Our hearts are deeply saddened by the news of Pete’s passing,
His cause of death was determined as Hypertensive and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease with a significant condition of Diabetes Mellitus,
There’s nothing I can change about the history of Pete Rose,
It’s been a long time, and there’s been a lot of negative things happen in the world of baseball,
Well, back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, I wish I’d have had an interpreter. I’d be scot-free,
I keep convincing myself or telling myself, ‘Hang in there, Pete, you’ll get a second chance,’
I think he was devoted to baseball in the sense of the game, and his effort was certainly intense,
Do I think he belongs in the Hall of Fame? I don’t think anybody who participates in corruption of the game as he did belongs in the Hall of Fame,
I feel sorry for Pete Rose, but he committed the cardinal sin of baseball. He gambled,
Peter’ ... No, baseball’s the legend."
Dogged, determined, relentless, competitor, vicious competitor with what he did to Ray Fosse during the All-Star Game in a game that maybe mattered back then,
No, I don’t find that strange,
My heart is sad. I loved you Peter Edward. You made all of us better. No matter the life we led. No one can replace you."
He was all smiles, took photos with the fans and signed many autographs,
I will remember him as one of the greatest baseball players ever and one of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure of meeting,
Words can’t describe how I feel right now my Idol and friend growing up wanting to be Pete Rose,
The Reds are heartbroken to learn of the passing of baseball legend Pete Rose."
No one ever worked harder or hustled more than Pete Rose. No one ever got more out of his natural talent than Pete Rose. It was a true joy to watch him play baseball."
There has never been another player like Pete Rose in my lifetime. This is the way I will remember him, playing the game harder than anyone else ever did,
My biggest takeaway was this was a man who spent his entire life truly loving a game, even when he screwed it up, even when it didn't love him back."
