In Response To: Pete Rose (sunny)

"He didn't have a lot of smarts or natural talent - what he accomplished in baseball he did through sheer determination and hard work"

I agree he was a hard worker but I doubt that he didn't also have a lot of natural talent. Somehow hand-eye coordination is often overloooked as a possible natural talent.
