Pete Rose' Only World Series Triple ( '75 Game 3 )

Rick Wise vs. Pete Rose

[@cojaysea]

I’ll never forget watching a Monday night baseball game back in the 70,s , Reds VS Pirates . 3 different players on the pirates hit homers and they ran around the bases in slow motion just lumbering along . Later Pete Rose came up hit a home run and he ran the bases so fast you would have thought the ball was still in play . I guess he was showing up the other players , like hey slow pokes this is how you do it ! Never forgot that .😊

Charlie funkin hustle! Should be in the Hall of Fame! Also need to get a helmet to stay on!

[@davanmani556]

He did it to distract the fielders of what base to throw and where he is at.

[@kirk4086]

I kinda understand your comment...but, the guy was placing sporting bets on other baseball teams from the club house phone...during the game...he admitted this when ask at his hearings ...

[@EugBaseball]

@kirk4086 OK, but all his hitting achievements were done about 24 years prior. Those achievements have nothing to do with his managerial foray.

[@kirk4086]

@EugBaseball dude...I don't make the rules...

[@user-fy6ku6ks8m]

My all time favorite from Riverfront was opening day 1974. I saw Hank Aaron hit his 714th home run. The Reds won in the 11th on a wild pitch. Pete scored from 2nd base.

Grew up 70s baseball fanatic Chicagoland, Big Red Machine dominant.Yrs later on Phillies, saw Rose go 1st to 3rd on bunt in Wrigley- he still had it! Never slowed down 😊

[@michaell874]

I recall when in 1974 when I was 6 years old and went to my first Mets’ game at Shea Stadium, with the one lasting memory from that game that the Refs won 5-0, watching Pete Rose running down to first base after he drew a walk. From that time I began following the Reds, cheering for the Big Red Machine in addition to the two New York teams. What exactly is the meaning of the Hall of Fame when players like Pete Rose are ousted after he has done so much more to sell the game while players that have been indicted actually did more to tarnish the game than what Rose did when his gambling addiction got the best of him. Players cheated, took steroids, abused alcohol, drugs, and their wives, and yet MLB has been more tolerant of them. I guess it goes to show that you must obey the powers that be more so than actually do your best to consistently sell the game and prove yourself as a winner time and time again, and to rack up the incredible stats he did. Once again, it is a lesson in life that it matters not how good you are, but who your friends are on whether or not you are honored or disbarred. The NBA had a similar situation with Michael Jordan, but they handled it very well, and very few people even nowadays understands what he did, as he was properly honored by the NBA for his illustrious career.

[@boristheamerican2938]

He bet on baseball just like Shoeless Joe Jackson before him. There are some things that cant be forgiven because it would open the floodgates to activities that would ruin the game forever. Just think about the steroid era. Ya everyone was juicing, baseball encouraged it, the fans loved it, but then after a while we all thought "what have we done?". It was all about a quick cash in.

[@michaell874]

@@boristheamerican2938 The NBA forgave Michael Jordan. MLB forgives players that have done much worse than what Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose did. Nothing during my lifetime did more to destroy the integrity of the band than the admittance of the use of steroids by the players. The owners contributed to it because they felt that more home runs would put more fans in the stands. They ruined the league so much between that, inter league play and the stupid wild card that I stopped watching games more than twenty years now. And between the Mets and Yankees, used to go to around 15 games a season and I used to purchase merchandise endorses by Major League Baseball. Yet, despite it, I still believe Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens deserves to indicted because although I believe the steroid use began in 1982, it became more prevalent during the late 80s and was completely out of control by 1993. Just look at the home run stats year by year. I used to love to watch with intrigue each pitch the pitcher would throw, including the type of pitch and location. I remember the days when teams would steal, hit and run, or bunt to move a base runner into scoring position to where every manager just sits on his fat ass and waits for the three run homers. The game sucks. These guys no longer take pitches, even when they are losing, and yet pitches are still taken out of games by the fifth or sixth inning. They ruined the integrity of the game, but guys like Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose have become the epitome of the scapegoat of these frauds.

[@bengaljam4550]

@@boristheamerican2938 Shoeless Joe accepted money to throw a World Series. Can't really compare that to betting on your team to win like Rose did. In fact if Shoeless had just placed a bet for his team to win he never would have been investigated. Fans would have said "Good for you Joe for having confidence in your team". Rose knew the rules so a banishment from baseball is what happens. At the time he was still eligible for the HOF until they changed the rules in 1991 to keep him out. That wasn't fair and not what Giammatti wanted. Should be in the HOF. Also MLB is hypocritical as it tells people it is a good idea to gamble on baseball games and they make a lot of money off of it. They have a huge stake in Fanduel and Draftkings so they have skin in the game. They themselves are violating rule 21.
