I like Pete Rose's competitive spirit and the way he always played to win.This was fully exemplified in the 1970 All Star Game when he scored the game winning run for the National League:
Pete Rose Winning Run - 1970 All Star Game
He was quoted as saying after the game "Nobody told me they changed it to girls’ softball between third and home.” Contrast Pete Rose's play in the game against the way present day players treat it as a friendly exhibition against their union buddies.
