The show officially opened up this afternoon, with VIP ticket holders getting early entry and free autograph opportunities with former Major Leaguers Carlos Baerga, Dale Murphy and Denny McLain. Below is Baerga, via ESPN Mint Condition on twitter:

And here is Dale Murphy with some fans, via his own twitter account. I gotta add that I really hated Dale Murphy. Not because he was a bad guy... Not in the least... I hated him because he always seems to kill the Dodgers. And the way he swung that bat around, which must have been 40 inches long, just scared the living daylights out of me every time he came up to the plate. As I now check his stats, I see that he didn't even hit us very hard, but I still feared, respected and hated the guy.

My guess on the Rose is that it's just his sarcastic way of saying people made him out to be a worse guy than he was and blamed him for things they shouldn't have.
