Destined to fire up the pro-/anti-Pete Rose flames again:

Mickey Mantle was quoted (by the Austin  paper) from his 
book, "The Mick", as saying:

"If I played my career hitting singles like Pete [Rose],
I'd wear a dress."

Rose could play, powered by ego, for the next thirty years,
and I still wouldn't call him even the best switch-hitter
of all time.
