You can hear the regret in their voices that they'll never be able to apply what they learned here. I can just see in their minds that they're picturing all the at bats where they had missed opportunities.
Dude, Frank's realization alone of the whole 6 things section that Pete did was like seeing a man see the light for the first time and can't go back to batting practice ever again to apply it. It was cringe, but so awesome to watch.
He only bet on his own team to win, but still broke the biggest No No in baseball. Personally, let them all bet on their own team!!! I was raised a Reds fan in the 70's an Love Pete but they can't let him in till he passes an shouldn't let any steroid boys of summer in ever.
@@ThekiBoran ANd why should anybody care anymore? Nobody in the MLB today was around when he played. Nobody has been affected by what he did. The current commisionner should have no stake in it, nor should the majority of the HOF voters. Enough is enough. IN.
You can see why players like ARod and Frank Thomas were all-time greats. Even after their absolutely incredible careers, tens of thousands of at-bats, all the success in the world, they are curious to learn more or see another perspective. That's what true greats do. They have confidence in their abilities and of course an ego but there's also a humility in understanding that you can always learn more or something different that you can use. That's what turns great players into all-time great players.
I don't know whether he deserves to be in the hall or not. But he just articulated the art of hitting in two minutes that no coach ever told me about coming up.
I had to rewatch this after hearing the news. RIP to this legend. I hope sincerely he is finally put in the hall of fame. He always deserved to be there.
Jo Geo: kinda like bowling, always roll the ball the same, if the lane is dry, move up, if the lane is wet, “too much oil” move back on the approach, and throw the ball the same, Pete knew exactly what he is talking about!!!!
i would love to hear pete rose talk about hitting all day. the day pete can come back to mlb is the day i want him to be my team's hitting instructor. wow.
Got to give it to Frank and Alex. Paid much respect to Pete Rose. Pretty much all the questions bounced right to him. Even when Alex ask Frank a follow up question Frank asked Pete a question. Love it
Yes he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I have been watching baseball since the Orioles won the World Series in 1970 and I have never seen a better and more exciting player than Pete Rose! His passion and love for the game has no parallels.
I'm not a huge fan of A rod but watching this I have a different opinion . I see the " Boy " come out learning from a legend at hitting . Great work to the guys at FOX
Because, for all his faults, ARod wanted to be the best. That guy loves the game, and he was talking to the guy who hit more than anyone ever. Of course he will show that respect.
I literally got emotional watching this after only 30 secs, theres something so magical about listening/watching the greats talk about the sport they dominated in.
Kids, this is Frank Thomas and Alex Rodriguez - 1200+ career HRs between them - sitting at the learning tree when their elder’s giving hitting advice. That’s the kind of gravitas that Pete Rose had. 🥂
The baseball information and stats Rose knew off the top of his head was amazing to listen to. At first glance you think he's just an old-school baseball player by the way he talks about the game. But then you listen closely and realize he has a very technical grasp in the art of hitting. I very much like seeing Pete, Alex, and Frank together in these segments.
These three actually seem like they care about broadcasting. kudos to you Fox for finding three gems for analyzing pre and postgame along with kevin burkhardt being a great moderator for this. I'm a little salty that you took him away from SNY and my Mets but it worked out in the ned for both sides.
This shows Pete wasn't a master hitter by accident. And Kudos to A- Rod for asking solid pointed questions. A discussion of this high quality can shed light on other areas of life
Pete Rose would have been one of the best sportscasters, announcers, and or analysts of all time. His sharpness and knowledge of stats off the top of his head is second to none. Such a joy to listen to him. He could go on and on and keep it interesting. -Giants fan
I had such a crush on him in his day. He was the best catcher. Nothing ever got by him and his batting was unbelievable. The one who taught me also played pro until his Viet Nam draft number was 3 but he knew Pete’s moves in the box and that really does make you a great batter even if you’re a base hitter and a girl. The way he holds the bat, perfect. It gives your left hand a little somewhere to go when your right hand extends over as you follow through. Also, often the best pitch you’re going to get is the first pitch so be ready for it when it comes. I was crushed when he got caught betting. Many guys vet, he just got caught. It was hard watching him pushed out.
Pete was my Hero when I played in the mid 80's and 90's. I always thought baseball did him wrong. This man should be in the HOF. He will forever be a Hall of Famer in my book. They don't make players like this anymore. RIP Pete, I take comfort in knowing you finally have found it and it would be an injustice if Baseball decided to put you in know. They should build a baseball shrine and give you your own place for how they did you. That's my 2 cents on it
I love how arod is asking great questions and Pete is just spewing out these golden nuggets of information that makes legends like Thomas and arod admit they never thought of hitting or approaching situations like he did. The world lost one of the greatest ball players to ever do it today. I hope they finally put you in the HOF because you deserve it more than anyone right now.
Whoever decided to keep the camera rolling deserves an Emmy for this clip. Three HOF talents talking shop like nobody’s around. This was the single best advertisement FOX could have done with MLB.
watching this right after pete passed, what an unbelievable player with a ton of knowledge! kudos to Arod for all the questions too. both him and Frank looked like they were soaking it all in and wanted to get back out there!
I just learned more about hitting a baseball in the last couple of minutes watching this than I've ever known in my life! Absolutely legendary listening to these three men! 😊
That’s the beauty about baseball, size doesn’t matter he’s way smaller but has the mlb record for hits all time. Altuve just won an mvp award a year ago. You can be like Judge or Altuve and play this beautiful game.
Pete Rose autographed a baseball and gave it to my Dad on October 2, 1969 that reads "To Jerry Fields From Pete Rose & Thanks". For 53 years starting in April 1966 we had front row Braves seats in front of the visitors batting circle. At the final game of the '69 season Pete was battling for the title with Roberto Clemente and Pete was 0 for 3 and Clemente was 3 for 3, percentage points ahead. My dad took a transistor radio to every game so we could listen to Ernie Johnson and Milo Hamilton. As Pete strolled to the plate, Milo came on the radio and said (knowing my dad had the radio) "If anyone down there has a radio tell Pete that Clemente was 3 for 3 and he needed a hit to win the title". We screamed that to Pete who promptly laid down a bunt and beat it out for an infield hit. After the game Pete came up to us and signed the baseball. Funny ending was my dad thanked him for the ball and said he would really like to get a bat from him to which Pete replied: "$hit, I wouldn't give my mother a bat" and walked off.
I hate that they took pete rose from basaball all this years his a genius and funny,please never again .Our kids need to know who he is .PLEASE! !!! Enough is Enough.
I say it every time I watch it, and I will continue to say it. Listening to this made me smile so much. 3 geniuses in the game, hate 2 of them for whatever reason you want but you can’t deny their baseball minds. Listening to them speak? Man I love this.
@@lorenzohaynes3886 Just remember - Steroids good, betting bad. Betting is so horrible he needs to be black listed while using roids to cheat at the game? Well as long as the press doesn't hear about it time to look the other way.
"Never change your swing. Your swing got you into the big leagues." - Pete Rose
Not for jose bautista
I agree. Swing coaches are oftentimes overrated. Never helped Charles Barkley.
Ethan Weeter haha
I agree sometimes you got to do you, swing the bat the way you swing it.
Frank Thomas changed his swing later in his career, had his best season in a few years
The best line of this clip is Frank Thomas "That's Church. That's why you got 4,200 hits." Frank was giving Pete the utmost respect.
Facts
As Walter Brennan would say, “ no brag, just fact”
Frank's praise wasn't even close to the best thing uttered in this clip
MANCHESTER UNITED. I’d like to see u hit a baseball
@MANCHESTER UNITED Nobody cares. We're here because it's baseball, not soccer.
I could listen to Pete Rose talk baseball all day. He is a gem.
same shame he made a mistake and isnt part of the game
And Pedro Martinez talking pitching.
Alex Rodriguez, Pete Rose and Pedro Martinez, are the best talkers in baseball
THIS
5:06 stayed up last night? pitcher's tired. turned in early? pitcher's hyped. this man has that trump confidence lol
Came to watch this after Pete passed away today. RIP
Same
Same here
Pete is an encyclopedia of baseball. The stats he reels off is impressive. He loves the game so much as you can tell he loves talking baseball
He remembers the pitcher the pitch the count the score etc
My God, two guys with 500 home runs were just blown away by Rose and his approach to hitting.
AROIDS
Zeeshan Hamid He may have used steroids, but Alex Rodriguez was still a very talented hitter
His days with Texas and Seattle were undeniable IMO and I can't stand the guy
You can hear the regret in their voices that they'll never be able to apply what they learned here. I can just see in their minds that they're picturing all the at bats where they had missed opportunities.
Dude, Frank's realization alone of the whole 6 things section that Pete did was like seeing a man see the light for the first time and can't go back to batting practice ever again to apply it. It was cringe, but so awesome to watch.
Should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame?
Amazing knowledge in that circle ..YES Pete Rose shud be in HOF
Yes!
As a player, yes. Unfortunately, he never will. He MIGHT be honored in some fashion after he passes.
He only bet on his own team to win, but still broke the biggest No No in baseball. Personally, let them all bet on their own team!!! I was raised a Reds fan in the 70's an Love Pete but they can't let him in till he passes an shouldn't let any steroid boys of summer in ever.
FOX Sports he should but he did steriods so idk but he deserve it tho
Put this man in the Hall before he dies. The sport owes him that much.
The problem is he lied about his betting on baseball for years and years.
Kroban3 has nothing to do with his stats as a player
@@Kreamations
Pete Rose and the giant poop stain he left on the game will not be forgotten, HOF or not.
@@ThekiBoran ANd why should anybody care anymore? Nobody in the MLB today was around when he played. Nobody has been affected by what he did. The current commisionner should have no stake in it, nor should the majority of the HOF voters. Enough is enough. IN.
Kroban3 he always betted on his team to win. He never intentionally threw a game for money and that was evident.
You can see why players like ARod and Frank Thomas were all-time greats. Even after their absolutely incredible careers, tens of thousands of at-bats, all the success in the world, they are curious to learn more or see another perspective. That's what true greats do.

Well said. The best are obsessed!
I don't know whether he deserves to be in the hall or not. But he just articulated the art of hitting in two minutes that no coach ever told me about coming up.
All that knowledge he has couldn't make his son a major leaguer. It's about talent. Some have it and the overwhelming majority don't.
How don’t you have an opinion on it? All he did was bet that his own team would win lol
@@mikej810Not cool, his son had ligma
Man, I wish I had seen this video when I was younger. I was in such a bad slump it turned me away from the game. I used to hit 3rd, always
This might be some of the best TV I've seen all year. This is really great.
Outside the NBA is good too with Barkley and Kenny Smith. Both of these shows are amazing.
NBAGOATS Inside the NBA you mean
Shut up Essien!
Charlie Hustle. RIP.
This is some of the best insight you will ever get. Period.
Amen. This was church and the good Lord spoke.
Preach, Pete. Preach!
Noah Atnikov I agree this guy's baseball smarts is through the roof you can tell that the two really great hitters are blown away
Exactly
Gotta love Arods expression throughout this segment, he's so interested in a legends advice
WHeightzDiplomat Great players never stop learning. That said, I'm not sure if there's anything left about hitting for Pete Rose to learn.
a legend being taught by a legend
Duct Tape Thomas didn't juice
Thomas never used PED's
Agreed. He was a mountain of a man basically his entire life. If he ever used juice I don't think he would have been able to move lol.
You know Pete Rose is Old School Major League bc he says "Switch Batter" instead of "Switch Hitter."
Legend 😎
I had to rewatch this after hearing the news. RIP to this legend. I hope sincerely he is finally put in the hall of fame. He always deserved to be there.
No he doesn't. He committed the cardinal sin, and never owned up to it.
I just hit 2HR in Alice Springs, Australia, keeping the same swing and moving in the batter box. THANKS TO THIS VIDEO!
Jo Geo: kinda like bowling, always roll the ball the same, if the lane is dry, move up, if the lane is wet, “too much oil” move back on the approach, and throw the ball the same, Pete knew exactly what he is talking about!!!!
NICE!!!!
I could listen to Pete talking baseball all day!
i would love to hear pete rose talk about hitting all day. the day pete can come back to mlb is the day i want him to be my team's hitting instructor. wow.
tim w he would be the best to hsve as a batting coach for a team. he would be so awesome
Frank Thomas would be a pretty good one as well.
Got to give it to Frank and Alex. Paid much respect to Pete Rose. Pretty much all the questions bounced right to him. Even when Alex ask Frank a follow up question Frank asked Pete a question. Love it
That will be an iconic piece of television decades down the road. I felt privileged to have seen it.
This is really baseball gospel. Two legends learning from the hit king. Only true baseball nerds can appreciate this
This has to be one of the greatest conversations between MLB hitters in the history of television.
the greatest.
@@kevinarroliga1758 ok
Yes he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I have been watching baseball since the Orioles won the World Series in 1970 and I have never seen a better and more exciting player than Pete Rose! His passion and love for the game has no parallels.
Ya gotta love their baseball knowledge and sense of humor. Rose was the best.
Probably the best 6 minutes of hitting advice you could ever get.
I'm not a huge fan of A rod but watching this I have a different opinion . I see the " Boy " come out learning from a legend at hitting . Great work to the guys at FOX
Steve Grandy Fair enough
totally agree.
It’s nice too see great players asking questions. And generally being interested in the guys who cane before them.
I don't see how ANYONE that likes baseball is a fan of A ROD. HE CHEATED! Steroids part or all of your career, it doesn't matter. YOU CHEATED
Because, for all his faults, ARod wanted to be the best. That guy loves the game, and he was talking to the guy who hit more than anyone ever. Of course he will show that respect.
I literally got emotional watching this after only 30 secs, theres something so magical about listening/watching the greats talk about the sport they dominated in.
Talking “baseball” is a lost art. Now it’s all about talking analytics. SMH 🤦🏿♂️
Thats some of the best hitting advice in the shortest amount of time you will ever see. Every kid who plays should be shown this.
Pete got more gems than a jeweler ! I love how they were in quiet awe of him !!!
Kids, this is Frank Thomas and Alex Rodriguez - 1200+ career HRs between them - sitting at the learning tree when their elder’s giving hitting advice. That’s the kind of gravitas that Pete Rose had. 🥂
The sharpest baseball mind in the world. Pete is a legend.
I LOVE Pete Rose, I could listen to his stories ALL-DAY

These three actually seem like they care about broadcasting. kudos to you Fox for finding three gems for analyzing pre and postgame along with kevin burkhardt being a great moderator for this. I'm a little salty that you took him away from SNY and my Mets but it worked out in the ned for both sides.
I love how Pete is passing his skills to another generation, despite both players are retired.
This shows Pete wasn't a master hitter by accident. And Kudos to A- Rod for asking solid pointed questions. A discussion of this high quality can shed light on other areas of life
Really good hitting talk!
man what a gem. pete rose is something else.
3 of the greatest EVER!!! Great job guys!!
3 legends sharing their secrets. Awesome insight from all of them!

Great to hear Pete with excitement and heart. I could have watched this forever. We need more of this stuff with the old timers
Pete is fantastic talking about hitting.
Hit king
I love how two of the best hitters in the last 25 years are sitting there drinking in every word Rose is saying about hitting!
I could listen to Pete talk batting all day every day.
I had such a crush on him in his day. He was the best catcher. Nothing ever got by him and his batting was unbelievable.

Your right, Pete was a great catcher with his bat. I'm just glad he practiced the philosophy of catch and release.
Thank you Fox for letting us hear all this wisdom and history. Pete is one of a kind.
2 legends showing respect to a legend.. class act
Love this advice! 👏🏻
Matt! If only you had reached out to Pete Rose, eh? All those coaches who tried to change your swing, man.
@@doesnotexist305 "SWING DOWN!!!"
A-Rod is totally underrated as an analyst and commentator. Way too much hate for a guy this smart and articulate.
I loved the 2016 playoffs.

These guys still learning bout baseball after retirement makes me wanna cry
RIP LEGEND PETE ROSE MAN A LEGEND TO ALL OUR LIVES MAN 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
This is amazing. Could watch these guys talk for hours.
I just learned more about hitting a baseball in the last couple of minutes watching this than I've ever known in my life! Absolutely legendary listening to these three men! 😊
Every year have to watch this video at least one time. RIP to
Pete Rose.
Alex just wants answers lol
“PETE FIX MY SWING”
Where's the full segment? This was great.
i don't think it's a full segment, maybe like after the show or in-between commercial. it wasn't aired, but the camera was kept on record.
I think Rose is one of the best baseball analyst out there now also he is probably one of the best baseball minds out there!
He gives all of the credit to his father.. His dad started with him at a very young age. Too bad Pete Jr, wasnt born with his dads talent.
I’m NOT a Pete Rose guy. But listening to him talk, and how rapt A-Rod and Big Hurt (Who was GOOD) are is incredible.
Hitting is an art.
This literally blew my mind, so simple yet so brilliant
I know pete is old but man look at the size of frank Thomas and Arod, it's like they didn't play the same sport
Collin Fischman Frank has always looked like a prototypical NFL tight end.
Tight end! more like a Dl
That’s the beauty about baseball, size doesn’t matter he’s way smaller but has the mlb record for hits all time. Altuve just won an mvp award a year ago. You can be like Judge or Altuve and play this beautiful game.
He would crouch down too so his strike zone was pea sized
A-roid has a pin head. That thing is tiny.
and this is why Rose should have been in the hof a long time ago...he is a baseball genius and the #mlb need him back as much as he needs the mlb
Watching these 3 legends breakdown the bat box is amazing
"Anything that's bad for a pitcher, I like" lmao Rose was epic
Rip Pete, you are truly missed.
ive only started watching baseball and i find this fascinating
awesome well theres 3 legends right there but only one Hall of famer
Baseball is a wonderful game
You are learning from the greatest..
4:38 cool question Alex
A-Rod should interview people, I like the questions he asks
Pete Rose autographed a baseball and gave it to my Dad on October 2, 1969 that reads "To Jerry Fields From Pete

Frank is still freaking huge

I could listen to Pete talk baseball all day long. Watch the Jim Day interviews with him, fascinating!
Pete rose explaining his hitting and position on the bat to two legends and they're blown away like wow
The dive into home plate with the catcher standing in the way. No one did it better than Pete Rose.
I hate that they took pete rose from basaball all this years his a genius and funny,please never again .Our kids need to know who he is .PLEASE! !!! Enough is Enough.

How was he a cheater??? Lol
@@BoleDaPole cheater? Who bet on his own team? Are you really THAT dumb????
Pete Rose will always be part of Major League Baseball!!!⚾⚾❤❤
Pete taught me more about the game of baseball in this video than I learned watching Hawk Harrelson call games for 20+ years for the White Sox.
I say it every time I watch it, and I will continue to say it. Listening to this made me smile so much. 3 geniuses in the game, hate 2 of them for whatever reason you want but you can’t deny their baseball minds. Listening to them speak? Man I love this.
I LOVE learning from legends! More of this please!
Rest in peace Charlie Hustle.

Possibly the best piece of baseball commentary ever filmed.
Pete puts everything so perfectly. I love hearing Pete Rose talk.
I had to come straight here. RIP legend.
