There is a story probably true. Rose goes 6 for 8 in a double header. Afterwards, he persuaded someone to keep the lights on and someone to pitch to him, and is taking batting practice. Someone asks him what the hell he is doing, he went 6 for 8 that day. Rose says, they got me out twice.
Quote definitely true: "I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball."
It's a total shame his gambling addiction undid him.
