Pete Rose Opens Up About His Prison Time / In this interview, the legendary baseball player Pete Rose, known for appearing in more winning games than anyone else in baseball history, is the featured guest. In 1985, he famously surpassed Ty Cobb to become the all-time hit king, a momentous achievement in his career.
The interview begins with a lighthearted tone, highlighting Rose's vibrant personality. He recalls a notable incident from the 1973 National League playoffs with Buddy Harrelson, where a disagreement escalated into a physical altercation. This anecdote illustrates the competitive nature of sports and Rose's intensity on the field.
Rose discusses his relationship with Harrelson, mentioning an amusing incident where their sons also ended up in a fight, indicating a humorous take on the idea of competitiveness being 'genetic.' The conversation then shifts to Rose's unique sliding technique, which he humorously relates to his hair style.
The interview takes a serious turn as Rose reflects on his time away from baseball, hinting at his legal issues and imprisonment. He candidly shares experiences from his incarceration, including interactions with other inmates and his involvement in prison sports as a coach.
Rose addresses public misconceptions about him, emphasizing the difference between his on-field persona and his off-field character. He admits to being aggressive and determined during games but describes himself as easygoing and friendly in everyday life.
The discussion also touches on Rose's perspective on baseball management, particularly regarding emotional outbursts from players like Rob Dibble. Rose acknowledges the importance of emotion in sports but stresses the need to control it to prevent harm.
Rose then expresses his desire to be reinstated in baseball, primarily to gain eligibility for the Hall of Fame. He speaks about his efforts to clean up his act and his hope for a future in baseball, albeit not necessarily in a managerial role.
Finally, the interview wraps up with Rose sharing his insights on the current state of baseball, including his views on teams like the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Minnesota Twins, and speculating on potential managerial opportunities with teams like the New York Yankees.
Throughout the interview, Rose's personality shines through, displaying both his passion for baseball and his ability to engage humorously and thoughtfully with his past and present experiences in the sport.

Ken Griffey Jr., Iconic Athlete Talks Career, Fatherhood, Aaron Judge & Lebron | The Pivot Podcast / Fired up to sit down with one of the most iconic athletes in sports, Ryan, Channing and Fred welcome one of their long time idols, Hall of Famer and thirteen-time All-Star, The Cincinnati Kid, Ken Griffey Jr. to the Pivot Podcast for a candid conversation covering his upbringing, relationship with his father, highs and lows of his career, the game of baseball today, becoming a pilot, and much more!
Known as one of the most prolific home run hitters baseball has ever had, Griffey Jr paved the way for many young black athletes to chase their dreams and became a global icon for his elite play, charismatic attitude and approach to the sport of baseball. Starting the backwards hat trend, earning nicknames of the natural and Cincinnati Kid were all part of the larger than life persona that fans idolized about the young athlete.
Following in the footsteps of his father, Ken Griffey, the young Griffey knew playing professional baseball was something obtainable at a young age. Ryan asks him about his experiences with his father growing up and Griffey Jr tells the guys that his father was a “normal” dad. An individual who took pride in household structure and spending quality time with his children. At home, he was dad and on the field he was my teammate.
It’s no secret that this father-son duo was historic.
On Sept 14, 1990, the Griffeys hit back-to-back home runs for the Mariners. They became the first, and still the only, father-son duo to hit back-to-back home runs in a Major League game.
Despite the accolades, Ken struggled with understanding who he truly was as a teen. In the shadows of his father’s legacy and the amounting pressures to be a star at a young age, Griffey Jr attempted suicide before getting to the Major Leagues, a moment that almost robbed the world of his talent, and he shares how this moment changed him and brought him even closer to his parents.
Ryan asks about the lack of diversity within MLB and what Griffey believes to be one word- money. Baseball serves to be a challenging sport for minority communities due to financial obligations. They guys speak on the reason behind why he wore #42 and how Griffey Jr understands that his legacy wouldn’t exist without Jackie Robinson’s ability to withstand. Fred and Channing ask about the use of steroids in the league and the effect it has had on the game and players as well as a personal whether he’s ever been affected by not winning a World Series, Ken lets the guys know he’s content because he gets to write HOF after his name and that to him is everything.
Switching to baseball today, the guys talk about the play of Aaron Judge and Griffey reveals how he recently exchanged messages with the New York Yankee and makes it known that he feels Judge is the best player in the game today.

St. Louis Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds - Clincher - Radio Broadcast / On Tuesday, September 26, 1939, the Cincinnati Reds faced off against the St. Louis Cardinals at Crosley Field. The starting pitchers for the day were Davis for the Cardinals and Thompson for the Reds. The 1939 season was a significant one, with the Reds sitting atop the National League and the Cardinals not far behind. The Reds were looking to clinify their first pennant since 1919, while the Cardinals were hoping to repeat their World Series success from just a few years prior in 1934. The game was also set against the backdrop of an eventful season for Major League Baseball, with the first televised baseball game taking place earlier that year, and the onset of World War II casting uncertainty over future seasons.
The game started off with both teams holding their own, with the first inning ending scoreless. The second inning, however, saw a shift in momentum when the Reds' shortstop Myers hit a home run, sending Lombardi and Craft home and giving the Reds a 3-0 lead. This was a significant moment in the game, as Myers' home run was only his ninth of the season. Despite the Cardinals' best efforts, they were unable to score in the second inning, leaving the Reds with a comfortable lead.
In the following innings, the Cardinals made several attempts to close the gap. Their most significant scoring opportunity came in the third inning when Medwick hit a double, his second of the game, allowing the Cardinals to score their only run. Despite this, the Reds' defense, led by Thompson, managed to hold the Cardinals at bay. The Cardinals' pitching staff also worked hard to prevent the Reds from extending their lead, with Davis, Shoun, Bowman, Warneke, and Weiland all taking the mound throughout the game. However, the Reds' early lead proved insurmountable, and the game ended with a 3-1 victory for the Reds.
After this game, the Cincinnati Reds went on to win the National League pennant, their first in 20 years, and advanced to the World Series. However, they were defeated by the New York Yankees in a four-game sweep. Despite their loss in this particular game, the Cardinals had a strong season, finishing second in the National League. The 1939 season also saw several individual accomplishments, with Johnny Mize of the Cardinals leading the league in home runs and RBIs, and Lombardi of the Reds winning the National League MVP award.
