See the ball hit the ball.

You know what God told the Cubs? Don't do anything until I come back.
Pete Rose

I always say, the only time you gotta worry about getting booed is when you're wearing a white uniform. And I've never been booed wearing a white uniform.
Pete Rose

I think that the most important thing to me is fans. Without the viewers, without the fans, we have nothing. So I think the fans are awfully important.
Pete Rose

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

Creating success is tough. But keeping it is tougher. You have to keep producing, you can't ever stop.
