What does “Victory goes to the player who makes the next-to-last mistake” means to you ?

I think it means that victory goes to the person who doesn’t brag or be a butthole about them winning.

Explanation:

what can best be inferred from this excerpt is the pittsburgh pirates had a winning season in 1972., the specific information about the year is provided in the excerpt.

the other options are not correct because we can not assure that roberto clemente was the best since we don't know the information about the other players, there are no mentions about any specific fan either and it is clear that not many batters can make it to   3000 hits because it is mention as a high number.
