A great ball player. Shame about the scandals.

But, his 24 seasons ( 1963 - 1986 ) as a player in major league baseball ( MLB ) were impressive.

I wonder if the 478th Engineering Battalion had a unit baseball team?



The one-hook is Johnny Bench. Just a couple of typical army reservists doing what privates do - moving furniture.

I fully agree - but he only gambled. NFL Players do far worse things than Pete did

RIP Pete

Furniture was 50s/60s ‘March Madness’ equivalent of 90s/2000s/20-tweens ADP/IT purchase party…

Looks like Pete Rose will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Well deserved, in my opinion. First in hits, games played, at-bats, and singles; second in doubles, and sixth in runs scored.

Shoeless Joe Jackson belongs in the hall before Pete Rose.
