Pete Rose On Wimpy Golfers

Sitting in his box stand on Las Vegas Boulevard, signing autographs for $50 a pop to curious passing tourists on The Strip, Pete Rose found time to rip on the PGA Tour’s library quiet-please attitude. Baseball’s all-time Hit King claims to have been a 10-handicap himself at one point, but that doesn’t mean he feels for the trials and tribulations of Tiger Woods.

At least, not when it involves the need for silence.

“I’ve played baseball with whiskey bottles being thrown at my head,'’ Rose said. “At Shea Stadium, in New York. I have no sympathy for these golfers who can’t be bothered by a guy talking in the crowd. That’s all history…that’s what that shit is.”

Rose was only getting warmed up on the subject of golf, steroids and the modern athlete. For more on TravelGolf’s three hours in the box with Pete Rose, stay tuned to TravelGolf.com this week.

Hey Pete,

I've been a supporter of yours forever, but this time you can "BITE ME!". The game of golf demands an entirely different atmosphere that baseball, or football, or any other sport for that matter, and I am both surprised and disappointed that you do not recognise and respect that. By your standards, you should be able to withstand the impact of a 130 mph hockey puck in your balls, or an uppercut to the jaw from Mike Tyson and still maintain the stamina to put one out of the park.
Sure big guy. I'd like to see it!

Just hearing the name of that washed up has been Charlie "Hustler" nauseates me. I'm tempted however to buy an autograph...I'm running low on toilet paper.

Pete, I agree with you. How many factors goes into a baseball swing? Maybe, not as much as a golf swing, but no one ever keeps quiet in a ball park and yet the ball speeding towards you @ 90mph must be hit in only 3 trys, or your out. PS You've served more of a sentence then what is just. The fans are behind you. Get a top PR firm now, your come back is now.
