He never bet against the Reds.

How could anyone possibly know that.....

"I watched pete rose all the time, he was awesome"

False: most people in our area only had access to wgn, tbs, and the saturday game of the week at that time.

So lets say the reds played the cubs and braves 10 times each then were on game of the week 10 times (which is generous)
So barely 30 games a year is all most could have seen him

30 times is all the time in baseball. Even MLB doesn't expect you to watch every game. Half that is without missing in football. You do know that if you do something all the time its a figure of speech?

Shouldnt his managerial stats have been vacated, and if so his player manager stats would go with, and thus no record.

Also he is not on the leader board for hits per game

The amazing thing about Rose was the longevity of his hit parade.

He was not some fly by night hitting phenom.

His last year he had a negative 2 WAR, he was putting himself in, at the detriment to his team

That's why it was his "last" year.

It had to happen to know it was time.
