World Series 2001 vs World Series 2016. Mariano Rivera vs Aroldis Chapman. In this episode of Baseball Bits, we explore two radically different ninth innings from two phenomenal closing pitchers. One pitches well, but still is saddled with a World Series blown save. The other struggles, but live to tell the tale.
We learn about the brief, but impactful Aroldis Chapman Cubs days. He didn't get much action in Chicago, but ended up taking home a ring and ending the curse. Meanwhile, A Mariano Rivera postseason is something we take for granted. He dominated, just not in 2001 vs the Arizona Diamondbacks. Either way, a World Series 9th inning is truly something to behold.
