Ryan & Rose - Part 6 - We Win, They Lose

[@michaelcollins237]

The street talk,the recall and the quick wit that PETE has is extraordinary. I am Pete's age and he is the man.

[@jwaschke666]

Pete hit it on this one! This is the mindset we need to get back to - We Win, They Lose. Cos you do feel better when you win!!! *Mariners fan who perpetually loses...*

[@amandalively1]

He in he hall of fame in our hearts.❤️

[@-C.S.R]

It’s joke after joke that are truly hilarious 😂 and his stories are the best! I wish he had a weekly podcast!!! Love Charlie Hustle!!!

[@lemaxmas]

Although I'm a long time fan of Pete's and had the pleasure to meet and talk with him many years ago in 1976. He was very gracious, personable, down to earth and funny. A treasured few moments in my life. In this case though, his comment that no one would know who Ray Fosse was if they didn't have that collision that ended the 1970 All-Star game, is really unfair to a ball player who was never the same after that collision at home plate. Fosse was hitting great up to the all-star game with a 312 BA., 16 homers and 45 RBIs. Fosse was also a defensive marvel gunning down runners and handling his pitchers well. Fosse was hurting afterwards but kept playing the rest of the season but only hit 2 more homers and only had another 16RBI's. He kept his average close enough ending at .307. But he was in pain all the time and could not hit with the same power. It was only later on that the Indians and Fosse realized that his shoulder was fractured and separated and had healed incorrectly. Fosse was a highly regarded catcher who showed signs of a possible great career. And as happens to many fine athletes in all sports injuries can end in some cases what could have been a fine or hof career. So while it is not Rose's fault, he should at least be decent enough to not make comments like that about Fosse. If the cards were dealt differently it could have just as well been Pete that wound up with an aborted career. And in a sense he's experienced the loss of being a part of the game that he loves so much, so he knows what it's like to lose that and be standing on the outside. You'd hope he'd have gained some compassion with all that he's been through.

lemaxmas also, a drowning incident when trying to rescue a player in Venezuela while playing winter ball.

[@peteborowicz]

I bet he says it more as a way to defend himself then to degrade fosse. Just cuz he got so much shit from it. Not that that makes it right but still

[@electrolytics]

[@richiebaker4267]

Love Ya Pete,I Probably Was The Only Person In Shea Stadium Cheering For You,During The 1980'S When The Mets Where winners.I Could Listen To You Talk Baseball All Day.

[@jasongroat9809]

Pete deserves the Hall! "Johnny Bench, Uh, the greatest catcher in history of baseball by the way." Mr. Ryan has made it, Charlie Hustle (no matter how bad his gambling addiction was) should be added. JMO

[@davidrice3337]

when Pete talks about his dad I can't help but get a huge lump in my throat- love ya , Charlie Hustle- Thanks for the good times and the priceless memories

[@SeahawksBamBamKam]

I love Pete's explanation of this and I know all about this heard the story decades ago as a kid, Charlie Hustle.

[@gvalley07]

Pete should get a stand-up comedy routine. Seriously, he's that funny!

[@kickerpunter8414]

Summary: "We win, they lose." "Who was Ray Fosse, he's the one that got in my way in the 1970 All-Star game." Lmao

[@paulaberney5351]

Great man

[@dannyroybal7394]

Rose Truly IS MR. BASEBALL!!!!!🌟

[@michaelamanek8908]

PETE THE GREAT HIT KING NEEDS, SHOULD, MUST BE IN THE HALL OF FAME. PETE IS WHAT BASEBALL NEEDS TODAY.

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot2386]

Put Pete Rose in the Hall Of Fame!!! We fans feel the punishment, too....

[@MrPocketfullOfSteel]

lf matyas Isn't that about the truth!?!?😞 I'll tell you something. Since that mess happened with him.....after that I only attended three events at Riverfront Stadium and none at GABP. #1 A dear friend surprised me with tickets to the one game playoff against the Mets in 99? I think that was the year. #2 The last weekend of MLB at Riverfront Stadium (if I remember correctly) - I don't know who the Reds were playing but my Dad and I was going to the college game next door at PBS.....the Cincinnati Bearcats against the Ohio State Buckeyes. We got there 4 hrs. before kickoff and my Dad had it planned unbeknownst to me. He had tickets also for the Reds game that he surprised me with. What an incredible day of Cincinnati sports, we left in the 6th inning and started our trek to PBS for the football game. #3- Within a week of that (again the time frame if I remember correctly) was "The Last Event In The History of Riverfront Stadium." A softball game between members of The Big Red Machine against former stars of other teams. The first two games I didn't spend one nickel. The last event at Riverfront....MLB had NOTHING to do with it so I felt free to spend my monies. ***That is how bad and how hard I took it, and maybe the last ten years I started to soften my stance a bit.... then I saw just how pig headed this new commish dictator was going to be with Pete and I am now finished with MLB as far as giving them one nickel. Even watching it on tv. Occasionally I may hear a bit of a game on WLW....but that's it. Call me childish etc etc etc - - but that man gave EVERYTHING to MLB and to do what they have done to him is just beyond imagination and I know all the arguments on the other side etc etc.....but come on. Give it up and just use common sense and common decency towards another human being. History will show that MLB was the one that screwed themselves, not Pete. I apologize for the long post.

[@elrickpenn]

... Pete is the best ... As a Bahamian, I only have one question for him: what type of player was Ed Armbrister ? ... Ed was Bahamian ...

[@cavalierfan1995]

in his own words hes said "im in the reds hall of fame....thats good enough"

[@vincentrobinson9645]

Back in the 70’s , the National League had some bad ass multitalented players and had a great track record for winning all star games

[@RisingSon011]

Vincent Robinson half of the Reds roster was on the All-Star team ïn the 70s

[@johnybaltimore3687]

the National League also had the zestiest salad dressing recipes back then.

[@bigglilwayne7050]

Much respect to Pete for going out of his way to say that Bench is the greatest Catcher of all time... How Bench never misses an opportunity to bury Pete, it would be very easy for Pete to return the favor....

[@moohoward]

Pete deserves the HOF. Don't know the politics of it but time has passed, he was NOT a steroid "freak" and he was the greatest hitter statistically of any player who ever played. Nuff said.

[@brettrobertson2538]

Pete Rose is awesome

[@subeyguy66]

Pete got his statue. Put him in the hall next.

[@antoinethomas3696]

Gotta luv Petey. Ask one question and he will talk for an hour

[@CWYMAN77]

3:14 Holy shit he’s hilarious.

[@magiclampboogiesdown9717]

Rose sounds a little like Chris Farley

[@johnfranklin1955]

All-Star game or not and any catcher will tell you, when a catcher blocks the plate all bets ore off. It used to be that way anyway.

[@rodneymichaelmoore]

BASEBALL WAS SO MUCH BETTER BACK THEN

[@aarond23]

His bit about Ray Fosse is true...only famous for one clip

[@benda18]

The Jenny Craig joke was like taking sheep to slaughter

[@thebookdoc.writing.and.editing]

You would have to convince me that Rose ever bet against his own team and threw a game before I could accept the possibility that he does not belong in the hall. This man is inspiring. He would never throw a game because he is too much of a competitor. I could give a damn if he bet on his team to win. You want that. In high school, most of the best athletes played lacrosse. It left our baseball team with some serious problems. There was not one game, one play, one moment where I was not in every second of the game. I don't care how much we were losing by. I remember one time our coach called me out in a blowup where he put me in for the last 3 innings of an away game where we were already down 15 to 1. On the bus back, he was livid. "Lynch was the only one on the field playing the game. Where were the rest of you?" The same thing happened in a cross-country meet. I used to run to get ready for baseball. I wasn't good at it. But the coach had a checkpoint halfway through, and I was his last team member to pass. When he saw me he got on the course and started running with me to pace me. He said "Lynch. Keep this pace, and you catch those two guys in front of you before the finish." I did. I caught them and passed them and I did what I was inspired to do. Then on the bus back, the coach berated the rest of the team saying that even if I was the last one in place on the field of the entire team, I showed more heart than anyone else. I should have been a ball player. I lost heart stupidly at a tryout in 1981 at St. Johns University. The first two pitchers to throw were Frank Viola and Joe Franco. They were seniors and they had a little preferential treatment. I was a freshman and I could see how advanced their skills were playing first division BB for the previous 3 years. I had a class to get to and I had to decide to go to class or try to make the team. It was the only time I ever gave up in my life. The media tells people who are the good guys and the bad guys. Barry Bonds didn't hit all those HRs just because of steroids. he also was not the first to use performance enhancement. Look to Pud Galvin in the 1800s. The rest of that 'steroid' shit is media hype. it isn't cheating. It is competing. Competitors do what they do to win a game. From the time I was a fill-in for a missing player at my brother's softball game when I was in seventh grade to that moment when I decided to go to class, I was a competitor. The outfield came in on me because I was 5 years younger and I whacked one over their heads. A few games later I pulled an unassisted triple play at 2nd base catching a ball I had no right to get a glove on. It was first and second and I grabbed the liner over the bag before it bounced into center, I swipe-tagged the base and tagged the runner coming in from first who assumed the ball was by me. It might have been the fastest triple play in the history of the game. I was five years younger than just about anyone on the field, but I earned their respect. They played at normal depth after that. They never shouted, "hit it to the kid" anymore. What is the sense of damning players for competing? The only thing that is shameful is quitting.

BASEBALL FORGIVE HIM AND FORGET ABOUT IT THATS IT

[@stevemendenhall2680]

HOF for Pete

[@GetBenched2010]

Pete would get his own statue in Cincinatti next to Bench and Morgan. Manfred has allowed Pete to enter ballparks again in recent year as well as allowing him to wear officially licensed MLB merch in public. All of this has been an olive branch showing that MLB will indeed reinstate Pete if he would just promise to stop gambling. (Something Pete has gone on record that he refuses to do.) But MLB is indeed making the effort to give Rose the path he needs to go to not only get reinstated, but also to Cooperstown.

[@bigglilwayne7050]

MLB should lead by example and stop their participation in the gambling industry, there's nothing more hypocritical than setting the rules on the ol "do as I say, not as i do" standard....

[@runner6500]

[@masonrahal6980]

You can’t trust an addicted gambler. The sanctity of the game is the most important aspect of baseball. Pete broke the Trust. You can’t repair that. Sorry Guys.

[@mikejennings4495]

Rule number one.. don't bet on baseball. The FBI addresses this in every clubhouse. Sorry Pete.

[@jimfrisk688]

It’s not a fbi rule, a mlb one. It’s not a criminal act to bet on baseball as a manager.
