I find it funny that you used your bean bags example as the crux of your argument.
Maybe you're just half-assing it when the game isn't on the line, but when it is, you start caring. It isn't necessarily that you're playing at a high level, then the game is on the line and you're able to take it to an even higher level. Maybe you're always just a really good bean bag player, but only play well when you start giving a shit.
If Manny or Papi (or whoever the clutch guy of the hour is) can turn it up a notch at will, why don't they always turn it up a notch and hit .500 with 150 HR and 300 RBI every season? Surely they would reach a level of fame and wealth that would be unsurpassed by any human to ever play the sport.
