Giamatti's Decision: Maybe Appropriate in 1989; Worthy Today of Nothing More Than A Big Fat "Boo"

"The banishment for life of Pete Rose from baseball is the sad end of a
sorry episode. One of the game's greatest players has engaged in a variety of
acts which have stained the game, and he must now live with the consequences of
those acts. By choosing not to come to a hearing before me, and by choosing not
to proffer any testimony or evidence contrary to the evidence and information
contained in the report of the Special Counsel to the Commissioner, Mr. Rose has
accepted baseball's ultimate sanction, lifetime ineligibility."

-Statement by then Commissioner of Baseball, A. Bartlett Giamatti, August 24, 1989

Hustle

Baseball players can overrun first base for a reason, yet players of today are frequently in jog mode before their foot hits the bag. "Dig, dig, dig," and "Beat it out" were phrases my little league coaches used to holler in every practice. Today's hitters seem to lack the Rosey inspiration, the fireplug coaching from their youth.
