Arrr, former sea dog of the broadcastin' world, Thom Brennaman, spun a yarn 'bout the infamous Pete Rose while visitin' the fair shores of OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich." A tale as tall as a crow's nest, I tell ye!
Avast ye landlubbers! The baseball seas be mournin' the loss of none other than Pete Rose, the grand ol' hit king, who sailed off to Davy Jones' locker at the ripe age of 83! Arrr, it be a dark day in the realm of Major League Baseball!Thar be chatter from Thom Brennaman, the scallywag son of the long-time Cincinnati Reds announcer Marty Brennaman, who spun tales of the close camaraderie between his old man, Rose, and the late Joe Morgan. Aye, those three were as thick as thieves, sharing laughs and tales of glory over rum and baseball under the stars!
Marty, a true shipmate in the Reds' broadcastin' seas for 47 years, be feelin' the weight of loss heavy on his heart, a treasure chest turned to lead. He called the day Rose cracked the record for most career hits—4,192, a feat fit for legends! The man was known far and wide, even rival fans wanted him on their crew!
Aye, Rose had a glitterin' record—a three-time World Series champ, MVP, a 17-time All-Star, and more hits than a pirate's cannon! But alas, he fell victim to the dark winds of scandal, banished from the Hall of Fame for wagerin' on his own games. Regardless, his memory shall live on, and he be sorely missed by those who knew him. Raise a tankard to Pete, ye salty sea dogs!
