Are you telling me we can blame Joe Morgan?

No Mas remembers what Pete Rose was doing 17 years ago today. Grim. And still disturbing. To see what Rose was doing 32 years ago today, let's look at "Charlie Hustle" by Pete Rose with Bob Hertzel, copyright 1975 Associated Features:

"Today's training room argument was instigated by Morgan, as usual. 'How much do you think Lou Brock weighs?' he asked.
"'About 170,' I answered.
"'No, no, no,' shouted Morgan....The argument was on, one of those meaningless locker room arguments. And Morgan was willing to bet anything that Brock weighs between 180 and 190."

It always starts so innocently, huh?
