In other news:

Albert Belle: Baseball never told me to stop chasing tricker-treaters with my car and throwing baseballs into the stands to try to kill hecklers.

Tony LaRussa: Baseball never told me to stop passing out in my car drunk in an intersection.

Ty Cobb: No one ever said I shouldn't go into the stands to beat handicapped men to within an inch of their lives.

Barry Bonds: If only someone had mentioned that steroids were the cause of all this trouble I would have stopped.

Pete Rose Doesn't Think Ichiro Will be Hits Leader

Imagine that, Rose emphasizing that NBP is not quite MLB quality. Surprised that he wasn't humble and magnanimous, pointing out that he accumulated 500+ hits after descending to replacement level while counting on his star status and his own ability to write himself into the lineup as player-manager.

Actually, I'd be surprised if he's never mentioned that Cobb's AL was probably inferior to the NPB today, so Rose is really the hit king by leaps and bounds.

Rose is ahead in fWAR 65-58, but in 400 more games. They're quite comparable in a lot of ways. They'll be the only two players with 3000 MLB hits starting at age 27.
