Pete Rose

[Dial_tone]

I don't like him at all but if Lawrence Taylor is gonna get in the NFL Hall then Pete Rose should get in the baseball one.
Heck, what about Darryl Strawberry?

 

[Lestat]

He should be in..

His accomplishments as a player are in no way dimished by the shit he pulled later on.

Strawberry will never get in. Unless they have a special section for crack addicts. He can have Steve Howe give his acceptance speech.

Darryl Stawberry ? He was a total jerk outside but I cant find anything wrong he did while playing. Snorting coke ? The whole Mets team was doing this shit back then.

Who cares, big deal...old news.

How funny is it that Strawberry has been given his 4th chance by Steinbrenner to straighten his life out as the "Player development instructor"? He will be working with the young players. On what, the types of drugs to use?

And I just watched an old clip on Raw of Kane tomb-stoning Pete Rose..lol

 

[Raptorex]

New guys juice and screw up the records forever and will be HOF, Rose gambles and get's banned for life...

Pro Baseball is a farce...I was a lifetime Red Sox season ticket holder and now they can go f...themselves.

That play where Rose forearm shivered that catcher is one of the great moments in sports. He should have whipped out his Tito Santana flying forearm on Kane.

That was Ray Fosse of the A's in 1970. Fosse was never the same after that collision. And he was a very good catcher.

Pete Rose has only a few more years to get into the hall of fame through a vote by sportswriters, if he doesnt then the decision is left up to actual HOF members, and his odds are much better with the reporters then with the members, who are a pretty crotchety group, who have denied membership to players less controversial then Pete.

Also, his major problem is not that he bet on sports, not that he bet on baseball, but that he regularly, for two seasons bet on his own team. He says he never bet against the Reds, but even if that is true, its almost irrelevant because by not betting on certain games, he was basically telling his bookie that he doesnt feel his team will win. Its real dirty anyway you slice it. For him to do that, shows that he didnt respect baseball at all an was in it all for himself.
