Pete Rose
- Thread starter Brian_Fantana
- Start date
I would hit it 4,256 times.Here's his wife...he's doing ok...
She's probably not old enough to be the 14 year old he dated while cheating on his first wife.
I for one will never be able to look at an asterisk the same way again.Appropriate...it looks like an asshole.
Thanks, man.
I followed Johnny Bench at a pro-am golf tournament in Tallahassee after that happened. I asked him what started it but he wasn't forthcoming.
FIFY
Rose’s issues are 100% self-inflicted. He violated baseball’s one golden rule, then denied it and lied about it for decades until he thought it would benefit him to come clean. I don’t care whether Rose is ever inducted or not, but as long as they’re not inducting anyone with a lifetime ban from the game, then he’s out.
So was Gaylord Perry. I’d be fine excluding them if we explicitly knew who was and who wasn’t juicing. I don’t know who, but just playing the numbers, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we’ve already inducted a juicer.
He is. He is recognized in the HOF as the hit king - he just doesn’t have a bust. There are plenty of accomplishments acknowledged in the HOF from guys who didn’t receive individual induction.
I think Pudge (even though he was one of my favorite players) and Bagwell would indicate that a couple have gotten in.
I completely agree, but I think both deserve the honorand should eventually make the HOF. Otherwise, the HOF is essentially incomplete with their omission.
Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire and any other player that cheated with steroids or gambling should never get in the Hall.
IMHO.
IMHO.
Disagreed. Give them asterisks or put them in their own wing but all players who dominated the game in their specific eras should be in
Nah, especially the steroid freaks.
They wouldn't have dominated as much without the roids.
Absolutely not. Even the thought of the PED area is laughable and disgusting.
My word. We lost Pete Rose and Dikembe Mutombo in the same day? They say these things come in threes, so who is next?
This. Pete Rose is a separate issue. Roid players are cheaters. Maybe Rose is too. Idk
Asterisks and in they go into the basement of the HOF. No elevator and it has to smell musty.
I think Pete Rose spent the past decade signing autographs in Las Vegas making $1 million a year.
Amazing how this was how it was revealed on ESPN. Eduardo Perez, son of Tony Perez, finds out from Pete Rose Jr and relays it ...
Csb/fun fact/name drop but my cousin Dave Collins played with him for a year on the Reds and said he offered him all sorts of drugs to play through the pain. Never got a response on if he accepted or not but I'm ssuming yes because why not
Dave Collins had 79 steals in 1980. He had 395 in his career. And, a funny mistake baseball card!
We had a basketball player and a baseball player. So #3 should be a football player.

In retrospect, it makes perfect sense: three human specimens built perfectly for their craft:
Dominating the post in basketball:
Stretching a crushed single into a double:
Riding days in van to pick through junk piles:
In the mid 70’s Pete Rose was a Gold Glove outfielder. I think it was 1975 the Reds started out about .500 for the first 20 or so games. Sparky Anderson came to Rose and told him we need to get George Foster in the lineup. He asked Rose if he would move to third base. Rose said ok and came out very early the next day and take grounder after grounder all day long. The Reds then went 64 and 16 the next 70 games.
