Now they can put him in the hall of fame. His lifetime ban is over.
At least Dikembe had a nice few hour run
I'll have to check Draftkings to check the odds.
Pete will now get voted into the HoF… and his bust will be next to Bart Giamanti’s.
Pete really played his cards poorly once it was proven he gambled. Bart took the position he had to take.

Also an MVP. Only baseball stats in this post. Complicated legacy.
And when he died, Fay decreed it to be the unforgiveable sin.
I remember as a kid following his streak by trying to tune into a faint am signal on cincy radio.
Game 32 - rose walks in the eighth on a check swing and it looks he’s going 0-4. But foster hits a slam and the reds bat around. Two out in the ninth with reds up 7-2 and rose lays down a bunt, catching Mike Schmidt - the greatest bunt fielding third baseman I’ve ever seen - asleep at the wheel.
I'll gamble and say old age.
My guess is complications from extreme arthritis of the right hand. I heard he signed hundreds of autographs a day to support his lifestyle.
I wonder if he had the under or over on 83?
Had a friend who ran into Peter R out in Vegas back many years ago.
Said he was a hoot to hang with.
They ran it up at the Blackjack tables for a while.
But Pete was pretty useless at the craps tables.
He said things got weird when they finished off at the roulette tables.
He was trying to spread out his bets around the wheel, but Pete would only bet on the 'blacks'.
His agreement with Bart Giamatti wouldn't allow him to put any bets on the reds....

So we reward cheaters now in this timeline? I guess that's par for the course.
He deserves to be in the hall as a player. It's criminal he's not. I don't care that's he's a shithead of a person. He didn't bet as a player.
If they posthumously put him in,, I'll be both happy and pissed they were petty enough to wait until he died.

He's the all time hit king. Bets would have nothing to do with that. If anything, if he threw a game, he'd have had even more hits.
That's why I've always thought they would put him in after he died. They gave him a lifetime ban. His lifetime is over. They should put him in.
