Pete Rose

[timmgirvan]

Rose belongs in HOF for his playing days! He should be and IS banned from Baseball for gambling on games. Other than that, he is a sad, non-story man whose life was on self destruct. No Mas, No Mas!

I have the same opinion now that I did when the issue first came up ... he should be in the HOF for his play on the field but should not be allowed back in the game.

thing is, he was still IN baseball when he gambled, it wasn't on the side--people bring up babe ruth and his drinking, or roger maris--but that wasn't in any way, shape or form a part of their baseball career. that was an issue in their private lives. this is not. he bet on the game while still a part of the game. he broke the rules, and agreed to a lifetime ban. of course that no longer seems to mean anything-honesty, integrity, giving your word and meaning it. so now he wants to go back on all that--maybe he can go into rehab, that seems to be the order of the day now--then they'll let him in for sure.

He's a complete dirtball, at one time I thought he should be in the HOF, but for the way he lies, they should keep him out.


I am from the same part of town as him, his son went to my HS, and growing up I would see Pete all of the time watching his son play, as a kid in Cincinnati you were taught to worship him and I did, but enough is enough, he needs to go away and shut up, maybe after he's gone for about 20 years he should get in.

It's all his fault and he's a dirtbag and habitual liar....
