Rose, who turns 64 April 14...
Gosh, that made me feel a bit sad. Can Pete Rose really be 64 years old?

I don't mean to start a war against all the Pete Rose fans, but I'm wondering if this statement still holds true after the admission and the book. Pete Rose lost a lot of points with me personally after admitting what he had done. I still think he was a hell of a ballplayer, but I certainly don't think he's an "absolute god".

I still think they should use the beano lady for the commercials. Anyone else find that comical?

He's still the Red named on the street next to the ballpark. That has to count for something in the name-recognition department.

I was surprised by the revelation in that article that he comes to the city 2x/month. Between those trips and having homes on both coasts, that's some serious frequent-flyer miles.
