Maybe they’ll finally let him in the Hall of Fame. 4,256 hits is unreal – 200 hits a year for 20 years and you still wouldn’t match it.

Pete Rose was a great ballplayer! That gambling deal is clearly a blemish on his record, stupid to even give the impression of violating the gambling rule. I did see. A recent interview where it was discussed one of Pete Rose’s somewhat unknown lesser known records. Pete Rose played on teams that won over 1900 games. The next closest is Carl Yaztremski(?) at a little over 1700 games won.

If they let Juan Marachal into the Hall of Fame after he bashed a baseball bat over Johnny Roseboro’s head, they can let in Pete Rose. While I cannot condone the gambling, that doesn’t hold a candle to attempted murder.

His 4,256 hits (the most ever) came before he gambled on baseball. Only a few people might know if he gambled on his own team as a player/manager or manager…..He denied he did. The gambling was wrong but not as cheat worthy as the steroid boys, Bonds, Canseco, McGwire, Sosa, Clemons. Those boys should NEVER be allowed in Cooperstown. Pete Rose should be in the Hall Of Fame and the fuckers that decide that should rot in hell because he didn’t get enshrined when he was alive….

Pete’s ban was not lifetime. He was declared PERMANENTLY INELIGIBLE. He’ll never be in.
