[quote=Anonymous]I have a soft spot for Pete Rose. I grew up in Ohio and we used to get to softball practice early to practice sliding like him. I met him at a corporate function a decade ago or so and found him to be kind and humbled. People used to talk about him being charismatic or arrogant or somewhere in between, but I noticed his warmth and his really strong ability to connect with others. Everyone is flawed but he had the bad luck to have his flaws exposed in a time when it was far easier for celebrities and athletes to hide their mistakes and crimes. I think he would have received more flak but eventually more grace in the era of social media.[/quote]
