Pete Rose deserves to be in the hall. He gave his all to the game. look at his stats. He was so fun to watch. I loved to watch them play the As

[@sccc6758]

Yes he does. He did it all on like his name says Hussle NO ROIDS NEEDED. unkike.mcgwire and sosa amd consquo 😊

[@tynosille6747]

He has an amazing knowledge of numbers of records.

[@retiredusvet4396]

Thanks for adding this on the legendary Pete Rose!

[@docadams7099]

I'm guessing this interview was done in late 1978, when Rose had just announced his choice to leave the Reds via free agency, and went on a tour of cities looking to sign with. His tour included Kansas City, but he ended up with Philadelphia. He played there 5 years, including a World Series win in 1980 (his third), then played briefly with the then-Montreal Expos before coming back to the Reds in August 1984.

[@dogzebra2708]

Probably the greatest player to ever play the game.

[@loverofgolf]

Not even close.

[@markravitz1684]

The greatest hitter, as well as the best ambassador to baseball there ever will be. Period.

[@generalmayhem9031]

He does deserve to be in the Hall, no doubt. However, that hair Pete... I know it was the 70's but common...

[@mrlafayette1964]

No one had ears or foreheads in the 70's including me.

[@michaelanderson9897]

Like the hair 😂😂😂

[@leoderosia9279]

Rose would eat dirt to win

My Favorite Yankee Mickey Mantle went ahead and said " Take a look at Charlie Hustle . "

Huh?

Well done

One of the best ant guys you could ever interview in sports😊

that hair was his mom giving him the bowl haircut

Read "My Prison Without Bars". Petition the MLB Commissioner and end this tragedy.

[@televisionarchivestudios1130]

Rose only admitted to betting on baseball after he found a way to make money with it

[@txdunn]

Hall... give it to him

[@jeremycrandall2899]

I’m guessing that Pete already knew the guy was from Philadelphia, and they tried to make it seem spontaneous… Would be too much of a coincidence otherwise.

[@Wonderwall36]

looks like Jimmy Conners.

[@italianwaterice9594]

Connors

[@docadams7099]

"Modern Major League record 44-game hitting streak"? Uh, no, that's the modern NL mark. The MLB record is 56 straight games, set by Joe DiMaggio in 1941.

[@keeponrollin7922]

I don't ever see that record being broke,5 games is hard enough to do let alone 56,

[@mrlafayette1964]

Here MLB is now "promoting gambling", it's ridiculous to keep Pete out of the hall. He'll go in one day but it'll be a shame if it's posthumously. Next class Pete, Garvey, Parker, Dwight Evans and Tommy John

Can SOMEONE in MLB PLEASE! give this human being, this MAN ( with faults and weaknesses and even an addictive personality) a BREAK already!!!???? Let the person WITHOUT Sin, cast the first stone!! PLEASE MLB, I am 65, this Man was the Greatest baseball field player, who reached Beyond his 100% God given potential by sheer DRIVE and EFFORT, than anyone I ever saw in my life. The Man has paid his dues. Give the Man a BREAK ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@6galaxy]

At least put his hair in the hall

[@jennycraig99]

lol haircut

[@ceemore5862]

He agreed to the ban. Keep him out.

[@frozendivots1564]

He agreed to the one year ban and then MLB changed it. But he should be out because for all we know he was betting along with others, like umps, etc. They could easily rig games and we really don’t know what he was doing.

[@kevinmadden1645]

It is one thing to be whacked by the ugly stick but something else to be horsewhipped by it. Wear a mask- over your entire face.

[@televisionarchivestudios1130]

Some of the worst things he did never came out. Rose doesn't belong in the hall of fame
