When Donald Trump is a fan of yours, you know you played the game hard.
Anybody who knows anything about Pete Rose would say that description fits him pretty well.
“I’d walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball,” Pete Rose once said.
That type of attitude is similar to the way Donald Trump fights for what’s right in politics and is probably why Donald Trump is such a big fan of Pete Rose, who passed away on September 30, 2024.
Pete Rose played Major League Baseball for 24 seasons, from 1963-1986, and had more hits, 4,256, than any other player (by a wide margin). He gambled, but only on his own team winning, and paid a decades long price. GET PETE ROSE INTO THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME. It’s Time!

Pete Rose’s first year in Major League Baseball was in 1963 with the Cincinnati Reds, and he played with them until 1978.
Had he retired at that moment (and not bet on baseball), Pete Rose already had the credentials of a hall-of-famer.
Rose wasn’t done there, however. He would play nearly a decade more in Major League Baseball.
Pete Rose played with the Philadelphia Phillies from 1979 to 1983. He started 1984 with the Montreal Expos before rejoining the Cincinnati Reds. Pete Rose retired after the 1986 baseball season as the all-time leader in hits with 4,256.
Had it not been for his controversies, Pete Rose would have been in the Hall of Fame long ago. Rest in peace, Charlie Hustle.
