Pete broke that rule.

“Greatest players to ever play the game?” I’m not sure abou that. The guy was a Hall of Famer, but I’m not sure he’d even crack a list of the top 100 MLB players of all time.

It is amazing how professional sports has embraced Las Vegas. Literally athletes promoting gambling.

RIP Pete

I was seven when he was a rookie. He was my favorite player in 1963 and that will never change. I had the pleasure of listening to the vast majority of games he played in or managed for the Reds.

There will never be another Charlie Hustle.

Rule 22 does does not give a flip if you bet for or against your team.

I'll never forget that fight he had with Bud Harrelson, I was in the 1st grade in New York and was a Met fanatic and to this day I remember seeing it on TV, I couldn't believe how Rose picked up Harrelson like a toy and slammed him into the ground. I had Harrelsons autograph as well. To this day I don't know why they fought lol

One of Pete’s great applause lines was that he also “made more outs than anyone in baseball history.”

R.I.P. Peter Edward Rose, 🌹 you did The Queen City Proud! 🥲

These things come in threes. I'm not someone to wish death on anyone, but I won't be crying if this demon goes back to hell...

In addition to the hit title, Rose also played in more games, had more at-bats, had gotten on base more and had singled more than anyone in baseball history. He also made the most outs in MLB history.
