Perhaps his worst mistake was giving one to Town Alderman Harvey Penberthy. With Penberthy leading the pack, the angry ticket holders besieged the board of aldermen to rid the town of this new menace. On July 11, Morgan...

"Watch him go now," Second Baseman Joe Morgan whispered to someone at the 1978 peak of Rose's gaudy domestic drama in Cincinnati. Pete proceeded to get a hit in 44 straight games...
...rather than sad, Rose's obsession has always made some people mad. The thing is, Rose won't even walk when he gets a walk. At an All-Star Game several years ago, Aaron was berating Joe Morgan over what an infernal hot dog Rose was, and Morgan was shaking with laughter. "You sound like me before I played with him every day," Morgan said. "He plays the game that way because it's the only way he knows how to play it, probably the only way he can play it.
