Since 1912, baseball has been a game obsessed with statistics and speed. Thrown at upwards of 100 miles per hour, a fastball moves too quickly for human cognition and accelerates into the realm of intuition.

It took the 1986 Mets two games to recover from a grueling NLCS, and then the fiery Lenny Dykstra led the charge.
