[USML Announce] Hits and Mrs.: I Watched It Since You Don't Have To

[Doug Shabelman]

I have two great Pete stories-the one I will mention here is that in '82 or '83 Pete was in Chicago for a series vs the Flubs and knew the founder of my company (David Burns) pretty well from a few commercials they had done together.  David lived in Marina Towers and at 2 am, the doorman in the building calls up to his condo and said there is a very strange guy named Pete down in the lobby, can he send him up? David gets on the phone, Pete says I need to see you, can I come up?

David lets him up, opens his door and Pete is there with a  wad of cash in his hand asking if he can buy some weed from David as these girls he's with want to have a smoke or two. If he doesn't have any, can he point him in the right direction....needless to say, he was sent on his way but with a phone number in his pocket.....

Ahh...the good old days.

I actually did obtain a signed ball many years ago. I think he signed it Hit King, and I know he wrote the number of his hits.

I haven't seen the show but once saw Pete Rose signing autographs for money outside a sports memorabilia shop in a Vegas mall. I was not one of the very few that were standing in line.

The female lead is not really his Mrs., and I doubt she ever will be. She has two kids, a girl and a boy; the latter prefers video games to playing baseball (or doing anything else for that matter) with the Hit King. I don't know if Pete even has his own place anymore. All domestic scenes are shot at the fiance's CA home I might add she's several years younger than Pete and is quite well-endowed. They said she was a "businesswoman," so I did some research this morning and, yup, as I figured, that means she's an ex-Playboy model. What she sees in Pete remains to be seen, unless she really does dig chunky balding guys who wear track suits and offer pearls of wisdom such as "guys think with their [word deleted on air]"--heck, in that c
 ase, I gotta chance with this babe! Anyway, it's always fun to watch the humble pie Pete wear caps and tee-shirts touting himself. At a "baseball camp" taught on some rundown baseball field, Pete teaches kids to not cry and throw like girls--and all of them wearing Rose-14 tee shirts. Super cute. My son said even with the fiance's implants Pete's breasts were still bigger. It's a great family show and I encourage those of you with children to watch this baseball legend in his quest to find happiness. I'd hurry, though, because I doubt this show will last to Spring Training.
