Quote

I haven't missed a game in two-and-a-half years. I go to the park as sick as a dog and, when I see my uniform hanging there, I get well right now. Then I see some of you guys (media) and I get sick again.

I'm not bad (his speed). I'm no Joe Morgan, but I'm pretty good for a white guy.

You know, baseball's not stupid. Baseball does what the fans want, usually.
Pete Rose
