No player or manager has greater respect for the umpires than I do, and I have demonstrated that over the years.
Quote by -Pete Rose
I played with 11 Hall of Famers and played against 52 Hall of Famers, and I don't know any of them linked to steroids.
Quote by -Pete Rose
If baseball wants to get you, they've got enough resources and enough investigators that they'll find a way to get you.
Quote by -Pete Rose
They haven't given too many gamblers a second chances in the world of baseball.
Quote by -Pete Rose
Back in 1960 at Christmas time, I did work loading and unloading boxcars for Railway Express. That was a kind of weight training that helped me. I weighed about 160 when I started. I began to gain weight and kept right on gaining until I reached 195 pounds.
Quote by -Pete Rose
A lot of these catchers don't understand that they are blocking the plate and they don't have the ball. You're not allowed to block the plate without the ball.
Quote by -Pete Rose
I don't think there's any honor bigger than going to your Hall of Fame for your sport.
Quote by -Pete Rose
Can you be a nicer gentleman, or a better man for your sport or your kids than Joe Paterno?
Quote by -Pete Rose
My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice, and then practice some more.
Quote by -Pete Rose
When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.
Quote by -Pete Rose
Umpires got power, man. You ever notice if you go to a ballpark and there's a close play on first base, they will not run the replay at the ballpark? I've seen umpires go underneath and call up and say if you run one more of those replays, we're gonna forfeit the game. That's how strong their union is.
Quote by -Pete Rose
When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than Cobb.
Quote by -Pete Rose
I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team; I believe in my team. I did everything in my power every night to win that game.
Quote by -Pete Rose
The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.
Quote by -Pete Rose
I never picked up my phone and called a bookmaker and bet on a baseball game from the clubhouse. Never.
Quote by -Pete Rose
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.
Quote by -Pete Rose
Of course, I believe that Mike Piazza is probably the greatest offensive catcher in the history of baseball, only got over 50%. Johnny Bench is the best catcher in the history of baseball, but Piazza has all the record for catchers as far as offensively.
Quote by -Pete Rose
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.
Quote by -Pete Rose
Baseball and the players association have rules. If you stay within the rules - which say that you can play while you're appealing - I don't see what anyone would be in arms about.
Quote by -Pete Rose
I like Barack Obama as a person. He's articulate, he knows sports, his brother-in-law's a coach. He always has the athletes to the White House. But I don't know about some of his policies and some of these people in Congress.
Quote by -Pete Rose
I am grateful that I live in a nation where most believe that one's punishment should fit their wrongdoing and that ours is a nation that judges an individual by both what he has done and how he has changed.
Quote by -Pete Rose
I still gamble, but it's all legal. I own horses, and I go to watch my horse. I don't go daily.
Quote by -Pete Rose
A team will take on its manager's personality. If it's a laid back manager, you'll have a laid back personality. The players will see that if it's OK for the Manager to be laid back, then you'll have a laid back team.
Quote by -Pete Rose
No one ever asked what was my relationship with Bart Giamatti. We used to talk about baseball a lot as a player and a commissioner, just talk about the game, what could we do to help the game, where's the game going, he was pretty good.
Quote by -Pete Rose
I would think if someone connected to steroids made the Hall of Fame, that would enhance my chances of making the Hall of Fame.
