Pete Rose

I bet on the game of baseball and I bet on my team, even the mistakes I made, I have to take a different look at someone betting against their own team... that's throwing the game.

With the money I'm making, I should be playing two positions.

Obama's a great speaker. Because of his speaking ability and his appearance, a lot of guys got on board. Being the first African American, a lot guys got on board.

When people think of me, they think about me knocking catchers down and knocking second basemen down and yelling at pitchers. But when I took the spikes off after the game, I was a nice guy when I went home.

I get accused of talking about records. But it's the guys who interview me who ask about them.

Are you tall? Are you strong? How big are your hands? You must be honest with yourself or you will end up using the wrong bat.

I'm built like my dad. Stocky, strong.

There is no doubt that because I am a switch hitter I have one of the best offensive advantages that a hitter can have.

I look at the records, and you don't win the Cy Young seven times or the MVP without being a good player.

I would think if someone connected to steroids made the Hall of Fame, that would enhance my chances of making the Hall of Fame.

I always liked the defensive part of baseball.

I don't think there's any honor bigger than going to your Hall of Fame for your sport.
