River Rat - Cracked...

"I don’t believe in superstitions. I just do the same thing every day." - Pete Rose

Pete Rose was more than just a baseball player; he was a force of nature on the field, a relentless competitor who played every inning like it was his last. His passion, grit, and dedication were unmatched, making him one of the greatest to ever play the game. While his legacy is complicated, there's no denying the impact he had on baseball and the generations of fans he inspired, me included. Now that he's passed on, it's time we honor both the player and the man, recognizing that redemption and greatness can coexist. As I continue my River Rat series on Pete, I will keep it balanced, acknowledging both his brilliance on the field and the complexities of his life off it.
