...brassy, bristle-topped Irishman, whose flip tongue and frenetic brand of baseball have injected fresh breath into an increasingly stale game. His zest once branded him a showoff. "In the minors, they called me 'Hot Dog' and 'Hollywood,' " he snorts, "but they don't holler at me in the majors." They certainly don't. Spraying hits from either side of the plate, Rightfielder Rose has batted better than .300 in each of the past three seasons.

He can weep, holler and groan with the best, and though he pleads that his fan mail be sent to Godalming, Surrey, most listeners will wonder if it shouldn't go to Biloxi...
Unlike many Harvard coaches, on the other hand, Park is a holler guy. "I don't try to be a phony with the players," he said. "I tell them what's in my heart. I tell them what I believe." It is the conviction that a team which is only at half-strength physically, but is emotionally ready, will decimate an able-bodied but flat opponent...
