I mean Rose left his teams, we wouldn't let Brett go for nothing.

Rose was a hometown boy who was NOT arrogant in a 'I'm a better person than you' kind of way....He was brash and confident, but Cincinnati LOVED him, even to this day, with all his troubles....he was a CIncy fixture for 17 years, before he left....if ever there was a player that could take fans with him when he left, it was him....There was all kind of talk to hang the GM and eat his children, but no one quit going to the games...
