Today baseball is different players making 10-20-30 million a year can even run out a ground ball.

Ohtani signed 700million

This guy’s ego has been his downfall, he’s such a hater. Ichiro is a beast, period.

HOF for Pete

Much respect to Pete for going out of his way to say that Bench is the greatest Catcher of all time... How Bench never misses an opportunity to bury Pete, it would be very easy for Pete to return the favor....

Petes memory of his stats is unbelievable.

Pete is thick as a brick.

The only thing Pete Rose could say is Jesus

Nolan Ryan, my slider never competed with your set of tools, but I disagree. The Hall Of Fame is for "fame", not gambling and infamous conduct. Johnny Bench had it right. That doesn't mean I don't think Pete didn't produce sufficient athletic ability. We need to be concerned about examples for our children, and the disqualifying Pete Rose from fame when he acted unworthily is a good lesson for everyone. Let's not be criminal or passively wicked, let's call it for what it is. An umpire has to call the balls and strikes and we people have to be able to call what is moral and what is not. Today, we live in a fallen government and gambling has been legalized almost everywhere -- what a disgrace! There is nothing productive about gambling, it takes from others when we should be learning how to give to others. As to baseball gambling, casino gambling, state lotteries, pool player gambling and all other types including those on the Internet, it would be appropriate for a nation to ban such evil vices. Gambling is related to covetousness, and the Bible says, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.” (Ex. 20:17, KJV) A gambler tends to be attracted in a more than generous way to the money of his contemporary environment. If it leads to disobeying God, it is evil. We are living in the apostasy and must remember the Ten Commandments and develop a decent community for our youth to grow up in. You can't live in sin and not confess it without losing respect. Johnny Bench made a moral point that Pete Rose did not deserve honor. You can miss a fast ball and get away with it sometimes, but you can't miss out on Jesus Christ and receive what God wants for you. Pete Rose thinks people should get over it. Should we? Well, we can certainly forgive Pete and pray for him. It will be up to him to make a decision for Jesus Christ if he really wants to find out what's missing in his life.

What’s funny is he will never be inducted into the HOF

The oldest record that will probably never be matched again is a pitcher winning 30 games.

Two baseball legends

1. Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers: 10 years, $700 million (2024-2033) Wow. When Ohtani reached free agency after the 2023 season, heading toward his second AL MVP Award in three years, it was a foregone conclusion that he would set a record for the largest contract in MLB history. Many estimates had him approaching or exceeding $500 million and perhaps even challenging $600 million. Even that turned out to be low. Ohtani's deal nearly doubles the previous record for total guaranteed dollars on a new contract, and perhaps that's appropriate given that his two-way status (although elbow surgery will keep him off the mound in 2024.)

They just did Pete.

Yes, he should be in the HOF. I've read the requirements for induction. So, if they're going to follow their own rules, then remove players like Cobb, Hornsby, and Ruth.

He will never get in. He screwed himself.

At about 5 minutes, Pete talks about contracts and says exactly that there will never be a shohei ohtani contract. Pete even said the exact number of a 700 million contract. Why isn't Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame? Why do we do this to people?

Pete rose! The most exciting player ever! Anyone who knows anything about baseball has him in their top 3 picks, if not, they don't know shit about the game.

Piss don’t give a fuck

There is no better representation of a true HALL OF FAMER than Pete!!!!

Sorry pete, they signed a 700 million contract

4:48 aged well lol

😂 wow 😳

Not only did Ryan play 27 years he dominated !! He said here I’m gonna throw it is hard as I can try and hit it. !! Today they count pitches God for bid a guy throws 100 pitches ! Nolan, Ryan, threw 235 in one game then three days later he threw seven shutout innings ! You’ll never see you guys like rose and Ryan ever again

Fast forward to December 9, 2023: A Japanese player named Shohei Ohtani signs an MLB contract worth 700 million dollars.

No Rob Manfred back then! He is destroying the game of baseball!

Pete should be in the HOF but not reinstated

Nolan Ryan was a true terrorist on the pitching mound. That cannot be disputed. Pete Rose was not only a phenomenal batter, he was part of the team that played in, and won, the greatest World Series ever. The 1975 World Series. 👨🏻‍🦳🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸😎🇺🇸

Petes memory and recollections are incredible! You can not deny the numbers. HOF!!

Rose sounds a little like Chris Farley

"Ichiro my ass!!!" 😁🤣

in his own words hes said "im in the reds hall of fame....thats good enough"

You can just tell how much Pete Rose love the game with every story he reminisce. Every little detail he remembers. How can you keep a guy like that out of the Hall of Fame? 😢

This didn't age well for pete

Put Pete in the Hall

I was eight years old. My little league manager told my dad that he liked my hustle, a lot. "He hustles like that Red's rookie, Pete Rose." Yep. Pretty close to 60 years ago. MANY times in my life I was complimented on my drive, my energy, my work ethic, and well, my hustle. I like to think I have an extra TWO gears, in how I take care of my business.

sorry pete mets astros 1986 nlcs is best series ever

No one loved watching Pete play ball more than me. I watched him since he replaced Don Blasingame at 2nd in '63 up til '85. Between the lines he was one of the best, plus I never saw him make a mental error. But off the field the man is a train wreck. Pete doesn't know to this day, if he told the truth up front he would be back in the game. He thinks the world is against him when, in fact, he can't get out of his own way.

Two of the very best of all time in one room at the same time, absolute workhorses! These men went to work like real men! Studs!!!!!

Pete is RIGHT. Ichiro's hits in Japan DO NOT COUNT

I love Pete Rose, and I say that as a Cardinal fan. He belongs in the Hall of Fame.

No pete does just ask him!

I don't know how I came across this but as a huge baseball fan since 1981, I love this. I got to see both of them play.

I could listen to these two talk all day. The attitude is totally different from todays players. Just realistic, down to earth, passionate about the game. If i was an owner i would want pete rose as my coach. Don’t care if he gambled, id bring him back.

Anyone know where this entire thing can be viewed on a single video?

Wow. You'd think he would be a little humble, but he still a dick. Pre-season and all star games, (especially then), were exhibition games, you played like a dick. Ichiro would ate your record up if he started younger here, you sound like a jealous moron bro, it's actually sad.

Omg, hilarious!

That's the only thing I don't like about Pete. Pre-season??!! Stop it, you made the team already, don't even get me started on his All-Star game bullshit. You were great, one of the greatest, don't play innocent. I'm surprised Nolans being so nice, he respects your game, not you. No one does.

Perez was clean up?!?!? Hes so lucky he was on that particular team. Perez and Concepcion were average at best!!!!!!!

Now i see why no one likes Pete, hes very unlikable. Dam Pete, your running out of time.
