Whenever Pete Rose caught a throw at first for the third out in the Phillies’ 23-22 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field in 1979, he spiked it like a football instead of throwing it to someone in the dugout, as most first basemen do. There was something oddly compelling to it, and honestly, I don’t remember if it was just a Rose thing or if any other first basemen also did the spike. Either way, it was a cool way to end an inning and certainly helped turn him into a memorable villain.
