Baseball legend Pete Rose took a shot at his former teammate and Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench on Thursday during an appearance on “The Brian Kilmeade Show.”
Rose fired back after Bench refused to budge from his view that the former Cincinnati Reds star should be excluded from the Baseball Hall of Fame for gambling on the sport in 1989.
“It don't bother me but you know Johnny Bench is one guy who should thank God I was born,” Rose told host Brian Kilmeade. “Because he never would have made the Hall of Fame if I wasn't born.”
Kilmeade asked Rose to elaborate.
“Because I'm the guy he knocked in a thousand times. You got you've got guys in front of you guys right behind you and you got to be responsible for everybody else involved,” Rose said, adding that Bench couldn’t understand why he wasn’t as loved as Rose was in Cincinnati.

Rose:
“Because he never would have made the Hall of Fame if I wasn't born.”Rose has got to have a screw loose, he'd do himself a favor if he'd shut up and stop making a jackass of himself.

Pete Rose, great player but a deeply flawed degenerate gambler.

Of course he should be banned.To think otherwise just confirms stories about his low IQ.

As a starry eyed kid, Pete was a hero. Wasn’t long into my teenage years I realized his ego was his Achilles.

Bench was pretty darned good. I bet he would have made the HOF had he been on almost any team.

Did you even read the article you posted?
To: C19fan
At 78, he’s struggling to stay relevant.
Lance Armstrong is beginning the same quest earlier in life, haha.
Only older baseball fans give a damn one way or another about Pete Rose, and he’s losing them fast.
Perhaps Pete and Lance could go on tour together.

Rose said, adding that Bench couldn’t understand why he wasn’t as loved as Rose was in Cincinnati. Uh, Pete, there's a statue of Bench at Great American Ballpark.

“shut up, Pete”
“I’ll continue going around the world we live in and telling everybody he’s the greatest catcher of all times,” Rose said. “I don’t get tired of saying that because it’s the truth.

Yet, he still would have sold a lot of Spray Paint.
