I met Pete a few times, always greatly admired how he played the game.

Rest in Peace my friend!!!

Perhaps now that Charlie Hussel is gone the powers of Baseball will let him into the hall.

Dikembi is and Maggie are both gone way too soon.

Pete, Dikembe, Maggie, and Kris.


... and to think that I always thought they went in threes.

I was a huge Pete Rose fan when I was young. Cincinnati and The Big Red Machine, taking the Phillies to their 1st World Series, and just a relentless approach to playing all-out every game. Rest in peace Charlie Hustle.

I think if Pete had been a little more apologetic in an interview with the commissioner in 2018 I think it was , they may have overturned the lifetime ban then. But he said he still bet on baseball and that pretty much sealed his fate.

My first and only in person game was the Reds at Crosley Field a few years before they built the Riverfront Stadium.

Johnny Bench and Pete Rose were our heroes as youngsters.

Condolences to his family, friends, teammates and players (former).

May he Rest In Peace, and hopefully posthumously allowed into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
