Everyone wants to be able to perform well at important moments, especially in the world of sports, where both team and individual efforts are necessary for success. A person who does well for the team is praised for his or her contributions. But when the team suffers a loss, especially at a key point in the season, one person is often blamed for it even though the team is just as responsible. This work considers baseball players whose careers have been defined and misrepresented by a botched play. Their clubs' misfortune having been said to depend from the miscue, these men have endured the public's scorn, the media's subtle cat-calling, and anonymous threats of violence.
