He does indeed--as he does on that long interview he did with DJ-VLAD--if u check that one out online, he does not look well at all . The one with DJ-VLAD was done sometime just in this last year, and he looks as if maybe he has had a stroke or possibly even cancer. I also see some possible signs of onset dementia too. It would be just like him to not publicly disclose some kind of serious health issue like that. But a few years went by between times I saw him on TV or online doing interviews or shows or anything, like sometime between 2018 to up until just these past couple of years, then I have started seeing him pop up again on more stuff, and it makes me wonder if something happened with him like during COVID--because the change in his look physically from like pre-COVID to say, 2022, 2023 was shocking the first time I saw it. And scary. I honestly don't believe he has alot of time left--wouldnt be surprised to see his time come soon--then those bastards would put him posthumously in the HOF. would be the greatest disgrace ever. If he can't be allowed to get in while he's alive, then it should never change after he's gone. I met Pete many times in my life as a lifelong baseball fan, me and my father both, and ppl cansay whatever they want about the things he did in his personal life off the field, not just the gambling, but everything else too---but one thing that has always been true about Pete in spite of all that is the way he has treated the fans his entire life. He was always a class act to me and my father and I saw him behave and interact that same way with countless other people too. He loves talking about the game of baseball, and he loves baseball history, and stats. And he has always wanted to stay involved in the game and around the game, but has been kept out for a lifetime. Even if all the other things he did are true, I know the way he feels about the game of baseball and the fans to be true as well. Hey, we've all got sins. I loved Pete Rose the ballplayer even if he bet on the game, and was an extreme gambler and extreme womanizer. I loved Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden, the ballplayers, two guys who battled drug addiction, and something I have battled in my own life as well. I loved Mickey Mantle, the ballplayer, and he was an admitted alcoholic. I loved Roger Clemens, the ballplayer, and he was a steroid user. Pete is the only athlete who sins have been judged differently, hypocritically, and unfairly. He's the only guy who has never been given the second chance. Every other athlete in the world has been given a second chance or some kind of free pass over whatever their sins were, and at the very least, they were not thrown out of their own professional sport. The real disgrace that went down with Pete's case was the Baseball HOF committee conveneniently deciding to make a new rule about a year or two after Pete was given the lifetime ban that anyone who was handed a lifetime ban would now be ineligible for the HOF. That rule would have never been put in place if not for Pete receiving a lifetime ban. They knew once that happened that they would have that "HOF decision" to have to be reckoned with on Pete years later, and as is so typical, they took the chicken-shit route out of that, and easily took that decision off of their plate. And thats where Pete really got screwed. That, and Bart Giamatti having made Pete a promise that he would one day be given a chance for reinstatement back into the game--that was even put in a written agreement and signed by both of them--but we know how that story ended: the worst thing that ever happened to Pete Rose was Bart Giamatti dying--and since then, it has been a 35-year string of Bart Giamatti "yes-men" baseball commissioners, from Fay Vincent to Bud Selig to Rob Manfredd-- all of them chicken-shits of the same kind who don't ever want part of their legacy to be that "I was the guy who allowed Pete Rose back into the game of baseball". It goes back to the same ol philosophy of every asshole always looking out for themselves first instead of trying to do what is right or trying to give someone else another chance. God love you, Pete, and have mercy on u, me, and my father---love u Hit King--#14 and #4192 forever, and Big Red Machine forever--one of the greatest dynasties in baseball history and the Team of the 70's--and Pete Rose: a true HOF'er on the baseball field where it counted.
Two legends there, Rose and Perez. I hope you took the time to talk to Tony - great, great player, and a real gentleman.
