Your Definition
A wild and desperate attempt to [make a play]. Sometimes the term carries a hint of showboating. Babe Ruth (_Babe Ruth's Own Book of Baseball_, 1928) defined "giving it [the old college try]" as "playing to the grandstand or making strenuous effort to field a ball that obviously cannot be handled." The term was quickly applied to any effort with limited chances of success. From _The New Dickson Baseball [Dictionary]_ (1999) by Paul Dickson. http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/13/messages/1162.html
