Agreed, all he did was gamble on a sport. So what . There are people in other halls of fame that were drug addicts. Hell, Mollitor was a coke head and hes in the Hall.
Honestly,I think Pete not being in the Hall has been somewhat beneficial to him.It makes him more infamous and keeps his name in the press..And that's good for the business of being Pete Rose..
Hes a really nice guy too. I met him in Florida with my high school baseball team and he talked baseball with us for hours and then signed a bunch of stuff for us.
@Jean v He gets paid a lot for his "recall." Goes to a million shows a year. Memories are, in part, manufactured. Just as his gambling habit, it's all about the cash.
Its easy to remember information when you absolutely love what you did. The memories are attached to emotions of which he had so much about with the game of baseball. I envy him on many levels. Nolan Ryan is the same way.
I know Pete violated MLB rules, but he’s a treasure trove of baseball history & stats! LOVES baseball & has an amazing memory and is a entertaining fella
Plain ridiculous he isn't in the Hall. They better not put him in after he dies either. That man deserves to see himself with that honor. Greatest hitter ever
Ty Cobb and Pete are similar in many ways-- one of which is that Cobb was incredibly smart as well. Listen to this guy. He knows everything about the game. Jesus....
I do not think that any other player in the last 56 years exists, that evokes so many emotions as Peter Edward Rose, my favourite player when I was a teenager, my favourite player now. (I'm 60) Mr. baseball Commissioner, please put this man in the Hall of Fame before his time here on Earth is up for fuck's sake, we MLB fans will forever be grateful, his achievements are incredible.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy these segments. I spent half my childhood looking at baseball cards from the 80's, reading the backs of them and then making trades with my friends. And then to hear all these stories. I'm in heaven!
@@paleo704 you are so right! His contemporaries are getting older too, and don't have as much influence as they did with the veterans committee. The new generation of fans do not appreciate his style of play.
They'll try and put him in soon as he dies. I hope his family doesn't allow it. If they can't do it now they don't deserve Pete after he's gone. The hall is a joke now.
Hopefully, they never put his cheating ass in. Also, the dude was a first-class asshole during his playing days, and I'm not talking about on the field. I'm just talking about as a human being. I had enough dealings with the douchebag back in the early 80s to know. Regardless, the fact he's a dickwad shouldn't keep him out of the Hall. The fact he's a proven cheat should.
I love Pete man. I see him all the time out here in Vegas and he's a down to earth cool dude. always up for a good baseball convo! Good job guys keep it up . And please put the best all around hitter in baseball into the Hall of Fame .... Its only right
Dale Murphy is my all-time favorite ballplayer, so to hear the Legend Pete Rose speak of him was particularly gratifying. Love these reflections and the walks down memory... Bravo!
This was great! You could genuinely tell he enjoyed telling those stories of the guys he knew... what a great memory. I could listen to Pete Rose talk baseball all day. 👏🏻👏🏻
Im amazed at the recall Pete Rose has. I saw an interview where he rattled off tons of stats from 40 plus years ago. His individual stats versus pitchers and teammate stats. I checked what he said with Baseball Reference and Pete was 100% accurate.
I really enjoyed this...I could watch this all day. I love his stories. The gum part was funny...almost seems like he didnt realize what he was doing at first😂🤣😂🤣!
Let him open and entire season of cards. Seriously, I think he'd do this show again in a heartbeat, seemed to have a lot of fun remembering the days of old..Such a shame we can't see this content with Pete weekly on MLB Network. He's the man
Pete should have his own show and over that course just give him every topps set starting from '52 thru today and it'd be amazing the stories he must have of players and games!! Hit King lives!!
I have Pete Rose Home Jersey & Davey Concepcion Road and both are 70’s V-Neck throwbacks. Love those. No buttons are the freshest. That’s dope that Pete Pulled a Davey while I’m watching this too. Lol iLL. RED Legs baby Boi. Thee Original Baseball team and the reason there is an 7th inning stretch. It was started in Cincinnati with The Cincinnati Reds Home Games because President William H. Taft was an REDS fan & A BiG BOi and so he wanted a snack & restroom break during the game so he didn’t have to miss any of the Game neither and thus the 7th inning stretch was created and now it’s officially a ritual. Also The Cincinnati Reds used to always play the 1st Game of the season to start the yr off and that was in tribute to The Reds being the 1st Official MLB Team. They were the 1st Game of the season ever year until just here pretty recently. Yes Sir. Cincinnati Red Legs ✌️ 🙏
NICE 👍 That’s an error card that Pete Rose discovered too. It’s not even in the Beckets. Yet kids. Hope you kept that card because he just made it worth while and we know it’s the Original 1 discovered now too. Lol Nice 👍
TO THIS DAY, the thing that amazes me about Rose and many, many professional ballplayers, retired and active..is how razor sharp, their total recall of game, players and innings, is. Just incredible. They can just glance at a guy's pic or name, and damn near tell you about his ENTIRE career, or big chunks of it..even if they didn play in the same damn league!
The great hitters have great baseball memory. Ted Williams was also able to pull dates out of nowhere regarding results at the plate for a specific game.
This is gold. He has an important comment on every card! Dave Kiper-the player to be named later. Pete Rose would be my first choice if I were starting a team--wish his card was in one of those packs just to get his reaction.
The thing I loved about this pete looked at them cards with the love of the game and you could tell he loved every one of them guys let the man be with his friends and were he belongs in baseball history
I was going to say that wow Pete is as sharp as a tact even though hes almost 80 but then again he ate the gum, then again Pete is an old time tough player they could eat nails.
Man. For all of his goofy proclamations, all his self-aggrandizement, all his bad takes...I have to love Pete Rose, if only because of that genuine moment at 13:16 when his face falls and he says "That's it? That's all we get to do?" If I were an old retired ballplayer, god help me, I would be exactly like Pete Rose. I'd just want to sit there all day long and remember some guys.
my favorite thing to do between the ages of 8 and 12 was sit down on my old couch in Queens Ny and watch the Yankees while opening my topps wax packs that I would spend my whole allowance on. I don't know if anyone noticed this with topps but in their 792 cards they would number the top players 100, 200, 300, 400, etc.....
Charlie Hustle! Loved watching him go head first into 3rd base on "This week in Baseball". I bet he could tell you his batting avg. verses every pitcher he faced in the big leagues. Thought it was great how he took the call from his fiance' during the taping.
Pete talks to everyone like he is their buddy and he has a great sense of humor. He doesn't carry himself like he is special or famous. Very impressive.
Omg i knew something that Pete Rose didn't know about Baseball and he is the smartest baseball Guy ever, John Shelby also played for the Dodgers, and I didnt look it up after i remembered that.
If you didn't enjoy this you don't like baseball. Especially if you remember these players .Pete is baseball personified , he was the guy you told your kids to watch to show them how to go about playing baseball .And I hope the dude with the cards realizes how lucky he is to sit and open old card packs with Pete Rose ! I'm definitely envious
