Sliding headfirst is the safest way to get to the next base, I think, and the fastest. You don't lose your momentum, and there's one more important reason I slide headfirst, it gets my picture in the paper.
Pete RoseI bet on the game of baseball and I bet on my team, even the mistakes I made, I have to take a different look at someone betting against their own team... that's throwing the game.
Pete RoseI made mistakes. I canโt whine about it. Iโm the one that messed up and Iโm paying the consequences. However, if I am given a second chance, I wonโt need a third chance. And to be honest with you, I picked the wrong vice. I should have picked alcohol. I should have picked drugs or I should have picked up beating up my wife or girlfriend because if you do those three, you get a second chance. They havenโt given too many gamblers second chances in the world of baseball.
