This is the first of series of sketches I am making of a photograph of one of the most infamous baseball stars Pete Rose. Now Rose was some one who was about long before I became interested in the game but from everything I have read he played the game to the full and but for his gambling problems would by now be hailed by Major League Baseball as one of the greats. Sadly this is never likely to happen and so may well join some of the greatest players never to go to Copperstown. I suspect that Barry Bonds will join him. This is just so sad.
