I have been sick, and isolating, so I have had some extra time on my hands.
I took some time to watch a recent Pete Rose interview, on VladTV.
Rose has always been one of THE best interviews, and this one is about 2 hours long.
Pete's age is showing, and he is not looking particularly great.
But I wanted to comment on one particular moment in this segment, where he gives a mind-boggling answer.
It is from 3:12 to 3:32.
Watch this part.
If you've watched his interviews in the past, or have watched this one, you recognize that Pete Rose remembers EVERY detail of his career, and he knows EVERY stat of his.
His mind is a mental encyclopedia of his career.
Photographic memory of every detail, every moment, every stat.
He knows how many walks he had in 1965, how many strike outs he had against every pitcher, how many doubles he had in 1977, how many times he scratched his @ss when he walked to the plate before he delivered the hit that extended his hitting streak to 44 games... and on and on and on...
He forgot NOTHING.
Then he is asked here in this clip, "You ended up getting divorced in 1980, and was it over a baby that you had outside the marriage?"
Pete: I don't remember that. I don't remember that. I don't think it was, but it may have been.
ummm...
Pete?
What?
Don't remember?
How do you not remember that you got divorced because you fathered a baby with another woman?
LOL
At any rate, Pete is always fascinating.
Here is the whole interview...

Re: Pete Rose Interview
I grew up in southern Ohio in the 70’s. The Big Red Machine was the single most important thing in daily life in the spring, summer and fall (And Archie Griffin won two Heisman trophies then). But Pete was a giant cock. There was a promotion in my town where Reds players came to sign autographs. The whole fucking city and people from the sticks showed up. That SOB looked at his watch, got up and fucked a crowd of thousands. The other Reds stuck around and took care of everyone. Total douche.

Re: Pete Rose Interview
Wonder if he remembers that.
When I die, I want my ashes pressed into a record album. That is my vinyl request.

He probably doesn't actually remember it, he's a narcissist. Prone to damaging himself, but not destructive.

My sense from watching it, and from watching him in many interviews, is that he really doesn't remember what the deal was with the divorce he was asked about.
Just blocked it out of his mind soon after it happened, and rolled on with his life.
It was not an important thing to him, so it was basically discarded from his mind a long time ago.
His mind and soul was instead obsessed with baseball, stats, fame, gambling, whore-mongering, and whatsuch.

Re: Pete Rose Interview
Sounds like the exact opposite of what I saw from Cal Ripken Jr. back in his AAA days in Rochester. About 6 people showed at an autograph signing in my hometown. He stayed the full 4 hours signing and fielding questions from the few snot nosed kids that stuck around. Good dude. He was AL Rookie of the Year the next year and a WS champion the following year. Always rooted for Cal even during the Angelos years.88BuckeyeGrad wrote:I grew up in southern Ohio in the 70’s.
