Bob,
I figured you or someone else would bring up the "intangibles" when I mentioned Rose. I will always prefer the fast horse to the horse with "heart" but I can appreciate the intangibles a little more when it comes to people. I coach youth sports and I definitely value those intangibles in a ballplayer.
Actually, Allen Barra has a great line in his book that fits nicely with this very topic.
"Some men inspire awe while others inspire confidence."
I think that sums it up pretty well.
Bonds inspires awe.
Rose inspired confidence.
