Before the Monster Seats…
Celebrating 100 Years of Fenway Park From One Fan’s Perspective: A Retrospective Look Editor’s note: This was a college paper written by the author (aka “Pete’s Rose”…aka my wife) during either her junior or senior year in college (either 1996 or 1997). It was transcribed by our 2nd oldest daughter, Alicia Rose, who is now […]
Goodbye Harry Kalas
When Harry Kalas passed from this life earlier today, he took a piece of me with him. I have never met Harry or spoken to him personally, but he has spoken to me for hours at a time, over the course of my baseball-listening life. I grew up in the South Jersey area, and Harry […]
A Great Awakening
Pete’s Rose Writes Again! Thank you Red Sox! After a long dormant spell of around 11 months, Pete’s Rose is once again heard on Baseball Reflections and it took the second best comeback in baseball playoff history to do it. I woke up this morning realizing that I don’t have what it takes to be […]
Pete’s Picks: AL Central
AL Central 1. Tigers : They might have arguably the best line-up in all of baseball 1-9, but their pitching, in my opinion, is suspect past the first three starters and especially their bullpen! As good as their hitting will/should be in ’08, their pitching might be the great neutralizer. Outside of Verlander, there […]

I hope you had a Merry Christmas!! Here’s a listing of our family’s favorite Baseball movies and the reason why we like them. These reviews are going to be conducted by my family and in-laws this week of Christmas. Here are the results: Grandpop (my father-in-law): “The Natural” – A quintessential drama where a down […]
Pete’s Rose: Go The Distance
By Mishael Schiller I haven’t had much to say for a while. Why the long silence? Well, I wanted to put some distance between myself and the World Series before commenting on it. Now that it’s been a couple of weeks, I have something to say. I’ve been knocking around for the last 12 days […]
Pete’s Rose Comments on Schilling
By Mishael Schiller Schilling may have just departed Fenway’s mound for the final time in a Red Sox uniform. He is a big reason why Boston’s trip to the 2007 World Series is not under the pressure of a 90 year drought. Schilling’s bloody sock game at Yankee Stadium in Game 6 of the 2004 […]
Tribute to the Tribe
Pete’s Rose By Mishael Schiller The Red Sox ALCS comeback of 2007 has one down-side. It was done against the Cleveland Indians. It was one thing to spank the Yankees in 2004 in their own house. Most people outside of New York (and some in it) LOVE to see the Yankees lose. There was no […]
Pete’s Rose
By Mishael Schiller The Colorado Rockies are in the World Series?! The Colorado Rockies? They need to change their name to the Colorado Boulders! How would you like to be the Red Sox or Indians clawing it out in the American League while Todd Helton & Co. have the next 8 days to cool their […]
Pete’s Rose…A Game of Inches…
By Mishael Schiller If you’re a baseball fan, you acknowledge that you’re subjecting yourself to a game of inches. For both Sox and Indians fans, game 3 was just that. Lofton’s HR was no bomb. . . it cleared by inches. Twice, the Red Sox had disciplined at bats and should have walked after they […]
Pete’s “Rose” (My Wife’s Reflections)
By Mishael Schiller It doesn’t make any logical sense, when you think about it: 25 men in uniforms hold the hopes of a city, state or region in their hands. A select military group? No. I’m talking about a baseball team. Every year I promise myself that I’m not going to get emotionally involved. During […]
