Good to have a day in the sun for him....the man is eating it up....good for him.

I've seen Pete Rose in Vegas twice. Once walking through the lobby. Once sitting by himself in the book at the horse racing section. Walked up to him and got an autograph. He was nice.

Most under 40 do not care or know who he is.

Does baseball have fans under 40?

I'm under 40 and am very much aware of who he is. C'mon.

Guess what? Everybody knows who Babe Ruth is and 95% of this country wasn't alive when he played.

Missing the point once again. Most under 40 do not know or care about Pete or if he should be in the HOF or reinstated or not. Or watched him play or manage.

As we all know, society only has people unuder 40....

My awareness of him came after his glory days. He always seemed like a grade A penis with a douchebag haircut. He hasn't dismissed that opinion post career

Running to 1st base on a walk...I mean C'MON...He is on the Mt. Rushmore of baseball D-Bags right next to Lenny Dykstra and Tony LaRussa.

I can pick a few things I do not like about Rose. Running to first on a walk is not one of them.

It's fake hey look at me bullshit. I felt that way as a kid and my view hasn't changed. Who else has done that amongst the thousands of major leaguers over the years?

I agree. It's false hustle and showboating. Some minor league manager should have taught that fuck how to jog briskly down to first. Why would you exert max effort for zero benefit? If a black dude had done it he would have been called a "hot dog". Fuck Pete Rose.

Fuck Pete Rose. He made his bed. I hope they leave him out.

When he was playing,I wonder how many kids stood up and said: "Look mommy,he hit a single!"

He wasn't even the 3rd or maybe 4th best player on his team during those "Red Machine" years.
Off the top of my head: Bench,Perez and Morgan. There were guys like Bobby Tolan,Griff Sr. and Hal Mcrae,Lee May all throwing in some big seasons in the mix also. Man what a team.

I remember him from the phillies mostly. he was a big personality on the field. chomping and spitting and clapping and hustling (obviously).

his act was very appealing to a kid.

too bad I missed his heyday..his stats are pretty amazing.

total jagoff though. IMO he bet on games he played in and managed. dude should be banned forever.

Nah, he's right ... who gives a flip about slappy hitters like Ichiro or Gwynn or Boggs or Carew or ......

Speaking of Rod Carew, I had this when I was a kid


TV Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxqOR_sldks

Neato. Didn't recall what it was 'til I watched that ad ... I think I may have tried it once or twice ... good idea if you want to learn to bat like Vlad and try to connect with everything within a three-block area of home plate.

6-12 year old boys don't,I can guarantee you that. Do you think America would have been thrilled by the McGuire-Sosa singles show?

Bagels,maybe your opinion of my opinion is ridiculous even for you .

Ichiro was the leading all-star vote recipient in 2001 (In his rookie season), 2002, and 2003. But you're right, nobody cared about him.

Too bad Ichiro didn't come to the US until he was 28. He would closing in on Roses record if had come in his early 20s.

Yes, a child is naturally going to love a guy with a haircut like Lloyd Christmas running around the field like a complete fucking moron.
