Do the Right Thing—Let Rose In

I woke up today and realized that I missed Pete Rose’s birthday. It was a month ago today, April 14. I always remembered Rose’s birthday (4/14/41) because it was printed on the back of his baseball card many years ago—as birthdates always were and are—and for some goshdarn reason it stuck in my head. (I also remembered Frank Howard’s—8/8/36—but not the way I remembered Pete’s.)Pete is 67 now.
