I'm sure many of you recall Kirk Gibson's MVP season. That year he had an iconic at bat in the World Series that put the Dodgers in the driver's seat.
Above is an excerpt from his trot.

If there is one word we in the Freep’s Sports department have read, written, read again, dissected and all-around
pondered more than any other in the past four years, it is likely this: “Rebuild.”
We actually thought it would be “Harbaugh,” but, no: Since May 9, 2017, there are 2,515 hits in our archive on “rebuild,” and just 2,230 on “Harbaugh.” (Another disappointing loss for Coach Jim, we know, but at least he didn’t have to go to Ohio for this one.)
And knowing that, we will say this: We’re not going to discuss the effectiveness of the Detroit Tigers’ rebuild right here.

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. No one can ever forget Michael Jordan’s shot against the Cavaliers. Or the one against the Jazz. Or Tiger Woods’ long put to win a major. In the sport that’s nearest and dearest to us there was Kirk Gibson who could barely walk but walked it off. There’s a memorable Joe Carter blast and so, so many others.
