When the fake smoke cleared and the game wrapped, it was revealed that Captain Comeback recorded more "kills" than anyone else in the party. Harbaugh won. Because he always wins. But upon further examination of where each person's shots came from, it became clear why he won in such a landslide.

"All his shots came against this 10-year-old kid," laughs Eric Bakhtiari, who played for Harbaugh in college and in the NFL with the 49ers. "He just sat there, hunting this 10-year-old kid so he could win.

The first story comes from the gym, where Harbaugh "would will himself" to keep up with a very in-shape Baalke, matching his GM's pushup counts and bench press reps.

The second comes from the racquetball court, where Harbaugh, because of his age and beat-up NFL-weathered knees, shouldn't have been able to keep up with Baalke. When the two started playing, Harbaugh struggled. But eventually, he found a flaw in Baalke's game. And he relentlessly attacked it, finally beating the GM. "He couldn't walk for two days after that," is how one witness described the fallout for the coach. Yet, he won, and that's what mattered.
