Agree about 'electric stuff' ... but sometimes that stuff isn't enough; it takes some luck or good fortune. I heard an interview of some of the 1968 Tigers (Kaline among them) talking about Gibson's slider and fastball in game 1 of the World Series. One of them, when asked who the best pitcher he ever faced, said that Gibson, on that day, was the best. The Tigers got 5 hits that day, but Gibson was dominant. The 17 strikeouts stand out, but I like that of the 9 Tigers that started that game every one of them struck out at least once.
Last night, if the Braves short stop peels off to one side and runs past the outfielder (in case the ball gets by him), then I think the outfielder doesn't slow down and he catches that ball. The outfielder didn't slow down to catch the ball, he slowed because of the short stop running towards him. If those two had been students of George Kissell that ball may well have been caught.
