Re: MLB Off-Topic
My wife and I met Pete a couple years ago in the Reds store just outside GABP the day before opening day. He had his wife and another girl with him at the time, and I said hi Mr Rose and he shook my and my wifes hand. He was very nice and humble when we met him, he was checking out my wife, but I was checking his wifes rack out as she had quite a bit of cleavage showing, so I guess were even,lol.
I hope Pete continues to work for Fox, he might not be allowed back in baseball or the HOF, but very few have the knowledge that man has on the game, and atleast working for Fox he gets to talk about the game he knows better than most anyone in the history of the game.
I do feel for Mr Manfred, as that was a tough decision and Im sure anytime he is around Cincy he will probably get booed sadly, but the man had to do whats best for the game, and if he had any doubt whatsoever that Pete could repeat past mistakes he had to keep the banned on, and I hope Rose fans understand that. Atleast Mr Manfred went into it with a open mind and dealt with it like a man, and as much as Im a fan of Pete Rose the right decision was made, as Pete hasnt seriously ever dealt with his gambling issue. You would think that Pete would have been adamant about getting help, even if he couldnt quit gambling all together.
I do believe everyone deserves a 2nd chance, and imo Pete was given a 2nd chance and if he had seeked more help on his addiction I do believe Mr Manfrd would have reinstated him, but Pete didnt, and he even lied at first to Manfred about not betting on baseball, before admitting he still bet on baseball.
When I was 16 years old, he was charging for autographs outside of Caesar's Palace. I just walked up to him, and said, "Mr. Rose, I was wondering if I could just shake your hand."
He said, "Hey, sure thing," and shook it. I said, "I appreciate you," and walked away.
Nice guy, in my book.
