Pete, Pete, Pete...I can think of very few Hall of Famers who were less indebted to their teammates to make the Hall than Johnny Benchhttps://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2019/06/07/pete-rose-johnny-bench-wouldnt-cooperstown-without-me/1381360001/ …

Pete Rose was *fun* to watch, as a player, as a manager, even as a cranky old guy in the studio sparring with A-Rod. Fun is good for the game. And yet, Pete's rap sheet by now as a man is appalling.

The same things that make him such a garbage human are why he was a great player. He's an insane competitor who does everything at full speed. Unfortunately, in the real world these traits can lead to bad humans.

icwydt an quietly remarkable stat about Rose is that he made the All Star team for five (5) different positions - LF, RF, 1B, 2B, 3B. But you're right about Bench.

Rose also played about 8 seasons too many. Just to brake a record. He was incredibly selfish and an incredible narcissist. And a singles hitter
