Speaking of Pete Rose here is Gary Templeton's Highlight card for being the first MLB player to get 100 hits from boths sides of the plate something Rose never did even with the 10 seasons of 200+ hits.
Templeton was a great shortstop for the Cards in the late 70's but his personality was always a problem. One example: In 1979 he wasn't voted a starting spot on the National League All-Star team so he said the immortal words: "If I ain't startin', I ain't departin". Two years later he was in San Diego. He went from a .305 hitter with the Cards to a .252 with the Padres.
