Kinda supports my belief that the biggest difference between major leaguers (especially veterans) and players at all other levels is not so much what they can do -- hit a ball 400 feet, make a great catch, throw a 98 mph fast ball -- but that they know what to do in a given situation, often with a small fraction of a second to make the decision.
