He was an arse...he was cocky...he bet on baseball(to win)...he was arrogant...but.......I've been listening(early years 1960s) and watching baseball(60s to 2024 ) and I have NEVER seen anyone play the game with the enthusiasm and hustle like he did! It's time to induct him!!!!!

There’s a video on YouTube of Pete showing Frank Thomas and ARod what to do in a hitting slump. Absolutely fascinating.

Foster still looks ready throw down. He looked carved out of stone back in the day. Love you Pete!

I would hope my next to last day could be such a gathering of surviving good friends with everyone happy and celebratory.

He was among the greatest of all time. I used him as THE example to follow for the Little League Baseball teams I coached during that era.

R.I.P. Mr. Hustle.

5 of the great 8 (and Joe has already passed), so only missing Bench and Geronimo of the living members. "And then there were six." RIP

HOLY CRAP MY YOUTH! MY YOUTH! How can those guys be that old. What happened? This is depressing as shite. I still see Ken Griffey Jr as perpetually in his mid 30s.

I am a little disappointed of the "seeming" acrimony between Bench and Rose. They were my two of my three favorite players growing up (California Angels Nolan Ryan being the other). I wish they would’ve patched things up and recognized what they did for each other.
