    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @MaverickJ3W
      @MaverickJ3W Год назад

      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.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

      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.

      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)

    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.

    I can't see Pete Rose as the best player in the history of the game, that would take away the achievements of players that in my opinion did more to promote baseball than bring it down. Glad he will never be in the baseball Hall of Fame. I wish the League would start banning other players for their cheating and use of prohibited substances.
