Players are different from you and me. Perhaps this is obvious. I can't throw 90 miles per hour like Alex White and you can't hit the ball on the barrel of the bat every single time like Dustin Ackley. Those are physical gifts and it is our job as fans to marvel at them. But when you reach the end of the college baseball season and a sellout crowd is gathered at Rosenblatt Stadium, it's not always the physical gifts that make the biggest difference. (Tar Heel Blue)
