Man, guess who is playing for the Long Island Ducks of the Independent League these days? Welp, the roster includes Jose Offerman, Ed Yarnall, John Halama, Edgardo Alfonzo, Carl Everett and Pete Rose Jr.

I want to know where John Habyan is. Lee Guetterman too.

Wonder if Pete Rose Junior and L.I. Duck's manager Bud Harrelson ever discuss Bud's brawl with Pete Sr. in the '73 NLCS.

I was 7 years old at the time and still remember the Daily News backpage (was it?): Rose-Bud: Pretty Thorny

2 Yeah, but if Pete Jr. and Bud Jr. ever tangle, my money's on Bud Jr.

Pete Rose, Jr. is now 37 years old.

Since he didn't inherit his father's baseball ability, here's hoping he didn't inherit the personality, either.

6 He got a year in prison for distribution of GHB (one of the date rape drugs), so it looks like the apple fell off the "scumbag" branch of the tree rather than the "skilled baseball player" branch.

That roster is wacky.

Ed Yarnall's best work was with Shields.
