Pete Rose is the best player in the history of the game.
As to the JB/Dillon debate, Between 1968 and 2005 there was one player who was active during that time who had 30 TDs rushing and 30 TDs Catching. Marshall Faulk joined the club in 2005
While Rose is a stone cold A-hole (met him once) I really enjoyed watching him play for the Big Red Machine. While I would say he gave more effort than any other major leaguer, I can't say he's the best baseball player....EVER. That puts him against Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson, Willie Mays (not Hays). There's a huge list of players, and I'm nopt even sure he was better than many of the other BRM players like Bench or Morgan
