Legendary Baseball Player & MLB's Hit King Pete Rose Tells His Life Story (Full Interview)

Legendary baseball player, Pete Rose, discussed his background and multiple records in a recent sit-down with VladTV. Known as one of the greatest players of all time, Rose, also referred to as "Charlie Hustle" or "the Hit King," has an impressive history as the all-time Major League Baseball (MLB) leader in hits, a three-time World Series Champion, an MVP winner, and a Rookie of the Year, among other achievements. Rose shared his early life growing up near Cincinnati, Ohio, and how his father's love for sports influenced him. Despite originally favoring football, Rose decided not to go to the University of Tennessee and instead decided to pursue baseball. Throughout the interview, Pete Rose detailed his MLB career, as well as his permanent ban, which caused him to be excluded from the Hall of Fame. To hear more, check out the full interview above.

[@rayspooner1982]

I got to meet Pete when I was in high school around 1998 or 99. My baseball team was in Florida and we went to his restaurant. When I approached him and told him I was there with my team, he brought us into a private room and talked baseball with us for hours. Afterwards he took pictures with us and waited while our coach went to CVS to print the photos, then Pete signed one for every player. Hes a great guy and deserves to be in the HOF.

This has to be my favorite Vlad TV interview ever! As a person who grew up in Cincinnati during the Big Red Machine era, I loved listening to those games on 700 WLW and going to Riverfront Stadium to watch them play. I was bummed when Pete was traded to the Phillies, but was happy when he won a World Series with them. I was there on September 11th, 1985, when he broke Ty Cobb's hit record. And as a kid, my father liked to bet on the horses so we would see Pete at the old Latonia Racetrack in Erlanger, Kentucky. Great job!

Grew up watching the big red machine in the 70’s , I remember seeing insert cards of him before him being a red , I never knew any other Team him playing for at that time, I wonder if those cards I would see in my packs were him playing in that league he spoke of in the beginning from Dayton, Oh😂😂😂😂 As a kid I would think to myself “ I don’t want no card of him not in a reds uniform,”😂😂😂😂 I’m from Dayton, I use to say to myself Pete Rose is just a hour a way as a kid , How ironic is it he’s been to Dayton and played baseball here… Said all that to say this He’s a Icon to a generation of kids him sliding head first was the coolest thing to see as a kid , He would also destroy a catcher at home plate like nobody’s business … stealing second from first was his patented skill for him, when he singled you almost expect for him to take second base, and he did .. seeing him as young young man when I was kid makes you appreciate him so much more all these years later…Thanx Pete for being the awesome player you were🐐🐐🐐💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾✌🏾

I loved how, when playing 1st base, Pete would spike the ball at the edge of the pitcher's mound while running towards the dugout after the last out of an inning. He is correct in his assessment of Ichero and the Japanese League
