I would like to have seen him in the late 60's and early 70's when he was one of the best players in the game. "Pete Rose hustled in every facet of the game like he was being chased by a leopard." - Bill James
Instead, I saw him in the late 80's when he was the worst hitter in the Reds line up, hitting 3rd, taking away at bats from developing players so that he could attain personal glory by breaking longevity records. Even worse is that he was the Reds manager, in a position where he was supposed to be doing the best for the team.
Also, that mop has to go. Probably the worst lid of any current or former athlete.
