Pete Rose was my favorite player growing up in Cincinnati, he played hard, slid headfirst into the bases and just got on base..a lot. Was crushed when he left for Philadelphia but he came back and we got to see him break the all time hit record in Riverfront Stadium. Sept 11, 1985
yeah, like no one ever slid head first into the base or ran hard.
amen
My favorite player!
I noticed that mysterious DATE several years ago 👌🏾💚🔜 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ will OCCURRED 🍭🍰🍡1️⃣6️⃣ YEARS later😮😵💫😪✔️‼️ G0D ALMIGHTY way of saying to 🔥 BOUND LOST pagan secularist🔜 REPENT ➕ BE BORN➖AGAIN 🇺🇸 idiot S ❗️👋💋
We all learned to play like Pete as kids!!!!
Joe - I miss your dad. But I wanted to say this. I gained so much respect for you as an interviewer or broadcaster. I truly enjoyed the way you just let him talk. I doubt you’ll read this but I just wanted you to know.
Joe Buch sucks and is no where near what his father was
This is social media, not an obituary site. You must be confused.
@@thomasallen6980😂
Next HOF will say if they got divorced they can not be in it ? ? ? I just called Cooperstown to find out why #25 Dodger Jimmy C cannot be in HOF they told me they have to played 10 or more yrs (he only played 6 yrs as catcher)
@@thomasallen6980 Let it go......
Like him or hate him, he was one hell of a ball player!!!!!
That's what maters one of the best❤
Yes, he was, and I may feel differently if he had owned up to what he did and apologized, but he lied about for nearly 20 years. I say, HELL NO, he does NOT belong in the Hall of Fame.
You got that right... @@garymorris1856
What does that have to do with his BASEBALL career?
@@user-un4mb3um7s EVEREYTHING!
Loved how he looked at the audience, not Buck, for the answers.
Pete is Charlie Hustle. Played the way it should be played
However, only ON the Field, NOT OFF...😮
@@mikewhite4560 exactly! 🤣😂
Great player but, got big headed and thought himself above the law!
Well, no he didn't. A local Cinnannti Reporter found some things out about his career including accusations that he may have corked his bat while playing. He would never allow anyone to touch or look at his bats. Beyond that, he did gamble on the game as the player and Manager.
@@mikewhite4560who cares, we’ve all made poor choices
As a youth baseball coach, Pete Rose was the ONLY player we ever mentioned to our players. Played like he loved the game and played 100%.
WTF is WRONG with you? He BET on his OWN team...Get counseling
@@BBAKER22So, no one played better than him at what he did! You? You ain't played competitive sports, me? Ex Pop Warner straight to Div1 NCAA football 2 yrs then US Navy.
@@BBAKER22That didn’t used to be a felony. Chicago Black Sox scandal wakes up the simple, and thence forward all gamblers must bear the brunt? Horse race trainers bet on their own runners and everything’s fine. Be sure to clutch your pearls on the way out, all ye faint hearted.
My coach, when I was 8, said he liked my hustle, and that I played like the Reds rookie, Pete Rose.
@@JayAr709 dude it’s a felony now. It’s also against the rules in MLB punishable with a lifetime ban. Has been since 1919. Pete knew exactly what he was doing.
Pete Rose, is 82 years old. Think about that, his memory, his stamina, his fight and his humor. I am so mad that he is not in the MLBHOF... He is deserving of it. People are gambling legally now, MLB is making millions on Draftking ads and yet Rose is banned. Unbelievable, what a crime.
Because Pete is a liar
@@BrianHiggins-pi5fk Is there hard evidence of that or just an opinion? No, the real lie here is MLB telling a man to "reconfigure your life" and then never defining what exactly that means. Shameful.
@@BrianHiggins-pi5fk then keep him out of the Hall of Good People - dude is an absolute legend in baseball
@@jfayiii he's a cheater and a dishonest person in life,of he just admitted he was wrong I'd be all for him in the h.o.f,but lying 🤥 gets you nowhere in life so to that I say good riddance ✅🎯🗑️
@@BrianHiggins-pi5fk he belongs to the H.O.F. as a player and NOT as a manager.
Yeah Pete is just Pete. One of kind. Looks great for 75. Why WHY won’t they put him in before he dies. I say he has paid the price. PUT HIM IN!!
He never paid the price. The guy was a huge jerk back in his day off of the camera. Why do you think the writers of baseball didn't vote him in? The gambling is just the excuse to keep him out. That guy really stepped on a lot of toes and I saw him in action outside of the parks and around the hotels. He pissed off a lot of people.
What price did he pay for raping a 14 year old girl?
@@paulgwyn7836
you obviously don't know what you are talking about.
The baseball writers association of America are the one's who vote players in.

I can make you do anything. I'm in your head. 🤣😂
I'm not a baseball fan, but this was a fascinating first hand account of a slice of American history from an American icon. Whatever officially happens to Pete Rose's name in the annals of baseball will not tarnish his accomplishments or respect many have for him.
I can hear Pete Rose tell stories forever lol this man just pours charisma you want to keep hearing talk
Great interview Joe! Growing up a Cardinals fan in the 60's & 70's I didn't liked the Reds but always admired Pete's play.
STOP TRYING TO BE THE MAN THAT DON'T CRY. AND CINCINNATI DIDN'T MAKE THE MEN DON'T CRY OR BASEBALL PLAYERS DON'T CRY. CINCINNATI A WEAK ASS CITY ANYWAY. AINT HAD A GOOD TEAM IN FOOTBALL OR BASEBALL IN 50 YEARS. PETE ROSE YOU ONE OF THE BEST EVER. CINCINNATI SUCKS THO SORRY CINCI BOAS
And PETE, YOU ALREADY DID TOO MANY DRUGS. STOP LYING AND ACCEPT THE FACT AND ADMIT YOUR GAMBLING IN 86. WHY YOU GONNA SIT THERE AND LIE ABOU T NOT REMEMBERING BETTING ON A YEAR THEY HAVE YOU ON PAPER. GREAT MAN ACCEPT FOR THE TRUTH DOESN'T COME OUT
Same here as a Yankee/Mets fan.
He still beds on games no hall fame for.you.said Bob feller
It's so nice to see someone giving Pete a break.
Nothing wrong with letting PETE talk. Just don’t ever let him step foot on any MLB owned property ever again.
Lol...WTF is WRONG with you?
@@alex11361You too! No need for you to tailgate either!
@@alex11361He shouldn't be allowed in the vicinity of teenage girls either. Throw in drug trafficking and you have the Pete Rose "Trinity."
pete thanks for that world series in 1980 could have never done it without you we needed your leadership
1980,,?? When he was with Philadelphia
yes you must be a young dude i have been a phillies fan since 1959 we never won anything until we got pete he was a great baseball player but a terrible person@@georgetheobold4973
Yes he was with Philadelphia when they won the World Series in 1980
You're right. Cincinnati probably would've won again in 1980 with Pete.
Dodger fan here,,, I got lucky twice to be able to meet him 1st time with my 10 yr old son we got autograph 2nd time I got to sit down next to him in Las Vegas at the airport and watch a playoff baseball game and we spoke for 45 min while we waited for our plane we talked baseball he was amazing what an absolutely lucky lifetime experience it was he was so cool .
Did you guys discuss his sexual relationships with 14 year old girls?
@@alex11361 No, they discussed pathetic trolls who have nothing better to do than talk crap online. Get a life dude.
@@bradfors6872 So you have nothing of substance to add? I’m just asking questions. It seems you can’t answer them either??
@@bradfors6872 I give you one reason after another why Rose should never be allowed to step foot on any MLB property ever again. I really don’t care what the HOF does. MLB has ZERO to do with the HOF. They’re two separate entities. You probably didn’t know that until right now? I’m glad I could educate you on now matter what the MLB Commissioner says that the HOF could vote Pete in at any time. The MLB Commissioner doesn’t control the HOF. This lesson was free. Let me know if you’d like a further education opportunities on Rose!
@@alex11361strange that is what you are fixated on. Kind of telling about your feelings about 14 year olds
You manage a baseball team. You want players like Pete Rose.
I was A Kid in the 1970s and 1980s CHARLIE HUSTLE WAS THAT GUY THAT WE ALL WAS TAUGHT TO TRY TO BE.. THAT MAN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BASEBALL PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME OF BASEBALL. HIS RECORD AND RECORDS SHOULD STAND NEXT TO COBB the Racists ,Robbinson,and Babe.. This WAS a Great Interview ,Joe Thanks😊

As New York City Mayor Edward I. Koch used to say, “I can explain it to you; but, I can’t comprehend it for you.”
My father took me to see the "Big Red Machine" multiple times, memories I will cherish to the end. Pete Rose (is one of a kind) and the Reds are one in the same (of my generation at the very least).
Pete roses is the best I have ever seen in my life I'm 55 years old and I have played ball most of my life and my dad played as well now my my sons are playing Pete rose is the league
The best? Lol...WTF is WRONG with you? He gambled on baseball
@@BBAKER22 who gives a fuck he still the best ever
@@BBAKER22 gambled or not, Pete Rose was always all about winning, EACH AND EVERY GAME!
@@bobbyblount7018Best ever is a ludicrous overstatement.
@@bobbyblount7018Bobby, he was never even the best player on his own team. When he was in high school, Eddie Brinkman was more sought after. When Pete came up with the Reds, Frank Robinson was vastly superior. Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan were both better than Pete and their teammates will tell you that. When Pete went to Philly, Jack Schmidt was the best player on the field. In Montreal, Tim Raines and Andre Dawson were better. Also...NONE of the players I mentioned served time for drug trafficking, never admitted to knowingly sleeping with 15 year-old girls nor get caught violating league gambling rules.
I loved Pete as a player and analyst.....still remarkable memory for detail.....
I truly think BB has shot themselves in the foot . With his knowledge, enthusiasm for the game and total recall of events and stories of past games and players, he could have been one of the biggest ambassadors to promote the sport in modern times. Right now, in these competitive times, BB needs all the help they can get to move forward and maintain interest for the younger generation coming up.
Some hate Pete so much they want him personally doomed to eternal hell.
The HOF needs Pete more then Pete needs them. Rose is a national treasure.
See how he speaks to the audience. He belongs in the hall of Fame. Everyone deserves a second chance. He played hard and hustled.
To me this is a very sad story and a miscarriage of just common sense Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame !!!
I saw Pete many times at his restaurant in Boca in 1993 and 1994 and he was always nice to me. He actually invited me to join him while i was eating my dinner and he was a super awesome guy.
PUT ROSE IN THE HALL OF FAME!!! HE WAS A GREAT PLAYER, MY FAVORITE TEAM IN THE 70'S

@@mikewhite4560You are obviously a loose cannon being a Obiden supporter! Take your meds and go nighty night, little boi!
@@mikewhite4560Why are you mixing politics and sports? Pete isn't a felon all he did was run afoul of a moral code. I'm sick of MLB acting like they are a wholesum entity and the fans with a superiority complex!! News flash it's been decades since baseball was the preeminent sport in America. Pete should be in the HOF considering that a great many men in the HOF are some really disgusting people far worse than Pete.
@@eac1235 How old are you? He most definitely IS A FELON! Look it up. He served time for tax evasion at the Federal Penitentiary in Marion, IL. He served his time in the medium security prison camp.
@mr.intensity2685 I'm 55 Mr Nosey. You are correct it's because of the taxes . He paid back over 361,000 thousand dollars in tax and restitution. However he didn't set out to do anything illegal. That happened because of poor business management, hired help. Strangely enough that issue surfaced because of the Dowd report. Even still he accepted his punishment, never appealed and took full responsibility. Bottom line he still deserves to be in the HOF. As I said previously there are way worse people than Pete in all of the HOF's.
Pete should be in the Hall of Fame. Best hitter of all time. Ridulous.
*Ridiculous.
@@annehajdu8654You are who? More sports fans with Rose than you.
Thank you for having Pete Rose on the show. There are a LOT of haters, that’s Morgan an Bench included. HOF here gentlemen!
Bench isn't a hater, he told it like it was. If Rose had come clean, went to rehab he only would have been suspended. Rose never would have went to prison and the FBI made a deal with the organized crime bookies to forgive Rose's hundreds of thousands in debt. Bench also knew about Rose bringing underage girls to Spring Training camp and making the other players uncomfortable as Hell with them hanging around the clubhouse.
Rose didn't care that possibly one of these 13 to 17 year old girls could falsely accuse a player. Imagine if some 14 year old girl accused Johnny Bench of having an affair, he'd never be able to live it down, just the accusation was enough back then to ruin a player. They stayed away from the girls and none of the Reds was accused of statutory rape except Rose according to John Dowd who was the investigator who made the case against Rose. Rose got out of it because Ohio's age of consent is 16, but not Florida and she claimed their relationship started way before she turned 16.
Dowd didn't put the statutory rape charges in his report as they weren't relevant. Just like he didn't put Rose's betting against the Reds by betting ON them every night except when he didn't, remember he owed some unsavory characters up to half a million dollars by all estimates. Don't think they did not notice when Rose didn't place bet ON the Reds. It was a clear sign to bet large against the Reds. It is in the Cincinnati newspaper article I'm going to link. It is a long read, but also talks about Rose fronting money for drugs. If you want to read about the underage girls just Google Pete Rose and underage girls, John Dowd. You'll get a few thousand hits. I said nothing that isn't documented. Pete Rose is a pedophile scumbag and still lies, he's already contradicted shit he wrote in his so called tell-all book.

@@MountainFisher Thanks for the eye-opening information. According to the article both Schmidt and Morgan support Rose's reinstatement.
@@dhruvadude808 Oh yea, Morgan has wanted Rose inducted into the HOF for a long time, but Bench said what was on his mind about it on the Dan Patrick show and has never changed his mind. Rose had his chance and thought he was too popular to knock down. It is Rose's fault he isn't in baseball and no one else's.
Think about this, there hasn't been a single gambling case since Pete Rose. And MLB did not want to bring the hammer down on Rose, he did it himself.
@@MountainFisher I appreciate the update!
I'm glad I was able to watch him play!
I saw virtually all of his games and lived through the era of his 43 game hitting streak.
I watched him play against the Mets in 1982.
Biggest snub of any HoF ever. He deserves to be in.
Pete is a legend and to baseball fans he is a hall of famer already.
He needs to be in the real Hall.
… Rose should also be in LIARS’ Hall of Fame.

Nope
@@garythomas4936well aren’t you the cutest thing!🥰🥰🥰
Love hearing Pete talk nothing but great things about his dad. Is it just me or does he look really good for 82. Still very sharp.
I love that Mr. Rose would face the audience when sharing his life.
Transparency is key and Pete rose is just that a man’s man he’s a hall of famer!

@@BufordTGleason100% well said
Google "Outside the Lines Pete Rose." Pete is a liar.
There's NOBODY like him before him or after him. The ONE AND ONLY!!!
Put him an Old Timer's game and make your choice based upon fan reaction. MLB wouldn't dare allow that.
He didn't get the name Charlie Hustle for nothing, He was a great player a smart and likable guy as real a person as they come.
I love how Pete addresses and engages the audience.
If a player just coming in got 200 hits a year, 20 years in a row, they would still fall way short of his record.
uh, short, but not way short. SMH
20 x 200 is 4,000...one more year with 200 hits...almost catches Pete. Problem is playing 21 years and getting enough plate appearances to do it...have to be good enough to start and stay healthy...also have to be young to start...can't start your career at 24, 25 years old
@@michaelbaucom4019Or...you're way past your prime...become a terrible manager under idiotic ownership...place yourself on the active roster at the expense of more deserving players and insert yourself into random situations in order to achieve a particular number. Pete was done as a player 5 years before he caught Ty Cobb. Note that the moment Pete Rose was kicked out of baseball...Cincinnati hired Lou Piniella and won a World Series.
The guy has natural charisma and a great story teller. He would be a dynamite guest speaker.
Like stepping back in time listening to this interview and Pete Rose talk.
Time for reinstatement

Nobody has ever said Pete Rose was a good person. But millions have said he was a phenomenal player. He was. I hated him in the 70’s, as the Reds kept beating my Dodgers!!
Still, he was so incredible.
Who gives a damn about the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Hall has little respect until a Rose or Bonds is there. That's a fact.
I agree with rose not bonds
He gives little respect to his victims and all the bookies he didn't pay he likes to write checks that bounce I hear I'm from Cincinnati so I know trust me.
Pete Rose deserves the HOF.

Love you, Pete Rose
He should be in the hall of fame
So they should change a rule that has been in place for over a hundred years just to accommodate Rose.In every major league baseball locker room,there is a sign,saying,betting on baseball is prohibited.He knew that.He decided to break that rule.He knew the consequences,of doing so.
put him IN!!!!!

Are you naive enough to believe that none of that money is gambled by athletes, league officials or officials??? Or that none of that money goes to said individuals?? The baseball HOF needs to look at who's already in their HOF( some really disgusting men)and the stupid committee who elects individuals arbitrarily into the HOF needs to let go of their holier than thou attitudes.Any real HOF would allow a fan vote.

That’s the good thing about the MLB HOF. It’s not a popularity contest!
True
I have no problem whatsoever with them cracking down on him. The problem is how all sports and our entire society has embraced sports gambling and ruined the entirity of the games believability, integrity and purity.

The team I was on won a championship and I got MVP for hitting and base stealing. . Thanks Pete and thanks for the 1980 world series here in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

Let me preface this with a truth, when Pete Rose played baseball I always hated him but perhaps it was because he never played for a team I liked. That said, Pete Rose is undeniably the best or at least one of the best all around baseball players to ever play the game. SHAME on MLB for a lifetime ban on this great player for doing something that professional baseball along with all other sports lovingly embraces today. It will be a crying shame if this baseball great is not inducted into the hall of fame except posthumously. The ban needs to be lifted and this man should be inducted immediately!
My late mom's favorite actor was John Wayne, and her favorite ballplayer was Pete Rose.

He should still get in. The gambling does not diminish his accomplish ments on the field. It pales in comparison. The man is the all time hits leader.

@@BBAKER22Get over yourself! Every one cheats! But Rose was the best physically on the field! You? Ha, best at hating! Leave us ex players to sports!
@@BBAKER22 soWHAT ! HE PAID HIS DUE FUKR! YOU SOUND LIKE THAT OLD CRABBY BITCH THAT BANNED HIM ! ,EVERYONE GETS A 2ND CHANCE! OR 3RD ! HE WAS BASEBALL
GUMASS!!!🤬
That hit stat is super amazing
Get him in The HOF NOW !!
I was born in Pittsburgh in 1965 and from birth I didn't like Charlie Hustle. With that said Pete Rose is in the top 3 players in MLB. He is the epitome of dedication and effort. We need Pete Rose more now than ever. I don't need MLB to tell me Pete Rose is in the HOF.
Rose is not even top 20. As a talent. As a hard and hustling player absolutely top 3.
I was too young to really understand the Pete Rose saga when it went down, but really enjoyed this interview. He always seemed like a really tough guy to me, which he is, but also a good guy I think.
Better do a little more research. He’s an absolute horrible human. Look up what he did to underage girls during his playing career never Convicted because the statute of limitations ran out before these girls had the courage to speak up. He’s also a convicted felon serving time for federal tax fraud, money laundering and wire fraud.
I have been a Reds fan all my life-up til Pete left. he was my fav.
Great interview with Pete ....Love Pete please best player in baseball let him in the hall of fame well deserved !!!
No he does NOT
People say this or that one is the best theyve ever seen. Well I've seen many and many with great physical ability like Dick Allen , but Rose is until Ichiro THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN . HE GOT THE FURTEST WITH LESS TALENT BUT GREATER HUNGER. SO HE IS THE BEST EVER IN THAT HE ACHIEVED EVERYTHING HE STRIVED FOR. I THINK HE WENT TO 4 WORLD SERIES
I grew up watching Mr. Pete Rose,, everyone playing baseball in the local park played like Pete, head first slides, going for 2nd on a single. He is and will always be the best baseball player ever.
Never heard Pete talk so in depth of his life , family, and baseball career. Sorry, FUCK the baseball HOF.
Yeah he made a mistake, but judge him on his baseball achievements
PERIOD !!!
@garygarber7668 Mistake would be only couple of times. The man had a 6 figure gambling habit. For decades
@@charlesdoyle3630 He developed a gambling addiction - not a lot different than other addictions.
@@brendanjobe6895 Not saying he did not have an addiction. But he had multiple chances to come clean. He even fucked up a deal that would have kept him out of prison. Paid off gambling debts which were in 6 figures. Eventually let him in. And he screwed that up majorly
When I was a kid growing up in the 70s (Texas) all of us kids who played baseball looked up to this guy as The Man !! We all started sliding head first into bases instead of feet first. Probably not the wisest thing to do, but hey, we all wanted to be Pete.
What a character! What a ball player!!
What a memory for dates
Pete's honesty is so refreshing. We are all battling demons, this interview made me realize some of my own.
Pete is the poster player of all time one of my favorite players of all time
Man, I love listening to Pete Rose talk about baseball! Or anything really. MLB, put Charlie hustle in the Hall.
Rose admitted in 2004 that he bet on baseball and on the Reds
Is there THERAPY in your FUTURE?
PETE'S A DOUCHE...
Trump 2024...
@radar0412 Yes he did. He's more than paid a debt to society, baseball and himself. It's time to let it go.
Agreed. I don’t like how they won’t tell him what he has to do to make amends? And if he’s betting or doing what he wants now, and it’s not illegal, I don’t see the issue. You can’t tell someone how to live their life. He isn’t hurting anyone.
A Phillies Fan Here.
WHY didn't the HIT KING come CLEAN from DAY 1?
Maybe his INFLATED E G O
Pete has the greatest baseball memory.
Undoubtably one of the greatest players of all time.. if you know baseball you can't deny it
If Rose would have had an interpreter, he would be in the Hall of Fame.
Please put this man in the Hall before he passes.
Lol..NOT gonna happen, and he does NOT deserve it
Excellent interview !!!
I met PETE in 1989 when he was managing the Reds, and I was working for a TV show. He was friendly and generous with his time during a week we covered him in Cincinnati & San Diego. Against MLB rules he autographed my field ID pass - still a treasured possession. (And so did Johnny Bench!) He has EARNED a place in the HOF!
I used to take my family to The Pete Rose Ballpark Cafe in Boca Raton just to relive childhood memories. Greatest player in MLB still 🥇
THANX FOR THE RECALL! I JUST MENTIONED IT IN MY POST AS WELL BUT, COULDN'T THINK OF THE NAME.. ALL I THOUGHT OF WAS WILT'S! REGARDS
When he was working at fox, I loved hearing everything he had to say. He is a baseball legend
He defines BASEBALL 👍and I hope they elect him to the HOF. 👍👍👍
Didn't Charlie Hustle BET ON BASEBALL as a MANAGER?
Wondering?
@@mikewhite4560 -yes he did Mike, and shouldn’t have. But Giamatti promised him that 1 yr after that, if he quit the gambling, that he would review the suspension and reinstate hid being banned. Pete agreed, but Giamatti died 3 days later. Bud Selig took over as commissioner and changed the ruling. 👎
Didn't know that.
As a Young PHILLIES Fan saw his 1st Game at the VET, 3 Hits vs. PIRATES.
Talked to him in Cooperstown, where of course, he was Signing Autographs for ZOMBIES.
However it took ROSE YEARS to COME CLEAN....
@@mikewhite4560 old head
As a young ballplayer, Pete spent a lot of time around Waite Hoyt and now, he's become him. They're two of the greatest baseball storytellers that ever lived.
52-year-old LIFELONG PHILLIES fan here; Schmidty was my idol, but without Rosie, man, we don't win that 1980 Series. Because those '80 Royals were GOOD!!
TO THIS DAY, if you're gonna start ball team with any player in history, it's Rose all day long.
Every Fan of the 70's - 80 Phils knows what you said IS THE TRUTH!
Pete Rose is the best this man should be in the Hall of Fame and he should be in the main lobby of the Hall of Fame he's that good and that good of a person
I totally agree with you . W k Kaiser AKA krumholz
Good person. ROFLMFAO
So you think Adults who rape 14 year old girls are good people?
Never mind he had sex with a 14 year old girl as a player in Cincinnati! Yeah he’s a swell human being! LOL
Not a Cincinnati guy. This guy is the greatest living legend on earth. Charlie hustle
Thank you.
What a great use of my time
Mikey Mantle as the impetus of the nickname "Charlie Hustle" for Pete Rose is LEGENDARY!
