    I Ran Into Pete Rose in Philly Airport a Couple of Months Ago

    I ran into Pete Rose in Philly airport a couple of months ago. Not like he ran into Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game though - because that would hurt. More about that game later. Pete was at his gate waiting for a flight to Cincinnati. (Naturally) But he was wearing a Phillies ball cap. (Interesting!). As a Canadian, I saw no need to approach him for any reason whatsoever. Canadians and Americans deal with celebrities differently. I went back to the restaurant and informed my American wife of nearby celebrity, evidently also informing the eavesdropping lady at the next table, and both of them practically dropped their forks to head over to the Cincy gate. I had actually met Rose before, as he signed baseball cards in a Vegas sport collectibles store. I remembered feeling sad for him. Which was odd, because his life has been such an incredible story - the fluky way he first got to the Majors; how he became one the greatest players ever, and still holds Major League records for games (3562), at-bats (14053), hits (4256), and singles (3215). Three World Series wins later he gets accused of betting on baseball games, including ones involving the Reds - while managing the Reds. He denies, denies....and then, 15 years later, admits to it in his biography. He got a life-time ban from baseball, and from consideration for the Hall of Fame. He was then relegated to a life of card signing, reality shows, and stunts. There were allegations of sexual relations with a minor, and he also did 5 months of jail time for failing to report income from memorabilia signings, receiving a conviction for tax evasion.

Play began with the Mesa Solar Sox visiting the Glendale Desert Dogs and the Peoria Javelinas hosting the Surprise Saguaros. Glendale features the highest-rated prospect in the league, Phillies shortstop J.P. Crawford (No. 5 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 list), and Minor League home run leader A.J. Reed (Astros). Mesa counters with a top shortstop prospect of its own in Daniel Robertson (Rays), who batted .301 for the Solar Sox last fall. Surprise's lineup is powered by outfielders Brett Phillips (Brewers) and Lewis Brinson (Rangers). Peoria boasts a pair of former first-round picks in shortstop Alex Blandino (Cardinals) and corner infielder D.J. Peterson (Mariners). The first night game of the season featured the Scottsdale Scorpions at the crosstown Salt River Rafters, the AFL's defending champions. Salt River has one of the deepest lineups in the league, led by two Mets first-round picks, shortstop Gavin Cecchini and first baseman Dominic Smith.

It also marks the first time the A’s have drafted a college player in the first round since Gray was selected out of Vanderbilt University three years ago. The Athletics have one more pick tonight, their second round pick (65th selection overall), which is expected to be announced shortly after 8 p.m.
