GBL section[edit]

removed WP:RS/OR editorializing about irony. Jr's conviction for GBL distribution isn't comparable to Cocaine-addicted players' situations. Rose Sr's statement about Howe/Strawberry/Drug addict reinstatements and the choice of drugs or baseball isn't comparable. GBL and other performance enhancers like steroids and HGH are used by players to enable their careers, whereas Cocaine/alcohol/heroin/etc were used by Howe/Strawberry due to addictions that were definately not performance enhancing. Pete's Sr's speech of "choose baseball or choose drugs" wasn't talking about steriods et al, "drugs" in this case is what Howe/Strawberry/Gooden/etc used due to addiction before/during/after baseball reinstatement. GBL/Steroids are banned due to their use giving players an unfair advantage, not due to career-addling addiction.

Pete Sr probably used steroids during his days hanging out with known steroid dealers in gyms during his waning playing days, and also admitted to using amphetamines during the early years of his career, as scores of players did. Rose Sr was talking about players being banned for Cocaine addiction. Piperdown 04:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I realize that this is a talk page, but it is still inappropriate to make unsourced allegations of illegal drug use.Mk5384 (talk) 23:42, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics[edit]

Uh, these statistics can't be right. It shows his batting average as .024, but the hits/at bats comes out closer to .250. 70.61.17.158

Watch for vandalism[edit]

I just corrected the high school that Rose Jr. graduated from, and when I went back through the history of this article, I discovered that a vandal had changed the article in August of 2013 to say that he dropped out of a nonexistent high school, and somehow this was allowed to stand for nearly three years. I know he's basically only notable for being Pete Rose's son, but someone should have caught this a long time ago. Jsc1973 (talk) 06:25, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
