re: #340 HoosierHoops

True Story: I saw hitting practice early one Morning when Pete Rose was hitting.. I was just a young teen kid…The Stadium was dang near empty.. I was behind the plate and I screamed just as the pitch was released,
HEY PETE ROSE! WHAT DOES A MAN REALLY WANT IN HIS AFTER SHAVE?
Pete turns around with some anger in his eyes when he saw this kid laughing and waving at him.. He smiled and turned around to bat.. Pete smiled at me..
The Reds killed the Giants that day.. Rose had 3 triples if I recall

Mantle doffed his cap to me in Chicago one nite…it’s a hell of a thing for a kid
