groups after his arrival in 1997, but later became far less prominent after feuding with other activists.
“You have to be a tough nut to be a dissident, but those same qualities don’t always serve them well outside China,” said Perry Link, a professor at the University of California, Riverside, who has helped many Chinese exiles adapt to life in the United States.
Friends of Mr. Chen say that he has been eager to solicit others’ advice, but that he has often been swayed by the last person with whom he spoke. Although they describe him as fiercely principled, they say he may have overestimated his ability to navigate the partisan shoals of American domestic politics. “Chen often told me he had no interest in siding with the Democratic or Republican Party, but that he was on the side of democracy and freedom,” said Hu Jia, a Chinese dissident who frequently speaks with him on Skype. “I think that maybe he got in over his head.”
Even before he landed at Newark Liberty Airport last year, veteran human rights advocates predicted a tug of war over Mr. Chen and his superhero élan, both among elected officials and the tangle of Chinese exile groups that often vie for attention and scarce financing.
John Kamm, the director of the Dui Hua Foundation, a San Francisco-based organization that advocates for Chinese political prisoners, said at the time that the prospect of someone with Mr. Chen’s profile coming to the United States was electrifying. “In the dissident community, someone with his kind of stature doesn’t come along every day,” Mr. Kamm said shortly before Mr. Chen arrived. “His face, with those sunglasses, is the kind of Che Guevara-like image you can stick on a T-shirt.”
Among those most eager to stake a claim on Mr. Chen’s celebrity was Mr. Fu, whose organization, China Aid, played a high-profile role in publicizing his long persecution at the hands of the local officials in Shandong Province, which included nearly six years of jail and house arrest.
Most dramatically, it was Mr. Fu, during a Congressional hearing convened by Representative Christopher H. Smith, Republican of New Jersey, who held aloft the cellphone that allowed Mr. Chen to plead for refuge in the United States as he recovered in a Beijing hospital from the injuries sustained during his escape.
