No matter what you think of Pete Rose, he had more hits than anyone. Here’s Pete taking AROD and Big Hurt to church on how to get out of a lull (Never admit a slump!). These 34 seconds of Pete Rose gold will change your hitting life forever. @shegone03 @LarryBowa10 @WesClements22

Congrats to the new inductees. The HOF is barely a museum when it omits Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Gary Sheffield, Roger Clemens, and so many others. The exclusion of the Andrew Jones’ and Dale Murphys while enshrining guys like Phil Rizzutto is a true embarrassment.

I’m so proud of Marcell Ozuna. In spring, he said he felt he had let the fans and the club down and he was going to put in the work to redeem himself. He did it - a 40 HR season. “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” ― Gandhi

@WynnWs @RexChapman @PopCrave I think the Titanic is so ingrained in our history and culture that the mere name attracts interest. The immigrant story is equally important, but we hear “Titanic disaster” and take notice. It’s taught into us. I’m sorry for all lives lost, but Titanic is a bigger story.

 I’m going to stand up here for Don Mattingly. Many forget that his production dropped off because he had a really bad back. So bad, in fact, that most would have retired sooner. But let me tell you - Donnie Baseball was great, and this from a non-Yankee fan.
