I wish I could find SI's 1975 Sportsman of the Year piece on Rose describing how even between innings of game 7 he was pounding his glove, shouting encouragement, and willing his team to win with his energy and confidence.
Another Rose story, he goes 6 for 8 in a doubleheader. Afterwards he gets the crew to leave the lights on and is taking practice. Someone sees him and ask him what the hell he is doing. He replies, they got me out twice.
