Pete Rose Describes Joe DiMaggio Shower Scene

Former Cincinnati Reds player Pete Rose spoke with Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia and told a wild story about a trip he took to Vietnam in 1967 with baseball legend Joe DiMaggio.

Rose explained that when they were in the middle of the jungle, DiMaggio said he needed to take a shower.

"And the only way you can take a shower, Mike, is they have these big bamboo bags, like, and somebody's got to get on a chair and pour the water and pull a rawhide thing and the water comes through and the guy takes a shower," Rose said. "So I saw everything that Marilyn Monroe saw."

Rose went on to say that the best way to describe the former Yankee is that "he was a penis with a man hanging from it."

The interview was transcribed by Sports Radio Interviews.

OH, this was just tooo funny for words. You call that something to see? It is definitely
nothing to brag about. Teeny, tiny. And, why shouldn't children see this -- has your
little son ever looked into a mirror? Shocking. Prudes.

Pete is a clown. Why would you even tell this story -- and on the radio no less? No class.

Back when he was still married to Marilyn, I had heard that rumor. The information was certainly out there in those days.

Based on what he accomplished on the field, as a competitor, beyond his natural gifts, Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, far more than most of its occupants.

He told this story some time ago on Howard Stern's Sirius show. Great urban legend.

Many women will tell you they've ended relationships with men so endowed.

It was all that. Stories abound. MM apparently wanted something else.

Yeah, she wanted a guy who didn't physically and mentally abuse her, like Joe did.

Oh please....

I've had similar stories told about me for years.
Every time I go through security at the airport,
they always tell me I have a suspiciously large package.
You can see why.....

""Wild" story indeed. Also, "stupid," "sleazy," sophomoric," "inane," "unfunny," "moronic."

Also, one must not take a very long intellectual leap to imagine the probability that Pete Rose is simply name dropping and made the tale up. So, he may have met DiMaggio once? That won't help his hopeless HOF campaign.

Just keep hanging around Caesar's Palace and sign autographs for tip money you degenerate gambler.
