Statisticians will continue to tell us that clutch isn’t a thing. Well, let me say that isn’t right. Obviously, in every sport we see clutch performances. Be it a superstar or just an ordinary guy on the team, sometimes they rise above the moment and come through spectacularly at exactly the right time. We canonize those people.

In the sport that’s nearest and dearest to us there was Kirk Gibson who could barely walk but walked it off.
