That means roughly nine out of every 10 times he went to the mound, he got the job done. And in the postseason, he was even better; in 96 appearances, he saved 42 games and blew just four. Can you imagine a hitter with that rate of success? On the weekend that we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, it is worth repeating that more men have walked on the moon 12 than have scored off Mariano Rivera in the postseason His ERA in the most important games of all is a ridiculous 0.

He did it all with one pitch, that cutter that dropped like a bowling ball and ate up bats like a chainsaw. There was no deception. Here it is. Try and hit it. Few could.

Roberts slid into second, and went all the way home on a single from Bill Mueller. Rivera eventually got out of the inning, but the game continued and the Sox began the comeback that preceded all of their annoyingness through the last decade or so. Furthering the pain is the fact that Rivera both got beat, and beat himself. After striking out the side in the eighth inning, Mo had three outs to fly another flag for the Yankees.
