"It's Sad" - Dan Patrick Shares Thoughts About Pete Rose Amid New Documentary Series | 7/26/24

The personality you describe as Pete's - never apologize, keep going forward - that made him a great player, also made him an addict.

It amazes me . hold our sports icons to a higher standard than our politicians.

If only Giamatti had the brilliance to send Pete Rose to a semi pro basketball team until the gambling scandal died down.

I went to Cooperstown about nine years ago. Pete didn't have a plaque in the Plaque Gallery but there was a display with Pete's bat and a few other items of his (jersey and glove, I think). He hasn't been inducted but the HOF recognized his accomplishments.

it's sad because pete rose is a quintessential cincinnati west-sider. from western hills high school, blue collar family, not the most natural talent, but just worked harder than everyone else. the fact that he went on to win multiple world series titles for the hometown team and set the records he did is storybook. people would be worshipping the ground he walked on. there'd be countless statues around the city had he not ruined his reputation. a lot of people from cincinnati still worship him don't get me wrong, but it was definitely massively dampened. you can tell the people here want their hometown hero to be rehabilitated so badly and I think it really hurts so many people that are from here that he's sort of been taken away from them

Dan, I could listen to you talk about Pete and the Reds all day my man

I know this: Without Pete Rose, my Phillies wouldn't have won their first World Series championship in 1980. I also know this: Pete broke a rule that you just can't break, and he agreed to a lifetime ban.

As a kid he was the only player that I can remember wanting to watch on TV. You can't tell the story of baseball without Pete Rose. I think he definitely belongs in the HOF.

Dan, I've enjoyed your show for two decades now and appreciate your objectivity. Much love to you, many of us have enjoyed you for years!

I’m 56, and the only person that I feel that can compare to Pete’s playing style and on the field domination was Larry Bird. Both players weren’t the most talented, but yet we’re extremely dominant because of their shear will to win.

I love listening to Dan talk about old school baseball

Nobody wanted their hair cut like Pete had.

Dan not wanting to hang with Rose or Taylor sounded very self righteous

The Big Red Machine. What a great time to live down the road in Dayton and be a Reds fan.

It's hard for me to sympathize with Pete. He lied to his teammates about betting. Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench then went to bat for him to get him in the HOF. He denied it until he wrote the book that he admitted it. Joe and Johnny then had nothing to do with him. They would never come back to the HOF if Pete made it in. He's a compulsive liar as well as compulsive gambler. You made your bed...

Ichiro won the MVP in 2001 hitting only 8 HRs.

Pete Rose has nobody to blame but himself. He willingly agreed to a lifetime ban, because he knows he committed baseball's cardinal sin.

Pete Rose will never make the HOF - brought to you by DraftKings.

Pete will sign a dinner roll if u pay him
