His everything he did after his first Reds stint was a farce. He should've retired then.
As for teaching minor leaguers - He'd have been the guy teaching dudes to chop wood and other silly shit like that. He'd have been out of the game by 94 and then spent the next 20 years on every morning radio show bitching about how the game has changed. Because he was a stubborn ass who never had a shred of humility.
The cult following of Pete Rose has never made a drop of sense to me.

WTF? You're usually spot on. You whiffed big time here. Your lack of respect in this instance, speaks more about you than it does for Rose. Much respect for you, but not with this take. Chill and move along.
