Team chemistry is one of those intangibles that is the subject of debate. Was it Willie's fault? Some will argue that he doesn't swing the bat, pitch the ball or make the put-out, but......

I think team chemistry has a lot to do with success in team sports. How do you explain the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays? How do you explain the Giants winning the Super Bowl? There are innumerable examples. Intangibles play a large part and it is a part that sportscasters tend to downplay because they can't explain it. And what is the power and attraction of a sports cast?.....Knowledge and prediction; chemistry takes that leverage away from them.
