Pete Rose's "Little Black Book"
Pete Rose collected hits and female admirers. Fascinating peek at Rose's personal life includes lists of names and phone numbers, written in Rose's hand, of women he met on the road. As a bookend, a July 10, 1987 letter from a woman named Barb asks a Rose intermediary not to read the romantic contents, in which she asks Rose if they can see each other again in Philadelphia. "You'd make me very happy, something neither of us have been in a long, long time," she writes. The date corresponds to the middle of Rose's managerial stint with the Cincinnati Reds, when he was accused of gambling on baseball games. Included are two color snapshots of Rose with unidentified women and friends, and what appears to be a frayed publicity still of a Tampa Bay cheerleader. Talk about love of the game. This "little black book" deserves its own Hall of Fame.
