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 know or care about Pete or if he should be in the HOF or reinstated or not. Or watched him play or manage. |

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 |

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

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. |

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. |

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. |

Ichiro was the leading all-star vote recipient in 2001 (In his rookie season), 2002, and 2003.

He would closing in on Roses record if had come in his early 20s. |
