Good golly, this channel has been hoppin' the past couple days. It really puts into perspective just how many people Dave interviewed over the years. I hope the Letterman self interview isn't posted for many more though. Long may he run.
One thing that made it special was how the entire sports world was watching it unfold day by day. That's the first thing you'd check in the morning. Did Pete get another hit last night. That and the Wheaties box.
I will never forgive MLB's commissioner's office for what they did to Rose and what he and his family had to endure over the years. Rest easy, Charlie Hustle. We'll see you again on the Field of Dreams.
The Commisioner didn't do it to Pete. PETE DID IT TO PETE! He broke the cardinal rule that has been in every clubhouse for decades. Break it, your gone - FOR EVER. Maybe he can hook up with OJ down there
He had a child out of wedlock on Karolyn and cheated on her with a 14 year old and she divorced him. Just like gambling he denied and lied about that child for years. He cheated on Carol and she divorced him. His poor family had to endure.
I'm so impressed with Pete Rose that he's comfortable joking about his gambling. Dog gone it, let him in the baseball Hall of Fame and just put an asterisk next to his name. RiP, Pete 🎉
Not getting into the hall was the best thing that ever happened to him. He hated it but it made him that much more valuable as the best player not in the hall of fame.
@@kardave2848 No, I avoided wrestling ad do to this day. Who needs it now anyway? ALL Pro and college sports are decided by gamblers now. There are even betting lines on the LITTLE LEAGUE World series. How ironic.
For those of you too young to have seen Pete Rose play baseball, he was a bundle of energy who never took a second off. No one will ever convince me he was bad for the game.
10:34 in spite of all the things he’s done he truly was the best ambassador of the game. Because no matter what he did to get banished, he still love the game and he still talked it up. No matter how bad baseball was treating him.
Rose exemplified the very essence of baseball through competitive excellence. Despite his flaws, I believe his father would have been proud of him for his drive on the field. I know Cincinnati is proud of him. Love or hate him, he was an engaging character, one heck of a good interview and a fan favorite if he was on your team. There will never be another like him. RIP Pete Rose.
Pete was the last player/manager in MLB history, so far and there's a good reason for that. Very knew and played the game as well as he. He was as much an academic as he was a player of the game.
I never seen an interview with Pete, I recall him playing when I was a kid.... He is a cool guy, especially when he said "that is a stupid question"..... And he did it cool......
It was a lifetime band. That beautiful life lived fully has now ended. It’s time to add Charlie Hustle to MLB’s H.O.F. Thank you and may you rest in peace Mr. Rose 🙏
Perhaps I can help your palate. Most radio, TV and now internet shows have stock pieces pre written on subjects that are predictably closing in on the end of their lives. These "obits" are generally written in the past tense and then set aside. When that individual dies, all that is needed is the filed segment. Maybe doctor a fact or two. It's a standard practice. A man like Pete Rose, whose life was rich in stories was an easy tale awaiting airing. He was a character.
To whom it may concern... Pete Rose, proved his baseball talent. His passion for the sport showed. Mr. Pete Rose was a serious baseball player from back in his childhood. Obviously he made poor choices. Who among you/us, haven't. (Rhetorical question) Anyone out there will find negative nonsense. Get Over it. Look to the positive. Pete Rose ..... Great baseball player, period.
In the Heaven playing with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Walter Johnson, Matty Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Cy Young,Ted Williams, Stan l Musial, Bob Feller, Vitico Davalillo, Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Joe Morgan y Satchel Paige.
You cut out the best part of the hair discussion; Pete says "A man of your status, you could afford to buy a new head!" and Letterman replies "I think we could all use a little head".
but he knew baseball...and knew how to bet on it. If the league never investigated him, he'd have been in so much debt in a short time, that the game fixing would have been incredible.
We live in a world that wants nothing more than to place a scarlett letter on the heads of others to cover our own feelings of inadequacy In the face of major injustice its a class act that only sees all that has been given
Spanish people are from Spain 🇪🇸 & their descendants from the Americas but not all Spanish speaking people are “Spanish” like saying Americans are “English” lol
I can tell by the teams he's describing in the playoffs that this is 2006. I was able to tell that even before he mentioned how the Cardinals just barely made it into the playoffs
Yes he bet on baseball, but that betting never negated the fact he had the most hits ever in the major leagues. Lifetime ban gone, guess he can finally be inducted even though it's meaningless now.
The difference is that mostly those Bet themselves to lose to reap the rewards. This Man Bet himself to Win and was always a Winner, that’s why he gets a pass from me.
Charley Hustle belongs in the Hall of Fame. He was the #1 draw in his day. He didn't have a lot of talent. He pushed himself into one of the greatest players of all time.
going so hard after the last buck at shows he must have still been gambling pretty hard. who watches three baseball games a day with no money on the line? r.i.p
@@mr.sa7anserv606 Maybe, or maybe not, but if that's the case, then every politician who commits or gets involved in an unlawful act, then it's possible we would have hundreds, I mean hundreds of them in prison.........
@garygerard4290 living in your moms basement and going online to try and deflect your anger about your lot in life, by stirring the pot somehow is not really helping your situation. Try and be a better person Gary.
He wronged the MLB. He placed the bets. MLB didn't give him access to bookies. MLB tried to make a deal with him before even bothering with an investigation. Pete wronged himself. He wronged baseball. He wronged the HOF. He wronged all the fans permanently (just like his ban).
Pete Rose will kick your ass Dave. RIP He'll get in the Hall. He's in the big one already. Remember, it was a lifetime ban. All Bets (no pun intended) on. (btw. He was a living legend right here. Nobody likely to beat his hit record in modern baseball, and no one was a bigger student of the game.)
Remember? Your memory isn't that good. It was not a lifetime ban. Go read the rule. I'll help you. The ban was permanent.There is nothing in the rule that says anything about life.
He failed as a student of the game, so there's no way he's the biggest student of the game. He broke the cardinal rule of baseball, and he thought he could deny that he broke it, and thought he could erase the rule after he finally admitted to some of what he did. Big fat F.
@@roland7584 he was at the end of his career when he gambled on games, and it's not evident he ever threw a game for a bet. I don't think it was in him to lose anything. One of the best ball players who ever lived.
It isn't as simple as betting on his own team winning. He could have been betting on winning by more than 2.5 runs. Maybe he's making decisions to reach 3+ runs that jeopardize the team from simply being up 1 run and winning the game. Maybe for the games he is betting on, he stacks the roster more than usual - maybe he brings in another starter to finish that game so it secures his wager... but then that pitcher has to pitch on short rest in a game Rose didn't bet on. People that can affect the outcome of the game have no business being able to bet on that same game. That includes Pete Rose. And I know it is hard to separate all of the gambling ads that show up in MLB these days - but they are a business. And they aren't encouraging the players/managers/owners to gamble. That is helping to pay all of their salaries instead.
It is even simpler. The rule says do not bet on any game you are involved in or you are permanently ineligible and banned. Legal/illegal do not bet on baseball. He lied and denied but he is guilty.
Since 1920 every clubhouse in baseball has a sign reading: "Gambling on baseball is forbidden." He gambled on baseball as a manager and probably as a player. He got caught and then he lied about it. Now he admits it and watching this, apparently has no remorse about it. Arrogant about it, in fact. Lifetime ban, absolutely. There's an excellent reason: gambling corrupts the game. Go look up Black Sox Eddie Cicotte and Chick Gandel. They're banned too.
Nice comparison -- They threw the World Series. Yes, Rose is to blame for what happened, but spare me the Kennesaw Mountain Landis statue, unless you want to champion his keeping blacks out of MLB, too.
Same here ! I thought he was over Zealous when he played ! And me being from the NY area When he fought little skinny NY Mets Buddy Harrelson ! I thought he was also a Bully ! But then As I watched him Play He played With So much intensity ! And it wasn’t Personal ! He was known as Charlie Hustle And he did ! Pete became the most exciting ! Best hitter and Player I ever saw !! He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame ! Todays Fans Need To see how Real men Played Baseball !
Letterman's asinine question to Pete Rose on whether he would have considered taking steroids if someone came to him and said if we are careful with this and managed it thoughtfully, it can help prolong your career and help you recover from injuries and might improve your performance with NO health risks involved. What a senseless question since there is nothing on the planet that can do all of that. Letterman just wanted a stupid headline at Pete Ross's expense that would have misleadingly stated Pete Ross admitted on his show that looking back on his career he may have chosen to take steroids.
God bless Mr. Rose's memory -- MLB looked very small in the end, and Cooperstown looks just as small, if not smaller! 🌹🌹RIP PETE ROSE (1941-2024). 🌹🌹 ✝✝✝✝✝
MLB didn't bet on the games. Pete did. All he had to do was not do that. In fact, all he had to do was stop. In fact, all he had to do was accept the deal before the investigation started. In fact, all he had to do was not lie about it for years. In fact, all he had to do was give a sincere apology. In fact, all he had to do was change his ways. In fact, it's Pete's own fault that he's not in. No one elses. Never forget that.
@@roland7584 Yes, Rose bet - Own worst enemy. Got that, and so did he. 2nd part, overplayed No-brainer, to include the lying, the help, Etc. The sincere apology? If you mean, hang himself in the middle of Fountain Square or Times Square, No. Rose apologized countless times, but if that means go away, become a Monk, and live in abject poverty, No. A crying jar scene -- Rose actually did show a lot of emotion one night in front of an audience who came to see him. Change his ways? Rose stopped doing much public gambling for a few years, stayed away for Cooperstown 2-3 years at least, trying to give MLB a chance, and offered to do other things. God forbid he sold a book because he has no other income except his name for autographs and his story. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. So, after 2-3 years of Selig, Et. Al., ignoring Rose yet again, Etc., Rose returned to Cooperstown and more, convinced he wasn't going to be heard, get another shot. Yes, Betting on MLB is Rose's own fault. NEVER Forget that??? IS THAT A JOKE??? SINCE WHEN IS A ROSE/ REDS FAN ALLOWED TO DO SO??? Bow Down to MLB Almighty and open Y'all's hymn books to "Glory From Kenesaw Mountain Landis to Bart Giamatti," and please ignore the decades of racism and hypocrisy..., We Thank You. Oh yes... Let's overlook that little rule made in Feb 1991 -- Just in time - to keep the press from ever having a say on whether or not Rose deserved on being voted in as a Member of Baseball's HOF. Just timing, the HOF Board member's Ed Stack said, at the time, but the Media dubbed the Rule, the Pete Rose Rule, keeping all Permanently Ineligible Ballplayers out of consideration by Baseball Writers for the HOF. Just timing that Rose would be considered that December. Just a little... LIE by the Board, but it's a lie for the Greater Good. It's all PETE ROSE'S Fault -- No. One. Else's. Yessir, Boss! I will NEVER Forget That. I'll also Never Forget good old Ken Burns, who was good at smearing Ty Cobb with Al Stump's LIES, Uh, I mean, Biographies after his death. Gotta like Ken Burns' sense of justice - He's a good as forgiveness as MLB & the ever-honest Baseball Hall of Fame. Said this back in 2010: Pete Rose should be inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame, said filmmaker Ken Burns Wednesday afternoon at the semiannual TV press tour in Beverly Hills. But the documentarian had a single caveat. ‘He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame,’ said Burns of the former player and coach (Manager) with the Cincinnati Reds whose gambling scandal has prevented his enshrinement at Cooperstown. ‘But he doesn’t deserve to know he’s in the Hall of Fame.’ * Speaking for myself, I know a lot of Rose fans who would like to see that happen, though it would be very awkward. My understanding is also that the Rose Family is pretty much of the opinion that the HOF can stick their plaque where the sun doesn't shine.
Outstanding Great Come Back …In My Business There’s 3,500 Employees Yet We Have The Dirty 30 Who Are The Worst and There Is No Actual List Yet This List Does Exist Within My Business These Are Guys No Body Wants
@@thenostalgicpodblast Me too. I think he should have made it while he was still alive. He made a mistake, a giant mistake, but are we incapable of forgiveness? If we are to have our sins forgiven we must forgive the sins of others and that holds for religious people and non-religious people equally.
Very coincidental that Donald trumps name came up at the start of the show. The day after rose died, trump asked that he enter the hall of fame before his funeral.

But then As I watched him Play He played With So much intensity ! And it wasn’t Personal !
He was known as Charlie Hustle And he did ! Pete became the most exciting ! Best hitter and Player I ever saw !! He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame ! Todays Fans Need To see how Real men Played Baseball !
@@stevesanzari7294 The Phils 1980 world series win went a long way to making me and the city love him.
5:17 you did brother. RIP
Letterman's asinine question to Pete Rose on whether he would have considered taking steroids if someone came to him and said if we are careful with this and managed it thoughtfully, it can help prolong your career and help you recover from injuries and might improve your performance with NO health risks involved. What a senseless question since there is nothing on the planet that can do all of that. Letterman just wanted a stupid headline at Pete Ross's expense that would have misleadingly stated Pete Ross admitted on his show that looking back on his career he may have chosen to take steroids.
Pete's illegal gambling buddy who provided the bet slips to investigators was a steroid dealer.
God bless Mr. Rose's memory -- MLB looked very small in the end, and Cooperstown looks just as small, if not smaller!
🌹🌹RIP PETE ROSE (1941-2024). 🌹🌹 ✝✝✝✝✝
MLB didn't bet on the games. Pete did. All he had to do was not do that. In fact, all he had to do was stop. In fact, all he had to do was accept the deal before the investigation started. In fact, all he had to do was not lie about it for years. In fact, all he had to do was give a sincere apology. In fact, all he had to do was change his ways. In fact, it's Pete's own fault that he's not in. No one elses. Never forget that.
@@roland7584 Yes, Rose bet - Own worst enemy. Got that, and so did he. 2nd part, overplayed No-brainer, to include the lying, the help, Etc.
The sincere apology? If you mean, hang himself in the middle of Fountain Square or Times Square, No. Rose apologized countless times, but if that means go away, become a Monk, and live in abject poverty, No. A crying jar scene -- Rose actually did show a lot of emotion one night in front of an audience who came to see him.
Change his ways? Rose stopped doing much public gambling for a few years, stayed away for Cooperstown 2-3 years at least, trying to give MLB a chance, and offered to do other things. God forbid he sold a book because he has no other income except his name for autographs and his story. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
So, after 2-3 years of Selig, Et. Al., ignoring Rose yet again, Etc., Rose returned to Cooperstown and more, convinced he wasn't going to be heard, get another shot.
Yes, Betting on MLB is Rose's own fault. NEVER Forget that??? IS THAT A JOKE??? SINCE WHEN IS A ROSE/ REDS FAN ALLOWED TO DO SO???
Bow Down to MLB Almighty and open Y'all's hymn books to "Glory From Kenesaw Mountain Landis to Bart Giamatti," and please ignore the decades of racism and hypocrisy..., We Thank You.
Oh yes... Let's overlook that little rule made in Feb 1991 -- Just in time - to keep the press from ever having a say on whether or not Rose deserved on being voted in as a Member of Baseball's HOF.
Just timing, the HOF Board member's Ed Stack said, at the time, but the Media dubbed the Rule, the Pete Rose Rule, keeping all Permanently Ineligible Ballplayers out of consideration by Baseball Writers for the HOF. Just timing that Rose would be considered that December. Just a little... LIE by the Board, but it's a lie for the Greater Good.
It's all PETE ROSE'S Fault -- No. One. Else's. Yessir, Boss! I will NEVER Forget That.
I'll also Never Forget good old Ken Burns, who was good at smearing Ty Cobb with Al Stump's LIES, Uh, I mean, Biographies after his death. Gotta like Ken Burns' sense of justice - He's a good as forgiveness as MLB & the ever-honest Baseball Hall of Fame. Said this back in 2010:
Pete Rose should be inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame, said filmmaker Ken Burns Wednesday afternoon at the semiannual TV press tour in Beverly Hills. But the documentarian had a single caveat.
‘He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame,’ said Burns of the former player and coach (Manager) with the Cincinnati Reds whose gambling scandal has prevented his enshrinement at Cooperstown. ‘But he doesn’t deserve to know he’s in the Hall of Fame.’
* Speaking for myself, I know a lot of Rose fans who would like to see that happen, though it would be very awkward. My understanding is also that the Rose Family is pretty much of the opinion that the HOF can stick their plaque where the sun doesn't shine.
May the Hall Of Fame go to 🔥
“St. Louis going in playing as bad as you can play”
aaaaand they won the World Series
Put him in the HOF. The lifetime ban has expired.
RIP Pete

When Letterman dies, how fast will this channel have a clip up & WHICH ONE?!!
Legends never die.
@@evenflowsteven They're just eternally blacklisted from the MLB hall of fame.
@@OTOss8 No, way! Hoping NOW Pete makes it to Cooperstown
@@evenflowsteven True! Big fan of the Letterman
@@thenostalgicpodblast Me too. I think he should have made it while he was still alive. He made a mistake, a giant mistake, but are we incapable of forgiveness? If we are to have our sins forgiven we must forgive the sins of others and that holds for religious people and non-religious people equally.
Pete, you’ve always been in my hall of fame, RIP.
Greenies were just diet pills lmao😅... cocaine light
Very coincidental that Donald trumps name came up at the start of the show. The day after rose died, trump asked that he enter the hall of fame before his funeral.
RIP Pete Rose
