Growing up I was not a fan of Pete Rose cause he played for the Reds, Phillies, and Expos. I respected his play on the field, and believe he should be in the HOF.

Meeting Pete Rose, wow. Did Pete play in the fantasy camp that year?

This show proves that eventually everyone on the planet will have a podcast.

Go Trump, ty Doug.

Doug your a class act,honest and refreshing

Merry Christmas Doug and family! Go Reds Go Cats

No, we are not reliant on something that cant be demonstrated to exist. We can use objective reasoning based on criteria like well-being, concent, and harm to figure it out whether something is morally accepted or not. Why does there have to be an absolute anything? Life is complicated. Situations are complex. But based on the above we can get a fantastic framework to base things off of.

Great show with Max, Doug! So proud of and happy for you in how you are proclaiming life in Jesus Christ. Congratulations. Take care, my friend.

Wow,Doug Flynn!I remember when you played for the Mets and would always pull on your eyelashes when batting and playing the field.I always thought your defense should have gotten you to be an all star game often.when you played for the Mets,my favorite team,I was a kid and now I'm 61.wow how time flys.God bless you.

Pete signed with the Phillies in December 1978 for 3.2 million for four years, approximately $800,000 a year Dick Williams was not the general manager of the Reds at that time.

This is the most pivotal election in our history. It astounds me how so many cannot see that our current government is being controlled by entities that do not care about you or me, or humanity in general. All they are concerned with is using us to further their wealth and power.

Doug my feelings are vote for whoever you want to vote for just vote and Dont let two complete strangers destroy friendships and relationships

Very nice of Doug to try to put a positive spin onto Rose, but on balance he was a very bad guy. And. Sorry to tell you, Jesus is not helping now or ever. But you're a classy guy, Doug. I really liked you with the Mets when I was just old enough to follow.

The Doug Flynn Show? Wow. I liked Flynn as a tremendous fielding second baseman on the Mets. Haven't heard from Flynn in decades. And now I just ran into this.

Doug Flynn is a good man.

Very eloquently stated, Mr. Doug Flynn. Pete Rose may not have been the best, most graceful athlete in the world. However, nobody put forth more effort on a baseball field than #14. The nickname Charlie Hustle fit him to a tee. Bench, Perez, Morgan, Foster, Griffey, Concepcion, and Geronimo all make great contributions to those Reds teams. But there would have been NO Big Red Machine without Pete. He was the catalyst. And let's not forget, he put the Philadelphia Phillies over the top in 1980. Helping them to a World Championship. For his play on the field, he should be in the Hall of Fame. Sure, he made mistakes after his playing career. But all of us are flawed human beings. We all make mistakes. Let (s)he who without sin cast the first stone.

Doug I tell my son he wasn’t the greatest hitter of all time he was the best baseball player of all time. And let’s find God and Jesus Christ in our youth.

Doug just discovering your channel today. I am a lifelong Mets fan. You are one of my favorite 2B of all time. I loved that late 70s Mets era when you came over with Steve Henderson, the late Pat Zachary and Dan Norman

Amen Doug! We need to get back to God!

Praise a man who cheated, Pete Rose is a cheater period.

People say they hate Trump.... like they personally know him. If your voting based on PERCEIVED personality instead of the policies they promote, you're a moron. Sorry to say.

i look at pete roses gamling mistake alot like president nixon and watergate he got pardon and forgivinen

It is shocking how many cannot see what's taking place right before our very eyes. How can anyone vote against their best interests and the livelihood of themselves and the future lives of their children and grandchildren. Everything you are saying, Doug, makes things crystal clear.

Doug, you should do a show about all the funny stuff that has happened at Reds Baseball Heaven. Some really hilarious stuff! Agreed, don't let that rectangular box in your living room control your thought process or your concept of the truth. It is propaganda of the highest order. A narrative that the elite forcefeed you every day. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK AND THE CHOICE WILL BE CLEAR! This is the most consequential election of our lifetime. This is for all the marbles, folks. A fight for the soul of a nation.

invite me on!

I enjoy your show

Pete Rose needs to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. We all need to tell the people at the Baseball Hall of fame what the fans want. Remember No Man is perfect in this world.

He broke the spirit of the game. Responsible position. Ultimate Showman. Tough

Growing up in the 70's Pete was my favorite player, Yankees fan but Pete was it. I was a lead off guy and modeled my stance after his.

Good show Doug - None of us are free of behaviorial challenges - we've all done things we don't talk about - passed circumstances cant be undone - we gotta keep movin

Doug, i played 2nd base in little league and my dad would take me to see you play during spring training in 76 and 77. I thought it was the coolest thing to chat with you and Pete about the game and i was proud as a peacock to show my buddies your autographs. About 2 years after that Billy Graham came to Tampa stadium and i received Jesus as my personal Savior. Thank you for your segment on Pete. You presented it with class just like the gentleman you are and Pete was.

Greetings from Lexington!!! I was a Riverfront Stadium kid in the 70's. Always great to hear from Mr. Flynn. Big Red Machine Forever! Go Big Blue!

Pete Rose was a scumbag. An absolute low-life that deserved everything he got, and got everything he deserved. Here's looking down at ya! Hot enough for ya?

Amen

i want to come on the show to talk about everything..bring me on!

Pete Rose was making 700 grand a year in Philadelphia

Oh, I've been more than fiery since 2019. Humanity is largely clueless to what is really happening on planet earth. There is a war for the soul of humanity on full throttle! Agreed, Doug. God does not want his people to just sit back and let things happen. God IS in control but expects his people to take a stand for what is right and act on it!

Yes a great ball player …….BUT let’s look at the entire picture ……doesn’t the Hall of Fame examine a person’s character? …….lets see -1- in jail for tax evasion -2- gambling on baseball -3- sex with a young girl ( 14 or 15 ) - Rose claims she was 16 years old- by the way Rose was in his thirties and married with children …….and people want to honour him with a plaque !!!

Doug I never saw you play a Major League Baseball game, but I did see you play in a USSSA softball World Series in 1985 in Greensboro, NC.

I absolutely love, that someone's standing up for Pete. Society is so hypocritical. He made a mistake, like we all do. Stop acting holyer than thow.

FUN FACTS: * The Big Red Machine never won a World Series without Doug Flynn. * While Doug did win a Gold Glove with the Mets, he hit .275 as a Red, including a 10-game hitting streak in '76. * Of all the runs Doug scored as a Red, the teammate that drove him in the most? Yup....Pete Rose. (11 times)

Wow, this was amazing. So good to see & hear you, Doug. As a kid growing up in NJ, the Big Red Machine very much WAS my childhood. First, I'm so terribly sorry to hear about your sister's disappearance. How utterly heart-breaking. I'd never heard anything about that. I can't even imagine. It was so good listening to your recollections of Pete. And what a lasting gift that you have the love of your life, thanks in large measure to him. I remember every one of you guys, right down to the youngest player on those championship teams, Manny Sarmiento. Thank you for your contributions to that great team, for the immeasurable excitement and the wonderful memories. And thanks for taking the time for this tribute to Pete and for sharing it with us.

Great Words Doug. I grew up a Die Hard Chicago White Sox fan. There was something special about Pete and every time I could see him on TV playing the Cubs I watched. Taking a look at Pete you wouldn’t think he was the ball player he was. He showed every person who watched him that you too could do anything you want to do in life but it’s going to take everything you have and then some. I never seen a better competitor or more determined player to ever come close to Pete. After his career I loved hearing him talk and it was usually about the game we all love. Yes he made mistakes but haven’t we all and it seems we have people who defend murderers far more better. I often thought due to Pete’s competitive nature that was second to none he needed gambling to be able to compete. Even if he bet on the Reds while managing nobody proved he rigged the game or lineup to cover his bets. Regardless it’s a loss that hurts deep because he loved this game so deeply. The game needed Pete and Pete needed the game but I hope he knew just how much he was loved. Lineups are posted early and numerous commercials or advertising at the ballparks today wanting people to bet. I’m glad you saw the side of Pete may forget and you met your wife through him.

I liked Flynn as a NY Met’👏🤩

I remember when Doug got traded to Ny Mets fo Tom Seaver.

He wasn't there for the money? He left the Reds for more money when the Reds were on the brink of winning another one -- see 1979-1981. The Reds should have at least one more trophy in the case from those years. I don't blame him for leaving, but he was there for the money. He was gambling on the game. He could have easily bet on other sports and not been banned permanently. He could have at least just bet on every other team in MLB other than the Reds, and he would have missed only 1 year and history would be all different in terms of Pete Rose. Instead, he not only bet on the Reds games, but he cast the first stone by blaming MLB for a witch hunt, and blamed the investigator and reporters for years that they were all "after him" and that they created the evidence. He painted a good story too and had many believers. Going easy on him wouldn't have been so hard either if he just came out with the truth all those years later. However, he failed to do that time and time again with half truths and his sad stories about all the commissioners being against him. MLB and any fans on this side of the fence did not make that bed that he made for himself. Did Pete love the game? Sure he did. He was all in and that's what made fans love him too. His style was hard nosed every day on every play. Does MLB love baseball? Sure it does. Upholding this rule that was put in place due to the biggest scandal that almost ended the sport shows that they love the game too just as much as Rose did. Can you imagine if the rule was a player or manager will be banned for 10 years? Even Hall of Famers might be intrigued at that point in their last couple years of their career to start betting and throw games just to squeeze the last bit of money out of the game knowing they're getting in anyway. I am glad that most players have the decency not to go down this betting road (hall of famer or not). Pete could have had chances for reinstatement but his apologies were all hollow. He always had some comment that what he did wasn't as bad as what someone else did. This issue is about Pete and what he did and no one else and it's the only rule that clearly states the punishment. Also, MLB is not using Fanduel and all the other gambling sites to promote gambling by their managers and players. They are promoting it for the fans to bet, just like they sell beer in the stadiums. I don't see the players being allowed to chug beers in between innings even though MLB has ads all over the stadium, sell it in the stadium, and the ads are all over the streams of every game. MLB will be wiped off the planet by the NFL and every other league if they didn't get on board with the country's legalization of betting. It's a sad fact, but nevertheless, it's a fact. Either way, MLB is not promoting their managers and players to bet on the games by doing so, nor are they breaking rule 21 that's in place, because these betting sites are all legal. The rule clearly states what happens to those who use illegal ways to gamble.

Thank you for your insight into the story of Pete rose, your service to the Mets and your beautiful gospel message!

Thank you Mr. Flynn for this podcast. Really great to hear your perspective. Loved watching you play for the Mets and glad you're doing so well.

Thank you!

Pete would come to Cooperstown during induction weekend & would set up a table on Main Street to do autographs. Always saw a line of fans wanting to meet him.⚾️⚾️
