July 15, 201412 yr I guess im the only one who things Pete should be as far away from baseball as possible. I'm fine with him being banned from baseball. I have decided he needs to be in the HOF. Barry Larkin is in and Pete Rose isn't. Say that to yourself out loud.
July 15, 201412 yr IMO Pete will never get in while he is alive...after he is dead I think whoever Commish is at that time will reinstate him. But I'm not sure the prima-donnas that vote will vote him in even then. Pete the Player Deserves to be in the HoF, no question about that. Pete the Manage/Person may not deserve it...so don't mention on his plaque that he ever managed.
July 15, 201412 yr I guess im the only one who things Pete should be as far away from baseball as possible. You are not alone. My least favorite athlete of all time.
July 15, 201412 yr You are not alone. My least favorite athlete of all time. Take the emotion out of it. No one said he was a great human being. He has a major sports record in a sport that holds records higher than any other. The player should be in, period.
July 15, 201412 yr Exactly. That's why it's stupid to try and whitewash history. It happened. Everybody should move on. OMG, you are right for once. JK, you are right in that statement. We'll said.
July 15, 201412 yr Anyone know how to get tickets already or how to get front row in outfield for HR derby like last night. Is it first come first serve on HR derby
July 15, 201412 yr I guess im the only one who things Pete should be as far away from baseball as possible. No one is giving him a front office job. He needs to be in the HOF. What he did between the lines is HOF worthy if there ever was one.

No, that's whitewashing it, because it leaves the question unanswered as to why the hell it took them so long to induct him, despite his gaudy numbers. Just say he was banned from the game from 1989-2xxx because of wagering on the game.
July 16, 201412 yr Pete will never get in while Bud is in charge. In his mind, Pete killed Giamatti. Selig is carrying out his blood oath to Faye Vincent who in all whacked-out seriousness did think that.

July 16, 201412 yr He was banned from baseball, why should that all of the sudden be lifted? Ban from Baseball shouldn't mean not HoF eligible, if he did work to qualify he should be considered.
July 16, 201412 yr He was banned from baseball, why should that all of the sudden be lifted? They only instituted banned players being ineligible for the HOF in 1991. I call it the Pete Rose Rule. Even criminals sentenced to life imprisonments get paroled on occasions. Time to be enshrined in Cooperstown. P.S. I am sitting 2 blocks from the Hall Of Fame as we speak. Pete is all over the place...

He's probably got a Hit King Special going where you can get signed photos with him at multiple locations for a discount deal. You can't tell me he hasn't considered the angle.
July 16, 201412 yr He's probably got a Hit King Special going where you can get signed photos with him at multiple locations for a discount deal. You can't tell me he hasn't considered the angle. Pete will most likely be here Induction weekend in 10 days.
