He was there. Thankfully he got a chance to return home rather than being found in a hotel room or similar.

Agreed. He was scheduled to be at the Chantilly show next month. He definitely was not slowing down.

Well, the lifetime ban is now over. So, put'em in the HOF.

Got no restrictions to fall back on.

JMHO

I couldn't believe this would be true. But sure enough, not a mention or a banner for breaking news or anything. Shameful.

I got notifications on my phone from ESPN, WSJ, and NYT. It's the headline story on ESPN right now.

Nobody played the game harder than Rose. Other played as hard but that's an elite group that put it out there all the time.

Maybe they'll open what Pete probably considered his "pearly gates" and finally enshrine the hit master. No reason to keep him out now.

I can remember getting autographs from him in the 70s. He was a good signer. It was always fun to see the Big Red Machine in town, except having to watch your team lose.

RIP Pete
