Okay, you are Talib bin Husain, riding a 37-game hitting-streak, the longest in the short history of my fictional league ...
You're playing for Cardiff, the home team, and your team leads 3:1 in the bottom of the 7th inning, so chances for another at bat are slim.
Two on, nobody out, what would you do ? Swing away, trying to keep the streak alive ? Or be a class guy, giving it all for a team win ?
