Pete Rose is such a douche

There used to be a Pete Rose wife appreciation thread somewhere around here. Nice pics.

"Voting shall be based upon the player's...integrity, sportsmanship, character..."

 

Never should Pete Rose be voted into the Hall of Fame even if he has the stats.

fine.  vote him into the hall.  just don't put him on TV.  

 

Maybe he should do a show with Russo.  

[Inside Pitch]

He sure does love talking about himself

His ex-wife has a great quote about him

 

"You have to give Pete credit for what he accomplished, he never went to college and the only book he ever read was The Pete Rose Story"

He was also once asked what player in MLB History he would have wanted to be by saying "Me".

The best is walking through the strip mall, that combines two casinos (Luxor and Mandalay Bay, I think), where there is a little sports memorabilia shop with no one it in, and there sits Pete Rose, at a desk, with pens, and a little rope to direct the line of people awaiting his autograph.....but there is no one in line.   Four years in a row now I've been at Vegas for a trade show, and every year, for each day of the week, I saw the same thing in the morning on the way to the show, and the evening on the way back from the show.   

 

Plenty of people walking the mall, just no one giving a rat's ass about Pete and his overpriced autographs.  

The last two trips to that mall, I have seen him there too.  Crickets.

Hated the guy when he was playing....so much so... that I'm really happy his life went into the crapper.

Couldn't happen to a better douchbag IMO.

The look on Thomas's face towards Rose during that little FOX sit-down at the stadium was priceless.

[Erstad Grit]

I missed the interview, what did he say?

No way

Lucy liu is way hotter. Kianna Kim looks like a Thai hooker imo

One of the best players ever to play the game ... you don't have to like him. I believe he should be in the HOF without a doubt. I also believe he should be banned from the game for betting on the game. I like how he played the game but times have changed ... the game has soften up a little.

Pete Rose is absolutely worse than A-Rod or any player associated with PEDs. At least A-Rod didn't bet against his own team–that is an unforgivable and shameful act. He should try and avoid the public eye to spare what little dignity he might have left.

 

Not so fast

Investigative journalism linked the first PED's to Rose's Reds team and he and his local gym boy brought it into the clubhouse.  The guy is complete scum.

 

On a side note, that entire article is great.
