DOC UME NT A F or me, it started with Muhammad Ali. I can perfectly recall sitting in the living room with my father, watching as he danced around the ring with a rare mix of fluidity and power, dispatching one rough, plodding opponent after another. He seemed the perfect embodiment of masculine striving. But the best part was after the match had ended. T hat’s when Ali would unleash one of his verbal rants. F ull of braggadocio, he would proclaim to the world, “I am the greatest.”A nd I believed him.

But why? W hy was I so willing to listen to Ali? W hy do we take any guidance from athletes? In the midst of T iger W oods’ T hanksgiving car wreck and his apparent infidelity with multiple women, I can’t help but wonder why we bother to make heroes of our sportsmen.[… ]

W e live in an era where our star athletes — and our celebrities in general — are treated as our cultural elite. W e yearn for a conne ction to them. It is the height of absurdity that so many people actually feel let down by T iger’s infidelities, just as it always struck me as bizarre when public hordes gather outside the homes of recently deceased celebrities, sobbing uncontrollably (think Michael J ackson or P rincess Diana). S omehow, we have come to value our celebrities so much that we feel an actual sense of personal connection to them — even when we’ve never met them.

T he danger is that we have come to admire celebrities more than real heroes. C harles Barkley famously made this point in 1993 when he declared, “a million guys can dunk a basketball in jail; should they be role models? ”

Later that year, Barkley filmed a self-written Nike commercial in which he argued that athletes should not be considered role models: “I a m not a role model,” Barkley said. “I am not paid to be a role model. I am paid to wre ak havoc on the basketball court. P arents should be role models. J ust because I dunk a basketball, doesn’t mean I should raise your kids.”

DOC UME NT B [T he narrator, Holling Hoodwood, meets Mickey Mantle.]

He was sitting at a table, dressed in his street clothes. Behind him, Mr Mercutio Baker, who owned the E mporium, had put up a bulletin board full of Y ankee photographs, most of Mickey Mantle swinging away. Above them was a jersey with Number 7. Mickey Mantle had signed his name below it. He was bigger than he looked on television. He had hands as large as shovels, and the forearms that came from his sleeve s were strong as stone. His legs struck out from beneath the table, and they looked like they could run down a train on the Long Island R ail R oad. He yawned a couple of times, big yawns that he didn’t even try to hide. He must have had a long day. In front of me, standing at the table all by themse lves with Mickey Mantle, were Danny Hupfer and his father. Mickey Mantle was just handing a baseball back, and Danny was just taking it into his hands. It was sort of a holy moment, and the light that shone around them seemed to glow softly, like something you’d see in one of the stained glass windows at S aint Andrew’s. “T hanks,”said Danny. He said it in awe and worship. “Y eah, kid,”said Mickey Mantle. T hen I came up. I held out the new perfect white baseball and whispered, “C an I please have your autograph? ” And he took the ball from my hand and held his pen over it. And then Mickey Mantle looked at me. Mickey Mantle, he looked at me! And he spoke. “W hat are you supposed to be? ”he said. I froze. W hat was I supposed to say? 1 “Y ou look like a fairy ,”he said. I coughed once. “I’m Ariel,”I said. “W ho? ” “Ariel.” “S ounds like a girl’s name.” “He’s a warrior,”I said. Mickey Mantle looked me up and down. “S ure he is. L isten, I don’t sign baseballs for kids in yellow tights.” Mickey Mantle looked at his watch and turned to Mr Baker. “It’s past nine thirty. I’m done.” He tos sed my new perfect white baseball onto the floor. It rolled past my feet and into the folds of my blue cape. T he world should split in two. T he world should split in two, and I should fall into the crack and never be heard from again. Holling Hoodwood. Me. T he boy in yellow tights with white feathers on the butt and a blue floral cape. T he boy Mickey Mantle wouldn’t sign a baseball for.

 T he narrator is dressed as a fairy as he has just played the part of Ariel, a spirit, in S hakespeare’s T he T empest.

And Danny Hupfer had seen it all. T he yellow tights . T he cape. T he ball. E verything. Danny Hupfer, who stepped to the table and slowly placed his baseball - his baseball signed by Mickey Mantle - back in front of the greatest player to put on Y ankee pinstripes since Babe R uth. “I guess I won’t need this after all,” Danny said. He lifted his hand from it, and I could tell it was n’t easy. G ary D. S chmidt, T he Wednesday Wars, 2007
