Because there's no real statistic to judge being clutch (other than RISP), one sportswriter points to the Ortiz walkoff against BJ Ryan, another sports writer points to A-Rods homer off Schilling, in the end the arguement over being "clutch" doesn't have much wiegh-in.
As for "I tihnk where your team finishes definitly has something to do with it also", A-Rod won the MVP on the last place Texas Rangers in 2003, so I don't think it matters much.
