Pete Rose
Some players you pat their butts, some players you kick their butts, some players you leave alone.
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.
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
Practice the game the way you're going to play the game. Practice hard and play hard. Run hard and above all else, hustle every moment you're on the field where you are practicing or playing in a game.
Pete Rose
I never gave up as a player, and I won't give up as someone who wants to go to the Hall of Fame, because it's the ultimate goal for a baseball player or a football player or a basketball player.
