He may have grounded out on a curveball, but he sat and waited. The next time up, he would flail miserably at the curveball, since there was no one on base. The third time, late in the game, he would sit and wait for the curveball, knowing that he looked bad twice on it and the pitcher had to feel confident Mays couldn't hit it, only to be surprised. When the game was on the line, Mays knew what the pitcher was thinking.
It is the difference between the pro game and the rest of us.
