Pants Rowland Posted Tuesday at 12:50 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:50 AM OK, how in the heck is this news not reported on mlb.com yet? I mean I know he was banned, but I think this is even bigger than the Mets-Braves DH IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted Tuesday at 03:17 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:17 AM I honestly give zero fucks about the sports betting because I am very confident it never affected his play but…the dude did admit to a sexual relationship with a 16 year old girl when he was 34. That’s fucking weird. Great player, bad person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted Tuesday at 07:36 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:36 AM Well consider his life just ran out, his lifetime ban should be lifted and he should be in the HoF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you’d have to do the same for Shoeless Joe Jackson… “Rose recently was the subject of an HBO documentary about his life on and off the field, including his ban from baseball for betting on the game. In an interview with The Enquirer in June, Rose reflected on that life, the consequences of his gambling and his own mortality. “What, are they waiting for me to die?” Rose said of his chances of getting into the Hall of Fame. “Wouldn’t that be horrible if I died next week and then next year they reinstated me?” Rose's legacy also was on his mind in his last post on the social media site X on Sept. 21. The man known to fans as Charlie Hustle wrote about his grandson, a baseball player at La Salle High School, who'd recently been featured in a Philadelphia newspaper article. "Couldn't be more proud of my grandson," Rose wrote. "Keep hustling with La Salle baseball. The #Rose legacy lives on." yahoo.com/sports Edited Tuesday at 10:19 AM by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most states would have had an age of consent of 16 back in the seventies and many still do, not sure that qualifies as pedophilia but pretty sure it didn’t at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted Tuesday at 02:35 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:35 PM I can't feel bad for Pete. His entire life has had one unbreakable rule in baseball. Don't bet on your own team. And he did it. Repeatedly. And against his own team. It isn't that deep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Ohio that summer that he broke the record....we would run an extension cord outside and bring out the TV to watch the Red's games while sharing a Stroh's 30 pack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
