RIP Pete Rose

One of the greatest players ever...who had a sad, and controversial end to his career.

RIP.  He and Johnny Bench were heroes of mine when I was in 6th Grade

Same here but a little later, about Sophomore in high school. The Big Red Machine was a thing of beauty back in the 70's. This makes me feel VERY old. And sad. Good Bye Pete.  :cry:

He got his 4000th hit during his brief stint with the Expos.  Here Gary Carter and Angel Salazar congratulate him.
