Rose only had two modes. Off and overdrive. He would sprint to first base after ball four. In the 1970 All-Star exhibition game, he permanently injured Cleveland catcher Ray Fosse (R.I.P.) in a home plate collision.
I was 9 or 10 and thought I understood the rules to baseball, but not 100%.
So I see this guy is at bat and the pitcher throws ball 4. The guy then sprints top speed to first base.
I turned to my older cousin said,
“I thought he was walked.”
Cousin “he was”
Me: “so why did he run?”
Cousin “because he’s Pete Rose.”
My cousin said it like is was obvious and I should have known that.
This is the picture my dad used as the background when he framed our tickets from the game Pete Rose tied the all time hits record in. Have it in my office.

Pete Rose deserves to be in the baseball hall of fame. Fight me.
Easy to play hard when you’ve got money on the game

*Ron Howard begins to narrate*
He’s a Hall of Famer.
And that my friends is how baseball used to be played… With Aggression… Go Charle Hustle…😂
I’m betting that’s a line of cocaine he’s diving into.
Fucking legend.
They guy who ruined baseball by betting on it? Yeah fuck that guy.
His bookie is behind home plate. He’s just getting a last minute bet on his team in.
Draw some claws and he’s Wolverine. Look at those black forearms in a BnW photo!
“Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet”
Holy shit thought that was a dog in a baseball shirt
Equally as good a baseball player as he is a scummy human being.
BET he was safe at home.
I was 9 or 10 and thought I understood the rules to baseball, but not 100%.
So I see this guy is at bat and the pitcher throws ball 4. The guy then sprints top speed to first base.

I bet he was safe
I kind of want to put a storm trooper on his back like he was flying through the forests of Endor.
George Micheal and Maeby
Everyone with a holier than thou mentality about him betting just needs to fuck off already
Was he safe?
This is the picture my dad used as the background when he framed our tickets from the game Pete Rose tied the all time hits record in. Have it in my office.
Sam? Where is dean?
The dive from that far away seems like a pretty big gamble!
Should be in hall of fame. Still a huge asshole. The nickname Charlie Hustle wasn’t a compliment.
Should be in the Hall of Fame. Too bad the MLB treats him like Voldemort, he who shall not be named.
Daughter, “Daddy, who had the most career hits in MLB history?” Dad, “Ty Cobb was second.”
I’ve seen this photo a dozen times and this is the first I noticed you can see his helmet, still in mid air from flying off his head, behind his butt.
