'It was 55 years ago, babe': Pete Rose dismisses sexual misconduct questions
"I'm going to tell you one more time: I'm here for the Philly fans, I'm here for my teammates, OK," Rose said. "I'm here for the Philly organization and who cares what happened 50 years ago."Pete Rose dismissed questions Sunday about his first appearance on the field in Philadelphia since the franchise scrapped 2017 plans to honor him because of a woman's claim she had a sexual relationship with baseball's hit king when she was a minor.
"They made me feel real good today," Rose said of the cheers. "I don't want to say I expected it. I guess I did expect it from Philly fans. That's the way they are. They love their sports heroes."Rose's already stained reputation suffered another blow in 2017 when the Phillies called off a planned induction into the team's Wall of Fame because of the sexual misconduct accusations levied against him.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe in 2017, said Rose called her in 1973, when she was 14 or 15, and they began a sexual relationship in Cincinnati that lasted several years. She also alleged Rose met her in locations outside Ohio for sex.Rose acknowledged in 2017 that he did have a relationship with the woman, but he said it started when she was 16. He also said they never had sex outside Ohio.At the time, Rose was in his mid-30s and was married with two kids.
"We've been doing it for a while, coming back every year, and to mix Pete in, I thought, was very special," Boone said. "When I go to , I always thought he should be there. You can write anything there, but he was the greatest hitter in the league. Put his name up and put he did this, got punished for whatever.""In planning the 1980 reunion, we consulted with Pete's teammates about his inclusion," the Phillies said in a statement.
