God Bless Pete Rose
From Larry Brown Sports, via Deadspin:
“When I played for [Reds owner] Marge Schott for those five years, she was the only person in the organization with facial hair!”
Sounds like Pete had a good time on San Diego’s XX Sports radio. After a year of 24/7 Buckeye Talk and the rabble-rousers on WLW, I miss those guys. Pete too.

That is the funniest thing I’ve read in months.

he just made my day
that and the new jingle
on the radio
“Who do you call when you need someone that is as comfortable in the huddle as the back of a cop car?”
“CALL CHRIS HENRY! CALL CHRIS HENRY!”

It’s easy to forget how funny Pete could be and how refreshing his take on the game could be after not having him around for the last 20 years.
And that’s a shame.

If only Pete had taken steroids or done a bunch of cocaine. He’d have been back in baseball 15 years ago.

Stay classy Pete!
