Pete Rose

I was looking at old photos of the 1976 Cincinnati Reds and came across this pic of Pete. I am a huge Reds fan and actually met Pete about 6 years ago. It was a few months after his book, My Prison without Bars, came out and he was dining in a restaurant I was working at. I was polite and waited until him and his party finished their meals before I approached him for an autograph. He was very friendly and didn’t hesitate to sign TWO things for me. We talked about the current Reds roster for a few minutes before I thanked him and left.

The Offspring song “Come out and Play” was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this weeks topic.

The Offspring was one of my favorite bands during high school. Their style of pop-punk and rock were a big hit with me and my friends. It was really cool when we saw them play an ampitheater show in Cincinnati.

The odd thing though was when I did a Google Image search for some reference photos of them, a lot of their promo photos have them wearing sunglasses.
