A full breakdown of his career in less than 30 minutes, Pete Rose would appreciate that kind of hustle.
This comment is so underrated 😂
Ol RUclips hustle, they call him
please please … there is like 100 players that deserve that
Yeah definitely great player. But thai Charley Hustle moniker suited him because he was definitely a hustler
He ruined Ray Fosse's career. Cooperstown doesn't need Charlie Hustle...the dirtiest player in the game.
My dad had a fun Pete Rose Story. In the Summer of 1975, give or take a year, the Reds came to New York to play the Mets. My dad, from queens was with a group of his friends at the hotel the Reds were staying at. Recognizing Pete, he asked if he can get a autograph. Pete didn't just say no, he flipped him off with a double finger salute, and left the lobby. He couldn't believe a pro athlete would flip off a 15 year old.
Edit. I asked him about it again, and he said he remembers seeing Pete leave with 2 women around his arms, so I can see why he was in a hurry.
Sounds very Jose Canseco-like
Ur dad and his friends were 15 year olds with a hotel room? Lol
@@GeneralBuckNaked back then you hung out outside your house.
Pete's always been trash
@Mitch Qumstein
Is your name pronounced "Cum-stain" genius ?
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.
W story
Holy shit man, that's awesome 😂 I could definitely see Pete saying something like that. What a boss?
@@LogicallyKnot Thanks for your reply: Another funny thing about it is that during an interview about that day, Pete said that the reason he laid down the bunt was because Clete Bowyer, playing third, "winked" at him as if to say for him to lay down a bunt. How would Clete know he needed the hit?
@@cigarmerchant2238
Perhaps they had a radio in the dugout. Or he heard you too 😂
Ha! Funny story.
Amazed you haven't done an episode about Sammy Sosa yet. The man is beloved by fans everywhere but utterly despised by both the Cubs and the MLB. Plus he's pink now, so, that's an interesting talking point.
Sammy the steroid king.
That sponsor is perfect for this topic.
The irony was on point
I caught that too lolol
I heard baseball doesn't exist guy bets on if his videos do well or not. Just sayin'
@@1987higgs only on if they do well, he isn’t a Black Sock
69 likes nice
Met Pete a few weeks ago in Tennessee at a card show. Been a Reds fan since a kid in 1985. No doubt he's got issues. What struck me meeting him though was in the may 1 minute speaking to him he talked batting stances the whole time. I had a Griffey Jr. jersey on and he kept talking about how smooth his swing was, that if he could teach one swing it would be Jrs and broke down Jr's hand positioning before swinging. It was honestly pretty cool. At 46 I barely remember him playing but do remember him managing.
You can say a lot of bad things about Rose, and he has done a lot of bad things, but without question the man knows the game of baseball.
I remember him playing and managing. He was one of the greatest. Jr. was as well. His biggest mistake was going to the National League. He should have stayed in the AL and became a DH later in his career. If he had I feel like he would have had a chance to break the home run record…..steroid free.
@@patrickmorgan4006
He definitely does. Had he not screwed up the Reds would have dominated the early 90’s
@@jefferyepstein9210 they still won a World Series in a sweep in 1990. So you’re most likely right in your assertion since the Braves became the dominant NL team of the 90s instead
fellow 80’s Cinci fan here! 🤙🏼
I would have worded it this way at the end: "As a player, Pete Rose was a fan favorite for his hustle. Since retirement, he stayed relevant, in large part, for his hustle."
The first time I saw Pete play , I was 9 yrs old and he was 19 , in 1960. I told my dad that guy can play hard. This was in Auburn NY when he played for the Geneva NY Reds. On the field, always my favorite.
[After covering 47 fascinating years] "And this is where Pete Rose's life got interesting."
I chuckled at that one
So basically his rookie year Pete Rose was one of the least racist guys on his team
Maybe, but the three black players seem like the least racist on that team; they accepted him when no one else would. That said, of all the things he's been accused of over the years, being racist is not among them.
Veterans don't like players who go way out of their way to perform. Makes them look bad. They don't want their standards raised.
Let nobody ever say that Robert Ybarra cannot find the silver lining in a story. Well done Sir!
Same! Between this channel and Jomboy I am loving baseball content on RUclips haha
@@someperson8151 yes but you gotta admit that they were racist and nothing else
Really had a casino as his sponsor 💀
Injuring another player in the all star game (especially when the game didn’t affect anything) was a shitty thing to do
You shouldn't do that move even if that game did have an effect... I never understood baseball fans like you who always tried to justify this kinda behavior if it was for an important game 🤦♂️
"in an insane twist, Giamatti died."
Who could've seen that one coming?
Giamatti was too decent a man to be Commissioner, tbf
Better for him to go while his reputation remained intact

Everything they say about Rose is completely true. But in Philadelphia after 97 years of existence, the Phillies, the team with the most losses in MLB with over 11,000, finally won their first World Series. The man probably most responsible for this win was Pete Rose. The play he made in Game 6 which won the Phillies the Series was the play before the last out when Pete made an unbelievable hustle catch of a foul ball that was muffed by catcher Bob Boone.
The thing about Pete Rose is you have to figure that what we know about is just the tip of the iceberg, because the guy is clearly such a compulsive liar and degenerate gambler and everything else. I’m sure he got away with everything he possibly could, and lied about it endlessly.
It’s really a shame though, because Pete Rose really was a unique, legendary, and amazing baseball player. His B-R page is just mind-blowing, and it’s tough to imagine any modern player equaling his output.
He has the all time hit record, that’s about the only thing that stands out on his page. 160HRs, 198SB, career .303BA and .784OPS. He has the all time hits record because he played WAY past his prime for the sole purpose of getting the record. He’s the most overrated player of all time. A compulsive cheater, liar, and Pedo who has always believed himself to be more important than the game.
Pete Rose was actually my assistant gym teacher when I was in elementary school in the early 1990s going to a school in the Cincy ghetto. It was part of his community service. At the time, I wasn't really into any sports, so I just knew he was a famous baseball player who had gotten into trouble with the law. I never had any real conversations with him, but he seemed nice enough, and he was the first famous person I had ever met.
The original Kenny Powers
uh huuuUUUUUuuuuh that was Paul Rose, silly. Not PETE ROSE. He never taught at some high school gym class man....lol. That would have been a HUGE distraction for the kids and the school. "Oh, Michael Jordan is teaching basketball in the gym!!" that would be the same sort of deal. Pete was perhaps the biggest athlete in sports then, I seriously doubt he was chilling in a high school for a few weeks. That would be national news. (UPDATE!) My bad--I just read that happened! Damn, I sure wish he came to my school, I tell ya.

Pete Rose is his own worst enemy..
So true. No one has done more to keep him out of the Hall than he has.
Peter Edward Rose thought he was above the law and above the rules of Major League Baseball. He deserves the purgatory he created for himself.
@@DNSKansas that's arguable. Out of all his misdoings you can only say 1 or maybe 2 situations that should be looked at for being in the HoF... come down off your high horse.
@@EtTuSilver Yes... yes we are.
Deserves to be in the HOF regardless
I hope you'll do a video on the late great Thurman Munson (7-time AL All-Star catcher who won several awards, including 1970 AL Rookie of the Year and 1976 AL MVP) being shut out of Cooperstown, despite playing 11 years in MLB with a career .290 batting average before his career was cut short by a life-ending plane crash in late 1979. It's understandable banning Charlie Hustle Rose from MLB and Cooperstown for what he did, but it is 100% criminal neglect for leaving out one of the greatest catchers to EVER play the game. Thurman's career batting average is even better than Carlton Fisk's.
There’s a great Carlton Fisk vs Thurman Munson beef episode by Secret Base
Munsons plane crash was close to where I grew up. Outside Canton. Great player. We used to drive by the crash site all the time. Funny thing when I got older I was in special forces and my oldest son is a fighter pilot.
I'm not even a Yankees fan and I argue Thurman belongs in Cooperstown
I'm a Yankees fan, but I think because his career was cut short is why he's not in Cooperstown. Plus probably the bar for best hitting catchers(this doesn't include defensive metrics) who's currently in the hall of fame would be like yogi berra(if you want to stick with other Yankees catchers) or someone like Mike Piazza, Pudge(Ivan) Rodriguez, Johnny Bench etc. They had far more home runs and RBIs and better or just about equivalent BAs. I loved Munson and the Yankee teams he played on(I was born in 92 so this is just speaking retrospectively), but he just doesn't have the longevity because of his tragic death. His accolades for all-star, WS/playoff wins, RotY, MVP, and 3x gold Glover are really his largest merit to lean on, but half of those are also team driven awards. He wouldn't have RotY or MVP honors if he'd been playing on the braves or white Sox for example the year he won MVP. He played 11 seasons with only 113 home runs and 701 RBIs. That's barely 10 HRs and 70 RBIs a season. Hardly Cooperstown worthy. Fisk played for more than twice as many years, has more than 3x as many home runs, almost double the RBIs and about twice as many hits. I could go on, but the combo of before Piazza holding the record for career HRs as a catcher means he hit for power, and also has more than twice as many plate appearances shows the difference in BA isn't quite statically significant enough to use that as metric for Thurman Munson's Cooperstown appeal. Again, Munson's main attributes are his defensive metrics, which someone like Buster Posey for example now shatters, and Munson's playoff accolades. If we could extrapolate his first 11 seasons into his next 11 seasons, he still would only be on the cusp of entering to being Cooperstown worthy. Really, being a catcher in the MLB is probably the hardest position to get into the hall of fame with because unfortunately defensive metrics, unless supremely outlandish, aren't held in as high regard as offensive metrics. And unfortunately, playing catcher in MLB is a defensive first position. That's why Piazza still holds the record for most career HRs by a catcher at 399. Bonds almost doubled this number, granted he played 6 more seasons because he played OF, but that's also another issue with catchers... like Buster Posey is a great example, longevity is incredibly hard to come by. Injuries derailed Posey's career.
I think a better equivalent to Munson would be someone like Yadier Molina. Was a great hitter, played for like 19 seasons(which is basically unheard of for catchers), but wasn't a huge home run hitter and was known for his defensive prowess. But even Yadier is borderline HoF worthy, though his defensive metrics should push him in. For whatever reason, defensive metrics are just a harder sell, and the catchers position is a defense first position.
"He got hit with a paperclip and bled for the next 3 innings."
Wait, what?
I was wondering the same thing!!!
You just had to pick the Pete Rose episode to do the gambling ad huh?
Literally just made a pizza and had nothing to watch. Thanks for coming clutch baseball doesn't exist man.
Epic
Baseball may not exist, but clutch hitting like this certainly does!
@@staciemohler4624 Epic for the win
Love him or hate him, there will never be another Pete Rose
As a lifelong baseball fan, I can only appreciate the way Pete played the game. He played hard as if every game was his last, and he was one of the best to every do it. As for the collision with Fosse, don't ever block the plate without having the ball.. As for Harrelson, all runners come into 2nd base hard to avoid a double play he should have done a better job of getting out of the way after throwing the ball to first. Yes, Rose is flawed as a human being, but then again none of us are perfect. His play on the baseball field deserves to be recognized and celebrated in the hall of fame period.
I don't understand why u stand infront of the plate unless u know that your gonna get ran over.
His accomplishments are celebrated in the hall of fame. As are Barry Bond's home run records, Roger Maris's 61 home run season and many other records set by players that aren't actually in the hall.
@@user-js9xm7oc9n
FU_K MLB "Hall of Hypocrites" and every baseball commissioner since Landis!
Lmao what does being a lifelong baseball fan have to do with it
@@rancidcrawfish Means no one played the game day in and day out with his level of passion and intensity. If you were old enough to have seen him play you would understand.
The story I heard was from Spring Training 1962, Reds vs Yankees.
Rose was playing like a man possessed by the demons of baseball - running to first after a walk, for example - while those old dynastic Yankees were amused by this fiery young rookie. Then Mickey Mantle - The ol' Commerce Comet himself - quipped: _"Get a load of Charlie Hustle over there, trying to make us all look bad."_
Not 1962.
I saw Pete once at a memorabilia store at the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas. I yelled out “Pete!” from outside the store, since I was only a teenager without any money to get into the store. I still managed to catch his attention, and he immediately looked my way and made eye contact with me. The only thing I could yell at that star-struck moment was “Hall of Fame, Pete!” with a thumbs-up. Pete responded with a wink and his own 👍🏼 Such a small moment has resonated with me to this day.
How long ago was that?
@@ChainEffectPvP I can’t recall the exact date, but if I were to guess, it would be between 2000 and 2006.
EDIT: if I recall correctly, that was during a Vegas trip where I had also gone to the Grand Canyon, so most likely it was 2003.
He must have been there for years. I lived in Las Vegas from 2009-2011 and remember seeing him sitting in there several times. Many times he was all alone with no one around, kind of sad actually. I went in once and had a conversation about the Big Red Machine. I was a huge fan like so many others as a kid growing up in the 70's and watching them on the "Game of the Week" with Joe Garagiola. When I was a kid my parents took me to San Diego to see them play the Padres. I waited around after the game by the team bus to see if I could get his and Johnny Bench's autograph. He came out wearing a big bow tie. He definitely had personality.
@@peetfj he was there to gamble. He was in a casino. Cell phone.
Best baseball channel period. Your mini documentaries are head and shoulders above all else.
I always thought that the Astroturf was a huge aid in collecting hits, since it was such a fast surface
When will ESPN just give this man his own segment for these documentaries. Quality stuff right here.
And politicize these heavily all while trying to control how he edits them? No thanks, I'd rather this stay on RUclips with our guys freedom of speech and opinion. I get the allure but the day of thinking something being on TV is for the better is far gone.
Just take Ari Shaffirs " This is Not Happening" that he created by himself and chose the best stories from comedians until Comedy Central basically fired him from his own idea and gave the host to Ron something amd it is defunct now because the stories ended up all being politicized somehow even though they were suppose to be these amazing stories about the life behind the mic and daily life on the road of a comedian. Main TV is 90% trash now all run by 3 parent companies.
Why would he want that? ESPN isn't very good to their staff except for the highest paid ones, and they'll neuter all his creativity.
Along with Jomboy.
Never because he raped a 14 year old girl and sex trafficked multiple other minor girls across State lines for sex in the early to mid 70s. He admitted it saying “ that was 50 years ago Babe, who cares!”
Rose was my favorite player when I was growing up. He personified baseball for me. I can understand the admiration so many people have for him. But as a person, he's not a role model at all. Believe it or not, the straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I heard a fan tell of a story of an encounter with Pete where the fan said he didn't want to buy an autograph, he just wanted to shake Rose's hand. Pete said he would do it...for 5 bucks.
You can't chastise the guy for being a natural hustler.
@@boogityhoo7452 yes you can.
@@gregpenismith1248 well true, you can but whatever.
You can admire him for playing hard, but he did that more for himself than the team and fans.
U never heard of the saying "never meet your heros"?.. And by the way, most famous people get bothered constantly everywhere they go. U cant always expect people to be in the same mood ur In..
A casino game ad on a Pete Rose video? That's some top tier memery.
Lol, at 0:23 and 11:33 you can see my father reacting to Pete pushing the ump. That's awesome!
He deserves the ban for leaving his house with that haircut
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I’m dead
This is too funny, and not to mention he served time in Prison for Tax Evasion!!!
I'd much rather have a league filled with guys sporting that cut rather than a bunch of gangbanga tattoos from head to foot.
Definitely could use an update.
Jon Dowd … the greatest hitter in mvp baseball 05
He was unstoppable in high heat 2002
Heh, i just intentional walked him. I was virtually shut down against the rest of the sf lineup in that game.
Mvp Baseball 2005 was a beast of a game
Lmao the most replayed part of this video was the ad HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Also, while I was never to the level Pete was, I've been addicted to gambling. It wasn't fun and I lost a lot of money. I understand the stigma of not admitting to gambling. Addiction in general can really make you hit rock bottom.
Gotta know when to stop man. I'm a gambler too but I never bet the bill money and I get up when I'm ahead. Greed will get you everytime.
One year after Rose's ban, another longtime #14 came to Cincy, & won them a WS. That team went wire to wire that season. One would have to wonder what Pete was doing to that team before Lou got there.
He was giving them the positive reinforcement that they needed to gel as a team.
He built that team
True after 'sweet' Lou Pinella took over the team the 1990 reds led the division wire to wire, the entire season in first place, buried the Pittsburgh Pirates in six games, the crucial sixth game embarrassing the Pirates with a one-hitter, and destroyed the Oakland A's, defending WS champions in four games straight.
They would've won the pennant and the Series either way. Rose built the team, Rose made it possible.
He was tanking games to pay back his bookies.
I’m not even a baseball fan but these videos have me so invested in baseball haha.
Great video as always!
The Hall of Fame is primarily about achievement, not about personality or sainthood. His records speak for themselves, Pete was one of the best ever and they should be in the Hall of Fame. If you want to put a huge asterisk next to his bust, fine, but the achievement is one o a kind and should be displayed. I'm sure there are plenty of other players in the hall who are questionable characters as well. Let the one without sin throw the first stone.
I love these videos becuase of the hardcore research the take to make
It's always an amazing day when BDE releases a new video
@@BaseballDoesntExist MORE!!! Take my money and make more!
I definitely wouldn't be opposed to more.
True Pete Rose story for any who might appreciate it. At major sportscard/memorabalia expo in San Francisco, maybe 2001-ish. Pete's got a small table in the back, with a couple of hot spokesmodels. The show is winding down, there's not a lot of people around, so I waddle over to talk.
Me: "Hey Pete Rose, you were a helluva ballplayer."
Pete beams a smile. I'm not asking him for anything. I wasn't an autograph hound then and didn't have anything for him to sign. Didn't even know he'd be there! I continue:
Me: "But I gotta be honest.... when I sent to the stadium, every time you came up I'd boo as loud as my little lungs could!"
Pete's beaming smile drops to look of being sad and stunned. I continue:
Me: "Because I grew up in New Jersey, and I was a Mets fan. And I never forgave you for beating up poor Buddy Harrelson in the '73 playoffs!" We both laugh pretty hard.
Pete: "Oh, c'mon man! You guys won that series anyway!"
Me: "Yeah, I know. I'm just teasing you a bit. And I want to tell you, you should be in the Hall. Any real fan knows it."
Pete: "Thank you, I appreciate that."
Some people have written here of unpleasant encounters in public with him, but I found him easygoing and warm. True story, and my honestly true opinion. The HOF is too sanctimonious about this. There are a lot worse guys in pro sports, and if the Hall is really about great play, he should be there, warts and all.
I live in Vegas, and he regularly sets up at a sports shop at Mandalay Place, signing memorabilia.
17:49 I heard "Jon Dowd" and chuckled ugly xd
It’s funny how the all time home run king and hit king aren’t in the hall of fame
Bonds was a juicer & Rose a gambler. Next question!
@Caseytify.... Being a gambler doesnt have shit to do with his stats n how good he played the game. Should be in the HOF with no doubt

I like the gambling advertisement you have on the Pete Rose episode.
This is the video I have been waiting on for multiple months now. This is possibly the most excited I have been in my entire life.

Man you need to make more videos. I only have one problem with them.....they end too soon lol

Makes sense. They're paying to am experience with him. If you can pay for his time, dinner better be included for him too.
A documentary on Pete Rose sponsored by a casino. Classic!
These are so good. Can't wait to see your Pat Burrell video
It wasn’t Ford that gave him his nickname it was Mickey Mantle I believe
I met Pete Rose once in Boca where he had that Ballpark Cafe and arcade. It was a cool experience.
Aside from the Gambling scandal, I never really knew about his previous controversies, but I do know about his WWE appearances.
Love him or hate him, he was the "bad boy" of the MLB and lives the life of a rock star with drugs and scandals left and right.
ngl i was super interested in watching this after i got off work (from a casino) and your sponsor gave me flashbacks to 45 minutes ago and now i wanna go home whilst sitting in my home....there is no escape.
You should do a video on Aramis Rameriaz, and Derrek Lee when they played for the cubs
My dad had him as a gym teacher for a little less than a year because Pete had to do community work
I have a game ball with Pete's and Johnny's signatures on it. My dad got it for me back in the 80s when I was still a little guy but I can't find it anywhere. Worth lots of money whenever I do find it. If he dies without being admitted into the HoF it is a travesty. I don't give a damn about his private life and neither should the HoF. All that should matter is what he accomplished on the field and he did more than damn near everyone already in the HoF.
Those Wrestlemania appearances, gives me goosebumps to this day.
Is nobody gonna point out the irony of a casino sponsoring a video about Pete Rose???
This video is brought you by…
*GAMBLING*
Can you do a video on the black sox scandal
Pete Rose is baseball’s GOAT, end of story. No one will ever approach his stats
Love Pete Rose. Met him in Vegas. Asked him for an autograph, told me he wouldn't charge me for the autograph but it was $50 to use his permanent marker hahaha. He signed a poker chip for me haha
its always a good day when a commentary video comes out
I’m glad you recognized his amazing WWF run
The important facts that we need to know
WWF.....World's Wealthiest Fakers!
@yossarian Idk.....are they???
Wrestling is strictly ENTERTAINMENT, nothing more!
the funny thing is WWE has an entire celebrity wing in their "hall of fame" and he's one of the *more* deserving picks there lol, at least he was on some of the biggest shows during their hottest business period ever
BTW, the Wrestlemania in '98 (Rose's first appearance) had a running theme of disgraced celebrities. Besides Charlie Hustle you also had Gennifer Flowers as a guest interviewer, and Mike Tyson as a special referee in the main event...
I don’t even watch baseball yet I am hooked on these videos! Wish they were NFL but WOW these are so very entertaining.
Fosse had chronic shoulder pain for the rest of his life but he played a good few years after the home plate collision. Got 2 rings with the A’s after the fact so idk if his career was ended. Certainly not the same
Rose had one option outside of bowling him over and that was to just stop and let himself get tagged out. If you watch the replay you can see he was starting to go into a headfirst slide and realized that Fosse was blocking the plate too far up the line. Tough break for Fosse but unfair to Rose to completely blame him for ruining his career.
It was an exhibition game. No need to injure him because he made a rookie mistake. No class. Discression the better part of valor
The person who threw the paper clip at Rose, grew up to be Aroldis Chapman.
i met pete rose today, what a coincidence that this video was made
Did you pay for dinner?
"this is Ronald Reagan."
"how you doin?" lmao
I love these fucking videos. They always make me laugh, especially this one.
Rest In Peace Ray Fosse
Seen Pete eating at a outside cafe in Chicago around 99-20, he was wearing... jeans and a Pete rose jersey. Was super nice guy, I was a kid and super excited to see a celebrity.
First of all, Hank Aaron is the greatest player the game has ever seen. Did you know that if you take away every homerun that Hammerin' Hank ever hit, he still has over 3000 hits? Best ever.... period. And oh yeah,... Go Braves!
That sponsor ad is kinda funny considering that a Lightning Link was a device made to convert any AR15 to full auto
Actually Giamatti was never going to let Rose into the HOF. Giamatti loved Pete Rose but he also believed in the penalties of gambling on baseball. So it is believed that he actually died from stress and a broken heart for making that death penalty decision on Rose. Afterwards, every Commissioner has respected Giamatti so much that they have no choice but to uphold his ruling. And the tradition continues whenever a new commish is named solely due to their respect for Mr. Bart.
True!!!
Kinda cringe. Pete the goat
Wrong. Rose had a sweet heart of a deal that would have kept him out of prison, paid off his gambling debts, and eventually allowed him in. His book deal signed death warrant for him ever getting in
Just found out Ray Fosse unfortunately passed away last month, amazing video as always tho
I didn't know that. That sucks, I loved him and Papa calling A's games on FSN bay area as a kid.
I remember seeing a DeLorean and a Pinto in a car museum once. The Baseball Hall of Fame is a museum. Pete Rose should be in it.
Let’s not forget he used corked bats to a major extent, they x-rayed a few of his memorabilia bats and found there were corks in there.

If it was "just an Allstar game", why did Ray Fosse try to block the plate?
That argument goes both ways
Agreed
The All Star game used to determine home field advantage for the WS and the winners share was far largwr than the losers.He absolutely should have barreled Fosse.Universally considered one of the best plays in all sports history.
@@rockvocalist7007 Yep, the All-Star Game was about who was better, the American League or the National League, and at the time, there was no interleague play. A team from the NL would play an AL team like there is in the regular season. Before that, it was the only way to happen in the All-Star Game or the WS. This shows that the players and the teams played more aggressively because of the bragging rights. The All-Star Game is pointless nowadays because AL teams and NL teams still play outside the All-Star Game and the World Series. The All-Star Game winner does not get home-field advantage in the WS, but instead, that home-field advantage goes to the WS team with the best record that season. So what is the point of the Game then, when Baseball's best can play each other besides the game that should have decided home-field advantage in the WS.
To me, if you are going to do it, make it universal DH in both leagues, have the All-Star Game be for home-field advantage for the WS. Remove interleague games, where the games matter more. To make the game faster, initiate a pitch clock.
@@rockvocalist7007 The all star game didn't determine home field advantage when Rose was playing. That experiment came after Rose retired and they got rid of it because everyone saw it as unfair to the WS team that had a better record.
I was wondering the same thing!!!
Pete Rose is the definition of come back with a warrant.
5:00 I’m from Cincinnati and I find this crazy because this place is so close to my house it’s 10 min away from my house
one of my favorite sportstube channels. amazing work dude, always love watching your stuff!
This beats watching the nfl! Thanks for dropping it on Sunday.
Pretty much the quintessential "Great Ballplayer/Reprehensible Person" example. Ty Cobb and Barry Bonds are in the ballpark, but Pete Rose takes the cake.
I Came here from the VLAD interview....Wow!!!! One of the first players to ever do a head first slide...Thats insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:19 to skip the shillerey
Edit: no offense I love your channel lol
It feels like every legend just have crazy history
Except for perhaps Ty Cobb. lol
Sam Rice (longtime Senators outfielder and Hofer.) Had an interesting history (by all rights as a good person though).
When he went to a baseball tryout, a tornado hit his home killing his parent, 3 siblings, his young wife and 1 I think he had 2 young children. All died. He later remarried, and his 2nd wife didnt know for a couple of decades until a reporter mentioned it. (Probably was too traumatic to bring up for him, i imagine)
@@davidharrison7014 yeah
@@demonkingbadger6689 man that’s horrible I can’t imagine the pain of his whole family dead in one day I don’t think I’d be able to remarry tbh I’d be mortified
@@Meza10952 well, i think it was well into his career when he remarried, but i cant remember exactly when.
Having half empty bottle of whiskey thrown at you is goals
LMAO at your sponsor fot this one :D
Regardless of the mistakes he made he’s one of the greatest hitters/players to ever walk this planet
Yes, Rose made some DUMB choices, and the 80 year old has paid dearly for it. This report was extensive, with a lot of accurate and unfortunate facts, but FULL of errors, half-facts, and outright distortions, I.E. Lies.
@@usaveteran-retired6464 Such as?
@@mkadoza @Hmni Kadoza Stories on corking bats, with supposed proof, by a has-been/ never-was musician living in some other state, or is that England? Rose ruining Ray Fosse's career in the 1970 ASG. Maybe this "expert" needs to look up some facts, like how MLB players - and ballclubs - once used All-Star Games as bargaining chips to get bigger contracts BEFORE multi-million dollar contracts and Free Agency, AND how Mr. Fosse blocked Home Plate WITHOUT the baseball. Add the fact that Pete Rose was one of the most competitive ballplayers in MLB history, and there wasn't any such thing as a meaningless game. Guess meaningless games might be defined to ballplayers who never have substantial careers, and do not become legends, but that' not the case for the player with the most at-bats, hits, games played, winning games played, many other NL and Cincinnati Reds team records, and more. Drugs are not proven, either, and I could go on, but do something this guy failed to do: Look up the truth for yourself, without saying "It's believed," or "It's been suggested." I know much of Pete Rose's extremely poor choices, and he's paid for it long since before many of today's MLB fans - of a largely inferior product in 2021 - were even born.
@@mkadoza I do appreciate extensive use of much of what's been on RUclips for years. A lot of effort in video, for the most part, but not nearly as much in the facts.
No, he is NOT one of the best hitters of all time. Put his numbers up against the real top 50 hitters and he isn't in the conversation. Having the most career hits isn't enough to be in that club. Just look at his numbers next to Ty Cobb. It's a joke.
I hated him when he beat my favorite teams, but at the same time respected his talent and hustle and would have loved for him to be on my team. He should be in the Hall of Fame.
I suppose so, but he’s not someone anyone should look up to. Dude has serious issues
They will put Rose in the hall after he dies.
@@danapaul3216 I disagree, the more that comes out about the guy…the more of a degenerate he becomes. Not everyone in the HOF is a saint but Pete would lower the bar significantly.
And this is coming from a guy that as a kid patterned his baseball play after Charlie Hustle.
@@johnbuckley8724 if that’s the case Ty Cobb was hated by his teammates and was a racist and injured players on the field yet he is in the hall of fame
@@danapaul3216 Nope. Shoeless Joe has served his lifetime ban and is still not in.
Man I can watch your videos all day! (And I often do!)
My coach met pete rose at crackerbarrel once and said that you should always play every game like it's the last you will ever play. Since then I have used that and and my performance (already good) increased.
TFW I do not watch baseball at all, yet I’ve been watching all your videos nonstop since they’re so interesting. You got a new subscriber.
Pete Rose lives in Santa Clarita, California now. I’ve ran into him and his wife multiple times here
Pete even appeared in commercials for Aqua Velva, an aftershave lotion that was sold in Supermarkets and Drug Stores at the time.
Mlb made an example of pete rose in 1989. They did not do anything such as that to the Houston Astros for cheating in the world series. (Violating the integrity of the game) to much money involved. Different times.
