Although we call baseball and basketball "team" sports, many of the players consider their statistics much more important than their team winning games. For example, would Mr. HR Hitter prefer to hit 3 home runs in a game and lose, or to have 0 HR's and have his team win?

Gone are the days when a Mickey Mantle lays down an unexpected bunt for a base hit and advances a runner for the team.
