Associated Press: Mariano Rivera made a successful debut as the Yankees defeated Boston 4-2.
Real Life: Rivera entered the game with a three-run lead. He relinquished a run on a walk and a double before retiring the side. For those of you scoring at home, Red Sox batters hit .250/.400/.500 against him and saddled him with an ERA of 9.00.
But he "earned" a save, so it must have been successful. At least according to dinosaurs like the Association Press.
Thirty-four years and counting.
