Pete Rose Interview
Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2024 11:23 pm
I have been sick, and isolating, so I have had some extra time on my hands.
I took some time to watch a recent Pete Rose interview, on VladTV.
Rose has always been one of THE best interviews, and this one is about 2 hours long.
Pete's age is showing, and he is not looking particularly great.
But I wanted to comment on one particular moment in this segment, where he gives a mind-boggling answer.
It is from 3:12 to 3:32.
Watch this part.
If you've watched his interviews in the past, or have watched this one, you recognize that Pete Rose remembers EVERY detail of his career, and he knows EVERY stat of his.
His mind is a mental encyclopedia of his career.
Photographic memory of every detail, every moment, every stat.
He knows how many walks he had in 1965, how many strike outs he had against every pitcher, how many doubles he had in 1977, how many times he scratched his @ss when he walked to the plate before he delivered the hit that extended his hitting streak to 44 games... and on and on and on...
He forgot NOTHING.
Then he is asked here in this clip, "You ended up getting divorced in 1980, and was it over a baby that you had outside the marriage?"
Pete: I don't remember that. I don't remember that. I don't think it was, but it may have been.
ummm...
Pete?
What?
Don't remember?
How do you not remember that you got divorced because you fathered a baby with another woman?
LOL
At any rate, Pete is always fascinating.
Here is the whole interview...
