The Hit King
That's Pete Rose, baseball's all-time hits leader. Christy and I saw him at a sports memorabilia show in Las Vegas this past weekend. It was one of the many momentous things to happen to us in Vegas!
Anyway, it's typical Pete Rose. I'm one of many people who can't stand Pete Rose, mostly for his refusal to admit betting on baseball (and when he did admit it, doing so in what was a pretty transparent attempt to make money). I also love the way he does what he does best nowadays, which is travel around the country and charge people $25 for his autograph. Here's a story on him stumping for his and Mark McGwire's induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Speaking of the Hall of Fame, as commenter John astutely pointed out, I left Cal Ripken off my list of choices for the HOF. Oops.
