Every athlete in R10’s posted ad looks grim, even Jim Palmer. Ouch.

Woah. I didn't know the following until I just read it in the NY Times obit.

The investigator in charge of looking into whether he gambled on baseball said that Rose had sex with 13- and 14-years old girls.

One woman testified that she was under 16 when she had sex with Rose. Rose states he thought she was 16, the age of consent in Ohio.

I just heard the cashiers at my local grocery talking about him, which isn't unusual in Cincinnati. I can't say that I'll miss him.

R10 Who's looking at his haircut in those ads ? Not me, or any other gayling.

From Cincy and loved Pete despite his stupid gambling. He was a River Rat, but what a hometown ball player. When he came back to the Reds as Player/Manager my company had season tickets and somehow I lucked out to see his first at bat with a basehit and a stolen base. Incredible ovation. He didn't the HOF and those hypocrites who voted other cheaters in. R.I.P. Pete.

From the article: [quote] Now, in death, it remains to be seen whether Pete will finally have his rightful place in Cooperstown.

Hell NO. What ever happened to consequences for one's actions? Even though he's now dead to us, he doesn't deserve Hall of Fame recognition or any other sort of posthumous "cleanup" of his legacy. If anything, the HOF should agree to admit him only with a simple monument of shame that talks about his baseball gambling including on his own team's games and doesn't mention one fucking word about his athletic accomplishments in the game.

A great baseball player, but a truly shitty human being. Betting on games your team is involved in is beyond fucked up. I'm glad he was blacklisted from the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Pete Rose did add a lot of color and excitement to baseball (before the betting scandal broke). He reminds me of Jimmy Connors (tennis player) in looks and temperament.

From the grave, Pete is betting on whether or not Susan Dey will issue a statement.

She's kind of busy these days not responding to everyone else who has died.

by Anonymousreply 51October 1, 2024 6:03 AM

I’m a native Cincinnatian from the West Side near where Pete Rose is from. He went to Western Hills HS.. The Roses were ‘West Side royalty’, and his son was in the same grade as me. Looking back, Pete epitomized West Side trashiness and wasn’t very bright outside of baseball. He squandered so much opportunity.

Fun fact, ‘The Dock’, the biggest gay bar in Cincy, was located on 2nd Street along the Ohio River which was later renamed Pete Rose Way. Some of my earliest gayling memories were on Pete Rose Way! It closed in 2018 to make way for redevelopment. RIP Dock (1984-2018).

by Anonymousreply 52October 1, 2024 9:08 AM

R52 another West Sider from Cincy here. I knew Pete Jr. from a gym in Price Hill, and he told the story about being on the road with his dad, who would have an assistant take Petey on shopping sprees at toy stores, and his dad would be back at the hotel with a hooker. Petey took it in stride, that was his dad. I wonder if Karolyn Rose is still alive?

What would be the point of honoring him with the hall of fame in death? That would seem a bit cruel, actually. We couldn’t bring ourselves to relent when you were alive, but your sad death made us change our minds. And you’ll never know about it.

After hearing some of the stories regarding Pete's penchant for jailbait, I would like to now imagine Pete Rose is sharing a cell with Austin Wolf. Maybe he can adopt a new hairstyle? But, other than that, out of sight, out of mind.

I don't see where he had a funeral yet, unless it was totally private and they were able to keep it off the internet somehow. I wonder if he was still gambling in his later years.

r67, your post had me thinking that maybe his family had the good taste to not risk a poor turnout if they were to have a conventional funeral.

Or, as is happening more and more some people are pretty adamant to their family that they want no service of any kind, granted, that for an attention hound like Rose, that seems unlikely.
