famous for this and nearly every
other great pitcher has always
pitched so that he could bear down
whenever he had to. Sustained bat

against great pitchers for the same
reason that sustained offensives are
next to impossible against great foot

You find the same thing happen

distance runners are those that time
themselves so perfectly that they
would run at an even pace the entire

remained in the lead or at their

Great race horses are those that
can keep an even clip. They beat
