The guy is a scumbag. I can remember while umpiring professionally, during spring training in Tampa, that's where Cincinnati used to be based back then. We would go out at night and invariable run into some of the players and whenever we ran into Rose,he was always with the most beautiful women and of course he was married with a baby little pete at the time.
I remember this one time, my first year in pro ball, we were at the Tampa Jai Lai fronton sic, we are in the betting area near the entrance and in walks Rose with no lye two beautiful women on each arm, both in furs, chilly night there at that time of year. Rose has a foot long cigar he's smoking.
What makes this worse and laughable at the time, that very day the Tampa paper or St Pete paper can't remember had just run a big spread on his family, wife and baby etc with all the pictures etc.
Even way back then 1971 he was a scumbag.
