Finally dying some two decades after suffering a major brain hemorrhage during a wrestling event, the all-time Major League Baseball hit leader Peter Rose is dead. The baseball legend was a scrappy little ball player who never hit more than 10 home runs in a season and played from 1965 to the late 80's. Mr Rose is most famous though for being banned from baseball for betting on his team and gambling and this is prevented the Major League Baseball all-time hit leader from being enshrined into
the hall of fame. Pete rose is also known for crippling a catcher by burling into him as he made Thurman Munster into a paraplegic as Pete Rose took a exhibition all-star game serious and collided with Mr Munson injuring him and putting him into a wheel chair for the rest of his life. Pete Rose died the other day of complications from a head injury that he suffered during a road Wrestling Federation events
where he was supposed to be a ring announcer and the psychotic wrestler known as The Big Red Machine attacked him turned him over and pile drived his head onto the mat in a move called the tombstone. This move put many wrestlers to sleep and in the state of being dead for a while and indeed Peter Rose was
hospitalized after this and many say he was never the same after this brutal attack from this nearly 7 ft giant monster at one of these WrestleMania events back in the day. Mr Rose barely survived and what people don't know is that he almost died after this incident with this crazed wrestler Red Machine and the memorable shock that a special guest ring announcer would be attacked before a match deserving of lawsuit. It is not known what settlement how much money Pete Rose got from
Vincent K Mcmahon WWE but it must have been a lot. My brush with Pete Rose is that I was at the actual game at Wrigley Field where he tied the record for most hits and he had several opportunities to break it back in 1985. The disappointment of not being able to see this record broken despite the best attempts of Mr Rose remains a vivid
professional sporting event tragedy of my own. Fucking Pete Rose was playing back in 1963 and the longevity of this guy playing at top level was incredible. The tragedy and controversy appeals will likely be remembered in sports 100 years from now and he is still a very controversial and historical sporting figure. Pete Rose is dead at the age of 94.
