The only player to have played 500 or more games at 5 different positions.

[kairos12]

Pete Rose.

1B, 2B, 3B, LF, and RF.

[Zambero]

1. And catcher on occasion!

[MichMan]

2. G.O.A.T.

Travesty they are keeping him out of the HOF.

[dem4decades]

3. And I thought it was a travesty when he bowled over Ray Fosse at the Allstar Game.

Never mind betting on games.

[exboyfil]

5. Fosse was blocking the plate without having the ball

Not sure what you expected Rose to do. Fosse was in the middle of the base line.

[dem4decades]

7. It was an all-star game; meaningless, did Pete have money on it?

[MichMan]

8. Why would Fosse block the plate in a meaningless game,?

[Doc Sportello]

6. Not even close to being the greatest

Singles and doubles hitter with no speed and a defensive liability - which is why he moved around positions so much. I hope he never gets into the hall. Violated the most important rule in baseball.

[MichMan]

9. All time career leader in games played, plate appearances, at bats, and hits

Two gold glove awards and nearly 200 stolen bases

[Doc Sportello]

11. All because he played a long time

Past his prime in fact. Less than 200 stolen bases over 24 seasons ain't nothing to brag about. The Gold Gloves were early in his career for outfield and he was moved there from second and third base because he wasn't good enough to play them. He also was a cheater and liar.

[Diamond_Dog]

4. Great trivia question!

[Tarzanrock]

10. One ballplayer's opinion.

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress. — Mickey Mantle.

[Doc Sportello]

12. Mickey and Whitey Ford also gave Rose his nickname

"Charley Hustle" wasn't a compliment but mocking because they were making fun of his "extra effort" as showboating.
