I think some of the old-timers hold Rose responsible, or partly, for Bart Giamatti’s death and this is their way to honor the former Commissioner. Giamatti once had this quote “A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching.”

If Rose is responsible for Bart Giamatti’s death, then he saved Giamatti from the great indignity of being canned a few years later when the baseball owners decided they’d had enough of the Strong Commissioner model.

The smoking might have had something to do with it.
