I have been following the baseball thread for a few days now, and I think
you are as close to what TP was up to as anyone.  But it is not the
winning that is at issue but the sinister.  

The spider at the heart  of the baseball web is not the pitcher, as one
writer suggested but the knot of people at home plate: batter, catcher
and ump.  All the white lines extend from there.

When a batter hits a home run, it describes another white line that makes
a parabola, in GR the most sinister image, that has its terminus in the
audience.
