Very selective naming of players by Rose when it comes to speed. He names Hank Aaron but Aaron had average speed; he stole 240 bases in a 23 year career, while Ty Cobb, disparaged by Rose as not "athletic" by comparison to the blacks of Rose's day, had 897 in his career.
Stolen bases aren't the only measurement of speed but it's a pretty good one. Roberto Clemente had just 83 stolen bases in 18 years, while Cleon Jones (Cleon Jones?? he was far from a star) had just 91 stolen bases in 13 years, yet both are also cited by Rose along with Aaron. Babe Ruth, often portrayed by the anti-White media as little more than a fat slob, stole 123 bases.
There was also no shortage of slow black players during the '60 and '70s, the heyday of black players in MLB. Willie McCovey, George Scott, Willie Horton and others were among the very slowest players during that time.
But I won't be too hard on Pete, who looks and sounds like he's aged quite a bit of late. He was never an intellectual or anything close to it, just a great White jock who lived to play baseball. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame but it still looks like he's not going to get in while he's alive, if ever.
