Pete was a HOF player, no doubt. And, the discipline for his sins was “banned for life.”
Now that (as my friend would say), “HIS troubles are over….” It would seem that Pete’s discipline (and it’s intent) has been fully-served. Further, as it so happens, there’s an apparent self-fulfilling prophecy in the offing (“from 10 feet under”).
That’ll be another one for the books, Pete. Hope to see you in Cooperstown.⚾️
Mark, in a one-on-one interview setting, was Rose as arrogant as one might assume from the outside looking in or was there a bit more contrition behind the scenes?
In person, Pete was very open -- one reason the writers liked talking to him. Of course, he used that to his advantage to spin narratives that buffed his persona, and unfortunately, he lied a lot, even about little things. The arrogance was part of who he was; it didn't dissipate in one-on-ones.

Thank you Mark.
Great question.

Great answer.
