Not really a baseball guy, but you go to Cincy and you realise how revered he was.
Got a picture of the exact spot the first base pad stood at the Moerlein beer house with the inscription about a 9 minute standing ovation.
R.I.P to a legend of the city.

This hurts. I remember watching him play as a kid at Riverfront. He's one of the reasons I started playing baseball. I would go probably two to three times a year. He was screwed by MLB for banning him from baseball. He didn't bet against the team. And, they've shown leniency to players for worse. But most of you know this story. Hopefully those butt cracks will let him in now. Sucks he's gone and won't enjoy it if they do. I truly hope this brings a black eye to MLB. They robbed a man from his crown.
RIP Charlie Hustle.

My old thread from a few years ago about my interaction with him in my last month in Kentucky before moving to Alaska with my Mom in August of 1976.
Rest in peace, kind sir.

A shame he never got into the HOF

RIP Pete. I'm sad you didn't get into the HoF while alive.
I was at 4192 as a kid. Fun memory.

It's hard to convey to outsiders just how attached the city of Cincinnati was to Peter Edward Rose. We turn on athletes quickly here, but Pete was the one guy that could do no wrong, even when he clearly did a lot of it.
If the quote "Work hard, play hard" was a person it would be him.

I am. I really had hoped with all the gambling pushes being made by pro sports they’d come to their senses and recognize he has been punished long enough.
RIP to the king. The way analytics are with todays baseball nobody will ever come close to his record again.

RIP Pete Rose.... should have been inducted years ago. Growing up in the mid 70's he represented everything good in sports to me & my generation.
RE: Pete Rose has died - XenoMorph - 10-01-2024
Hopefully they will let him in the HoF now
RE: Pete Rose has died - CKwi88 - 10-01-2024
Shook his hand at the Hall of Fame when he was doing an autograph signing. Was way too young and not from Cincy to understand the guy's significance unfortunately.
Van Pelt said it well yesterday. Any accounting of the game's greats without Rose is incomplete.

It looks like his lifetime ban has been served. Time to put him in the Hall.

He was synonymous with Cincinnati during my childhood, and pretty much still was til the day he died.

RIP Hit King.
They should’ve let him in the moment they let a Draft Kings ad run during their games.

Born at the right time. The 24 hour news cycle would've demolished him today.

What a lot of the youngins that never got to see Pete play don't realize, when just looking at the stats. Pete lived for baseball - PERIOD
I heard Johnny Bench describe Pete in an interview something like this "Pete, would run thru a house on fire in a gasoline suit to play baseball" Pete played every inning of every game with an intensity that was just unequaled. He never stopped giving it his all at every moment.
And they don't realize how big Pete was in the mid 70's thru early 80's. Shaving Ads, cover of S.I. Wheatie Boxes, game shows. Like Michael Jordan and Barry Sanders rolled into one.
He deserves to be in the hall
