(Día del Deportista Panameño) Todo bateador de las Ligas Mayores del Béisbol sabía lo que le esperaba cuando tenía que enfrentarse a Mariano Rivera. Sabía lo que estaba por llegar, y que era tal vez la mejor recta cortada jamás lanzada por un beisbolista profesional. ¡Y aun así no era capaz de hacer contacto con la pelota! Por eso y mucho más, era de esperarse que en el año 2019 fuera elegido al Salón de la Fama en su primer año de elegibilidad, al igual que lo habían sido 54 de los mejores beisbolistas de todos los tiempos que lo antecedieron. Sólo que ese año, por primera vez en los 83 años de votación de la Asociación de Escritores de Béisbol de América, ¡el voto por uno de los elegidos, Mariano Rivera, fue unánime!1 Criado en Puerto Caimito, una pequeña aldea panameña de pesca —a unos 24 kilómetros de la Ciudad de Panamá— Rivera había iniciado su carrera beisbolística jugando «con un guante hecho de un cartón de leche, un palo como bate y una pelota hecha de redes de pesca muy apretadas».2 Pero un brazo fuerte y certero, y un cuerpo atlético y nervudo lo pusieron en la mira de los Yankees de Nueva York en 1990, y fue así como a los veinte años comenzó su ascenso desde las Ligas Menores hasta debutar en las Mayores como abridor de los Yankees en 1995. No fue sino hasta 1996 que comenzó a lanzar como relevista y posteriormente a adquirir fama como un cerrador imbatible. En todas sus 19 temporadas en las Ligas Mayores, Mariano Rivera jugó con el mismo equipo, los Yankees de Nueva York. Protagonizó en cinco Series Mundiales, impuso récords en juegos salvados (652) y en juegos completos (952), e igualó el récord de 9 temporadas con 40 o más juegos salvados. Rivera también posee los récords de postemporada de 96 juegos lanzados y 42 salvados, 24 de éstos lanzados y 11 salvados en Series Mundiales, así como el promedio más bajo de carreras limpias permitidas (0.70), sólo 11 en 141 entradas. De ahí que, desde 2014, el premio que recibe el Relevista del Año en la Liga Americana se llame Mariano Rivera. En 32 series de postemporada, entre éstas siete Series Mundiales, ganó ocho juegos y perdió sólo uno. Rivera fue reconocido como el Jugador Más Valioso de la Serie Mundial de 1991 y de la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana en 2003, como también del Juego de Estrellas en 2013, una de las 13 temporadas en que fue elegido para participar. Es el segundo miembro del Salón de la Fama del Beísbol nacido en Panamá. El primero, Rod Carew, ingresó en 1991.3 En su autobiografía titulada El cerrador, Rivera cuenta cómo nació su recta cortada con «ese malvado efecto». Dice que no pasó años buscando ese lanzamiento ni se lo pidió a Dios, sino que surgió de repente «como si hubiera caído directamente del cielo... [como] otro de los increíbles regalos del Señor». Y luego concluye que Dios le dio esa «arma de béisbol devastadora» porque, como siempre, Dios tenía un plan específico, un plan que cambió toda su carrera.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 «Mariano Rivera (Pitcher): Class of 2019», National Baseball Hall of Fame [Salón de la Fama del Béisbol], Cooperstown, New York En línea 6 enero 2023; «Mariano Rivera unanimously elected to Hall of Fame, along with Roy Halladay, Edgar Martinez and Mike Mussina» [Mariano Rivera elegido por unaniminad al Salón de la Fama, junto con Roy Halladay, Edgar Martínez y Mike Mussina], Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) [Asociación de Escritores de Béisbol de América], 22 enero 2019 En línea 6 enero 2023. 2 Mariano Rivera con Wayne Coffey, El cerrador: Mi Vida, Edición en español por Hachette Book Group (New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2014) p. 6. 3 «Mariano Rivera (Pitcher): Class of 2019»; «Mariano Rivera unanimously elected to Hall of Fame (BBWAA); Spencer Fordin, «Premios de los relevistas serán “Rivera” y “Hoffman”», mlb.com [Béisbol de las Grandes Ligas], 9 April 2014 En línea 6 enero 2023. 4 Mariano Rivera con Wayne Coffey, El cerrador, pp. 89-90.
