There is an old saying that money can't buy happiness. If it could, I would buy myself four hits every game.
Pete Rose
Image
I told him (Pete Rose, Jr.) who to watch. I said if you want to be a catcher, watch Johnny Bench. If you want to be a right-handed power hitter, watch Mike Schmidt. If you just want to be a hitter, watch me.

I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball.

The only book I ever read cover to cover was The Pete Rose Story. I read half of The Lou Gehrig Story and then made a book report on it for four straight years.
Pete Rose
Image
I played with 11 Hall of Famers and played against 52 Hall of Famers, and I don't know any of them linked to steroids.
Pete Rose
Image
I don't smoke. Smoking will hurt you when you try to run out a triple.

If you screw up and do something, don't lie about it come clean.
Pete Rose
Image
I've never looked forward to a birthday like I'm looking forward to my new daughter's birthday, because two days after that is when I can apply for reinstatement.
Pete Rose
Image
I owe baseball. Baseball don't owe me a damn thing.
Pete Rose
Image
If I had admitted my guilt, it would have been the same as putting my head on the chopping block - lifetime ban. Death penalty. I spent my entire life on the baseball fields of America, and I was not going to give up my profession without first seeing some hard evidence ... right or wrong, the punishment didn't fit the crime, so I denied the crime.

I don't go to bed every night worried about getting back into baseball.
