Pete Rose Conversation Aug 16, 2024

Show notes

When we started this podcast we made a short list of people they wanted to try and have as guests on the show. At the top of that list was this weeks guest, the hit king himself Pete Rose joins Advantage Connors! Compared to each other throughout their respective careers, Jimmy and Pete connect on many levels and actually have a lot in common.

Both had a parent who helped teach them the game, both had that never quit mentality, and both were second to none when it came to discipline and work ethic. Oh yeah, and both guys liked the action of placing a bet once in a while!
