...verging on 30, and nearly a decade into running a jazz café with his wife Yoko. A journeyman American batter named Dave Hilton came to the plate for the Yakult Swallows, stroked the first pitch into left field, and safely reached second base. As he watched the batter swing at the ball, "I just felt all of a sudden that I could write," Murakami says, sitting today in his Tokyo office, a light jog away from the stadium...

When Ben Hogan won in 1953, Scots dubbed him the Wee Ice Man for his small stature and unflappable play. Tom Watson remained calm in 1975 despite failing to make a par on the 16th hole in all four rounds. And the defining image of the Open in 1999 will always be Jean Van De Velde ankle-deep in the water guarding the 18th green, squandering a three-shot lead on the final day by failing to play...
