ONLY A professional athlete can know, really know, the joy and the rush that comes with having a big performance in a bigger game.
Shane Victorino knows. He had a single and a triple and drove in four runs in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. He later made a nice catch at the wall that helped end a Los Angeles threat. This must be what ballplayers talk about when they look into the camera and proclaim, "I live for this!"
