#38i can just imagine how many of his autographs are flying around. They must be worth about 15 cents now. Maybe 20 cents when he dies.Comment -

#39Pete, to the baseball league commissioner years ago:
Pete - "I don't gamble."
Pete - "Well, I only do craps, etc."
Pete - "Okay, I gamble on sports, but only on horses and dogs."
Pete - "Okay, I also gamble on team sports, but NEVER on baseball."
Pete - "Well, I gamble on baseball, but never on the team I'm managing!"
Pete - "Well, I bet on my team, but ONLY TO WIN!"
The denial was fierce, but it is the last thing that got me. On the days you DIDN'T bet on your team, that is the same signal as betting against them.Comment -

#41Pete never had a losing season as Manager
3 second place finishes, always 85-90 wins
Got the hook too early in 89
Team won WS in 90....should have been his club
Guy gets a bad rap

#44Pete loves horseracing. I saw him years ago, when I lived in Vegas, at a dive casino west of the strip named Arizona Charlies. He was sitting in the racebook by himself betting ponies watching the big screen intently. I walked over to say hello and before I could get anything out of my mouth he reached over and shook my hand. I have no beef about this guy.Comment -

#51And for what its worth Pete brought Philly that title and played the game the way it should be played. They were not winning the world series without him. He would still make an excellent manager.Comment -

#55his brother coached me in all star games. Had pleasure to meet the whole red machine. Pete rose while a hell of a ball player is a piece of shit. That is why joe morgan had to broker piece between him and johnny bench. Also played in flag football league against him. Most of my friends grew up with him. Heard he was a hacker playing basketballComment -

many times. he used to go to bar in frogtown ohio .But he never drank. Gambled at latonia downs. He came into a bar I was at while getting his corvette fixed. He told the bartender to buy the bar a round. When he went to leave the owner said hey you owe me for that round. Pete said you don't expect me to pay for it do you. Gunny said hell yes. He wrote a check to the bar and told the guy to never cash it because his signature was going to be worth a fortune.Comment -

#61My bosses brother in law is the biggest bookie in ohio,indiana and ky. He told me stories about pete. There were maybe 6 major bookies in tri-state. He stiffed everyone. If you ever watch kentucky derby. Their is a announcer named mike battaglia. Supposedly they hit a pick six and pete never gave him his part. latonia became turfway park and battaglia as the regular announcer there. That guy would tell you who he liked but bet others. In my previous life I was a degenerate gambler. Go to track at 1 and stay til close than go play gin until the bar closed.Comment -

#62[QUOTE=19th Hole;27746787]Pete never skipped stroke therapy.
Buddy the guys i hung out with were connected.i hung out on the west side of cincy at place called price hill chili. Mike mathis the basketball ref ate there all the time. zimmer and pete ate there when they were on the west side. I knew before they died the youngest and 4 youngest players in the mlb. Cincy is a close nit town. My buddy has been in charge of the reds parade for over 20 years so i got to meet the grand marshal every year.
.
jibbs tell me who this guy is? We were bagging meters the day before the parade.Comment -

#64When i was in college i used to work the reds rally. One of my dad's cousins ran marge schotts garage at her dealership. He got me a job parking cars at her reds rally. I drove eric davis white mercedes. But sabo wouldn't let me park his piece of shit car. I drove tim birtsas car and he was 6'5 and i was a lot shorter. I ended up chirping his car and he was pissed.Comment -

#68Guys got a couple years left why would it matter to him how he blows his money?
I see him all the time here in Vegas. He's a regular at a couple local spots.
He's a nice guy I never see him not talk to anyone when they try to.
When you ask him for an autograph he will direct you to where his next signing is out here as wellComment -
