Not the last 14 points of the game but the minus and plus seven points that ended the first half determined the winner of the Super Bowl this year. The Pittsburg Steelers and Arizona Cardinals were worthy contenders. They played a great game that the Cardinals should have won. Arizona was by a very small margin the better team but could not afford to give away 14 points. I don’t mean the last 14 points scored. They added up to zero.

When this series of notes started, I observed that, with the exception of George Herman Ruth, an unparalleled hitter and one of the great pitchers in baseball history, the very best in almost every case is constituted of three, four or five, occasionally more, whether that best be a position player in sports, a whole team, a university or an after dinner drink. This year’s set of college football’s bowl games proved the rule.

There have been complaints, so, yes, let me confess that there were more heroes of the San Diego Chargers’ victory over the Indianapolis Colts than Darren Sproles. Philip Rivers, a gifted quarterback, completed 20 of 36 passes for 217 yards.

Great games have two requirements: 1) SPLENDID PLAY, with the outcome delayed till the very end and 2) the IMPORTANCE OF THE GAME. Yesterday’s San Diego Chargers—Indianapolis Colts matchup was both wonderfully played and important, not only because it was the first game of the playoffs for the national championship but also because it eliminated from the series this year’s MVP, Peyton Manning, one of the brightest and most gifted quarterbacks in the history of the game. Two splendid strategies, one defensive and one offensive, took the Chargers over the top.

Chase Utley, the Phillie’s heady second basement, ranged onto the outfield grass behind the bag, speared a hard grounder, cleverly faked a throw to first and then cut down the runner trying to score. The Phillies in five! A quality closing of the book that saved what was developing into a disaster of errors and bad thinking that might otherwise have constituted our memories of the 2008 World Series between Philadelphia and Tampa Bay.

Math lets us think about relationships among things as if they were numbers. Baseball rests on numbers, too, but, also like science, depends on what’s seen for meaning as well. When a batter stands in after being decked by a pitcher who hurls 95 mile an hour fastballs from the batter’s side of the plate, we see sheer courage. Enter geometry: the kid who ducks away from that hurler’s curve for strike three is the picture of fear. Walk off homer? Utter success. Caught off base with your team down a run and two out in the ninth?
