Re: Can RedsZone identify a Pete Rose photo?
I agree with WOY's assessment, particular the point that he's a full run at this point, not how he'd look, I think, if he was diving back to a base. I'm curious about the angle of the base. Were the bases anchored in 1975? I'm thinking they were, so the bag's angle looks a tiny bit off. One commenter did note that Rose went from first to third twice in the August 27th game.
So here's my take on a Rose slide that I did way back when.

Not this has anything to do with this note, I just thought it was pretty funny. Pete does Elvis.

I remember those iron on decal type of shirts well. After a few washings it would peel and faded.

For those of you that were adults in the 1970's (I'm looking at YOU Dave), what the hell were you thinking?
I had bad clothes back then, but I was born in 73, so I didn't have much choice in the matter.

Knowing Pete, he was probably paid to wear every single article of clothing he wore.

Starting now, I'm going to stock my drawers with t-shirts with my own picture on the front.
Who's the dude with the 'fro behind Joe? Manny Sarmiento?

My family recently got a picture of us on t-shirts. My sister and I are the only ones who wear them out regularly.

I never knew the Hit King was an expert pocket billiards player as well.

I saw it and thought the exact same thing.
I just couldn't find a tasteful way of saying it.
