If you're looking for footage of the fabled game, you're not going to find it - no tape has ever surfaced, and Major League Baseball hasn't rushed to dig through its archives for documentation of the psychedelic affair.

...country will be sculpted by ideological battles, not philanthropic organizations. Li would be more deserving of the apparent reverence heaped upon him by awestruck Sichuan people if he were to take a real stand and challenge the government for whom he has too often been the smiling glad-hander. In defining the ideal attributes of China's future leaders, TIME's purpose should not be to buff the sheen of uncontroversial celebrities, but celebrate the struggle of real heroes in China.
