I'm surprised he hasn't set up shop at the casino in town that is always changing its name, I bet he would be their biggest attraction.

Pete Rose has always been and will be a controversial subject. Like him or not, he always gives a great interview. He does seem to look and act well for 78. I am mainly here to make fun of the “hit king” lapel shirt.

Pete can be both right and a jerk. (He’s not garbage or trash, no human being is.)

Very weak interview by Maddog. How 'bout asking him not about betting on sports...ask him if he's still betting on baseball. If Maddog's betting on baseball, that'd be a problem too. This is from just a few yrs ago:
https://www.nj.com/phillies/2015/12/...l_thats_t.htmlWhy is Pete Rose still betting on baseball? 'That's the way I get my enjoyment'
You cannot expect to get your ban from the game lifted if you insist on betting on the game. You can't expect to get on the field during batting practice or whatever if you're banned. You can't expect to get a free seat from the Reds to watch your son play if you're banned.
The way the interview should have gone is:
Pete, you still betting on baseball?
Do you understand why they can't lift the ban so long as you're betting on the game? Do you get that?
I know you do it for your enjoyment but is it worth not being able to get on the field with these young players you want to coach? Is this ban worth it just so you can continue to bet on the game?
Pete could have done so much for the Reds and the city of Cincinnati. He really was a pretty good manager. He could have led us to the World Series in 1990...and maybe more

clay carroll should not have allowed hits to those 3 M's, if the reds won that game they would have won the series
I have the opposite opinion of about everybody that's responded to this thread. Pete Rose was a great player that I'm proud to have grown up rooting for along with the rest of the BRM. Pete Rose belongs in the hall of fame and every other honor he's earned by his baseball play. Every time Pete is used it's for me the fan and I eat it up. Pete Rose brings back a great time and place for me.
However, Pete Rose cannot be allowed back in baseball, cannot be allowed in the clubhouse and cannot be allowed to be a pseudo hitting coach or whatever else he thinks he can do. Baseball is right not to take a chance on hurting their credibility by letting Pete act in any of those capacities. Rose has it backwards. He should be pissed he's not in the HOF and accept and understand why he's not allowed to work in any capacity of MLB. Whenever Rose admits to his wrongdoings he minimizes it. Like in the Johnny Bench documentary that aired a few months ago on MLB channel. He said something like "Johnny Bench is the only one who had a right to be mad at me getting suspended." No Pete, lots of people had a right to be mad at you and you did not get "suspended", you got BANNED. And you accepted that ban. And saying it the way he does insinuates that Johnny Bench is mad at MLB for "suspending" him when reality Johnny Bench was mad at Pete Rose his own actions that got him booted.
Pete didn't accept a ban from the hall of fame but he did from baseball. He should shut his mouth about wanting more than crumbs handed to him from MLB and the Reds, he's lucky to get those.
