Pressure

I cannot think of a more pressure-filled play than:

Game 7, World Series
Bottom 9th, 1 out
Men on first and third
Game tied.

Double play ball to shortstop or second basemen. Fuck up the double play, a balletic feat whose degree of difficulty is in inverse proportion to how we take it for granted, and lose the Series.

Is balletic a word?
