See the ball hit the ball.

Pressure? Well it ain't hitting in forty-four straight games, because I done that and it was fun. The playoffs are pressure.

I'd be willing to bet you, if I was a betting man, that I have never bet on baseball.

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

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'm not bad (his speed). I'm no Joe Morgan, but I'm pretty good for a white guy.
Pete Rose
Image
If I had been busted for drugs instead of gambling, I'd still be managing the Reds and baseball would be paying for my rehab.

You'd be surprised how many shortcomings can be overcome by hustle.
