Summary

There are legends in baseball, but there are also cautionary tales. Cincinnati Reds icon Pete Rose, who hit more pitches than anyone else in the history of the game, is a lot of both. His ego was enormous, his personal life a dumpster fire, and even his teammates didn't particularly care for him. Hard to believe a guy like that could go bad!

0:46.6	since we started this show, but never quite wanted to get this dirty. And then the guy died,
0:51.9	so here we are. Hazzah! It's baseball legend Pete Rose. Hero of the game. Solior of the game. Probably a tragic
0:59.4	figure. Okay, scratch out hero where I said earlier, definitely not a hero.
