      Yes it was, baseball was everything when an average Joe could take his family ( of five) to a game or two... the players (almost all) would sign autographs and give the kids waiting after the game sometime... actually ask you what position you played.... something changed in the purest of games that should not have... it was a great time then...

      Watching the talent on these teams, and a few others inspired me at an early age. There was si much talent, and character in the players of that era. Without the custom workout routines, personal trainers, and performance enhancing drugs that still looked like absolute pro's pros. Every kid wanted to be George Brett, or Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Ricky Henderson etc.
      It was a lot of fun try g to mimic batters stances and swi gs, and a lot of the pit hers had unique wind ups that worked for them. Dan Quisenberry comes to mind. Good times.

    That 1985 Reds team will always have a special place in my heart. My beloved Reds had fallen on hard times, 1982-84 were terrible seasons. In Sept ‘84, Marge Schott brought Pete back to be player manager and, just like that, the Reds started winning again… in 1985, they surprised everyone by finishing a respectable second place in the NL West… I believe they won 87 games…
    Dave Parker should have been the NL MVP in 1985. He was a force at the plate… deserves to be on HOF… He had his most productive years offensively in Cincinnati… Has to be one of the best deals Bob Howsam ever put together….

Because the only possible prerequisite needed to consistently hit 87 mph fastballs at the batting cages is nothing more than a matter of repetitions for the average person who played little league games growing up. I didn't pick up a baseball bat from age 13 until about age 32 ish 👍it only took me about two weeks to start crushing 85-90 mph fastballs & in less than a month later I was crushing those same pitches, but, from three feet in front of the plate!!!

I lived in an area with other kids so we’d play a little baseball, though it was hard to not hit a house. Some guy probably stole a bunch of Waveboards and sold them for 20$ to the people in my complex so everyone got one and we’d compete either in races or trying to knock each other off. When holidays came around we’d go over to the nearby shopping district and see how many of those cheep tree light bulbs you could pop before your fingers hurt either by burning or plastic splinter (not the smartest idea in retrospect) childhoods can change but in the right area you can still be free range

      I saw Rose during that hitting streak. The day after he broke Tommy Holmes 37 game hitting streak in NY against the Mets. It was a weekday afternoon “getaway” day game. Rose doubled up the gap in his first at bat and the place went wild cheering for him. This five years after Rose and Bud Harrelson of the Mets had their famous altercation in Game 3 of the NLCS where Rose was booed wildly. Earlier in the 1978 season on a Saturday afternoon game against the Mets Rose hit three home runs in one game!! He had the power to be a home run hitter if he wanted to be, but instead he chose to be the complete player and hitter.

    Three legends. Charlie Hustle should be in the HOF and it's an injustice that he's not. Had he bet against his team then okay, I'd understand the ban and would actually support it. But he didn't bet against his team. He bet that his team would win, proving that he never deliberately did something to cause his team to lose. Put Pete in the HOF where he belongs! Dave Parker's resume speak for itself. 7x all-star. 3X gold glove, 3x silver slugger, 2x NL batting champion. .290 career avg. 2,712 hits. All three of these guys should be in the HOF. That only one is is a travesty.

      It's never been researched fully whether he bet against the Reds. Regardless, just because he bet on his team to win that doesn't mean he didn't compromise the games before or after the ones he bet on. If he knows he's betting on Tuesday's game, he could easily keep relief pitchers rested on Monday night when he doesn't bet. The bookies taking his bets could relay his betting patterns (which I'm sure they did) and thus every game becomes compromised.

He has the record walks at the plate and he wasn't a slouch on the pads either. His 688 INTENTIONAL walks is more than TWICE the guy in 2nd place. THAT was how scary he was at the plate. Nobody and I mean NOBODY wanted anything to with him up there because he had no weaknesses and he saw the zone better than the umps. There will never be another Barry Bonds.I used to absolutely love to watch this guy bat (and so did everyone else). Nope you did not take your potty break when he was up there!

    Pete would be in hall but he broke the only rule in baseball that absolutely guarantees you will no longer be involved in baseball. The rule is posted in every clubhouse in baseball and when Pete broke the rule he knew he was doing so. He then lied about it and finally came clean when he made a deal with a publisher to write a book. I love Pete the baseball player. In baseball he was a super genius! I still have my Pete Rose Autograph McGregor mitt; it's a terrific mitt. My first MLB game was at Crosley Field and Pete led off the bottom of the first with a homer and the only run the Reds would score in a beat down by the Phillies. Pete backed up every play, ran out every batted ball and played nearly in-errant baseball. He was always focused and never failed to execute the little details that make the difference between winning and losing. When Pete was with the Phillies, there was a play where Bob Boone didn't squeeze a pop foul and when it jumped out of Boone's mitt, guess who was there to record the out? First baseman, Pete Rose, that's who!
    The rule about betting on baseball takes all of that into account. The rule is about no one being above the game. "Shoeless" Joe Jackson had the third highest batting average in the history of the majors and went to his grave insisting that he was not involved in any betting scheme to throw the 1919 WS. The contemporary wisdom is that even though the Sox lost the 1919 series, there is no evidence that Jackson did anything to hinder the White Sox chances of beating the Reds. If there's someone that should be in the hall, it's Jackson; not Pete.
    As good as Pete was on the diamond is as bad as he was at everything else. Unfaithful spouse, terrible father, convicted felon for tax evasion & statutory rapist. Yet people still want him in the hall. That's not HOF cred. If Pete wants to see who is keeping him out of the hall, he needs just to look in the mirror. Pete Rose Way? Gimme a break!

The BS Houston Astros trash can banging, the Mitchell Report which mysteriously left out some steroid users, the HGH users and the greedy owners who knew players were juicing but played dumb because they were profiting. Pete Rose has paid enough of a high price. It is time to end this silly hand wringing and welcome him back into the fold. Rose belongs in the HOF.

      No I don’t. I wish I did. Back then, I would just tape my favorite player’s at bats. I rarely taped a full game. Your collection sounds pretty awesome!

    When baseball was just baseball. No emotional hang-ups because a pitcher took his time getting ready for the next windup. Pete 'Nose' just waited it out and drove in a run. Same with Parker who waited patiently, who I had forgotten played for the Reds. I met all of these guys in their playing days.

      @@MrGarymola which is yet another dumb idea some clown came up with. It use to be called the 'cat and mouse' game when a hitter and pitcher played step out of the box or step off the rubber games with each other until the ump said to knock it off.
      I don't know what the concept of that is because the games take about the same time they did in the old days. It's no wonder ERA's have gone up so much. In todays game teams use more pitchers which takes more time to warm them up in my opinion.
      We use to have a starting pitcher who went as far as they could, with a middle reliever that would cover him and if the team had a lead? The stopper (saver) would then be brought in. Simple!

      @@MrGarymola it use to be viewed as an art.
      There were times the game needed to be experimented with in order to achieve balancing the game out between pitcher and hitter, like the different distances from rubber to plate, distances from home plate to the outfield walls and things like that.
      Each stadium had, has it's own characters, distances, in some cases bizarrely like the Green Monster in Fenway, but even those things were thought out to even the playing field for home and opposing teams to give each as even a chance to win a game.
      The point I make is that after the early years of baseball, at a point the entire game was finally made were it made things even on both sides of all equations and the only off balance was what would be known as 'home field advantage' according to fan noise.
      You know what's really maddening? Soccer and Hockey. It takes so damn long to score. Anyway I'm old school, that's just me and I preferred the old way the game was played. I quite baseball several years ago, pretty much all sports ever since steroids took over. We are way, way over sports if you ask me. Too too much.
      I followed it all for nearly 50 years and it was sad to see it change so much. Young people have no idea that it use to be a fun game. Now it's a power game filled with stock holders and massive, massive contracts that people pay outrages prices for. What a waste.
      And it's things like all of that which has raised the cost of living on everything. Back in the early 80's I could see a double header at Wrigley Field from the bleachers for $1.50. Can you believe that? It's true.

    I'm old enough to remember Ryan as a met so I saw his whole career. Watching this video, I don't remember Ryan being such a slow worker. After almost every pitch her needs to take a stroll...they should've put a chair next to the mound so he could sit down for a few moments before the next pitch.
