Espn Blurb About Daniel

I met Pete Rose and his SUPER F'ING HOT 19yr old girl that he had with him. Guess where he was!!! THE MGM SPORTS BETTING AREA. It was so funny cuz there are 2 sections split down the middle. One side had baseball on all the TV's and the other side horse racing. Pete was in the horse racing section, but on the very edge of it turned toward the baseball TV's. He was cool, the chick he was with was really flirty towards us... I think it pissed him off!

Quote of the day:"There's a line around the corner [40 to 50 people long] waiting to get Daniel Negreanu's autograph. Meanwhile, Pete Rose is sitting over there waiting for someone to walk over." -- Brian Balsbaugh, Negreanu's agent.

This is a classic line!

do I detect a hint of sarcasm there steamed?I will admit that I am ignorant when it comes to baseball and it's statistics.I apologise for my sad attempt at baseball humour :(You have proven to me that it obviously takes more skill to hit the ball along the ground than it does to hit the ball over a fence

Pete IS one of the best hitters the game has ever seen. And to answer your question, the majority of hitters aren't trying to hit home runs. They are just trying to hit gaps. Pete was one of the best at doing that.That said however, he does have some character issues. Should be be in the H.O.F.? Probobly. Will be ever be? No, and it's his own fault.

I think that anyone who charges for an autograph is a scumbag. Why did he get kicked out of the MLB (If he did, I don't know) and why is he trying to get re-instated?His website says he is the all-time hit king yet it does not mention HR.Does that mean he is 0 for 4256 in homers

I got Joe Theisman's autograph and he was ok about it. (like 10 years agoA friend said when he was getting Theismans auto Theis said "I noemally charge for signing a football"I would have told him to stick that football up his arse.

Here is a funny autograph story. When I was 16 I worked at Doral CC in Miami as a bag boy/cart boy. All of the workers chipped in and bought baseballs, footballs & basketballs for celebrities to sign whenever we saw them after there round of golf. If we used a ball up with an autograph we just had to replace it the next day and we got to keep the ball. One day Joe Dimaggio got finished playing and I was lucky enough to get to cleans his clubs and escort him to his car. I went to the clubhouse to grab a baseball for him to sign when I drove him to his car. As he was leaving I said "Mr. DiMaggio, would you sign this baseball for me? (very innocently, i might add) he said, "Sorry son, if I sign that baseball for you, you can go sell it for $300". I thought really quick and said..." Im sorry to say this sir but I really dont know who you are but my father thought you were the greatest, this ball is for him" (of course I was bulls.hitting) . He looked at me, smiled, signed the ball and said, "Great answer kid, tell your father I said thanks". Now its a treasured piece of baseball memorabilia in my house.
