Wonder if Shoeless Joe Ran Out Every Pop-Up

An idle thought just struck me by way of P.S. to my last post. In my lifetime, the baseball player who best exemplified everything Boston fans say they want in a sports hero -- the original unparalleled dirt dog, the guy who said the stat he most cared about was all the wins he'd been in -- was Pete Rose.

Which goes to show there's many more than one kind of motivation.
