Balta1701 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Pete Rose: To be honest with you, I really don't worry about it anymore. Barry Bonds: It was flaxseed oil Sammy Sosa: I'm sorry, My English is, how you say, no so good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Bartman's my idol Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Peter Rose was a glorified singles hitter AND a degenerate gambler. IMO, he belongs in the HOF as much as I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, he belongs in the HOF as much as I do. Singles or no Singles. He hit over 4200 of them. How many do you have? I mean it's only the all time record.

witesoxfan Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) Peter Rose was a glorified singles hitter AND a degenerate gambler. IMO, he belongs in the HOF as much as I do. Ty Cobb was a glorifed singles hitter AND beat the s*** out of people. Why is he a hall of famer? Tony Gwynn was a glorified singles hitter too...and he only had about 1200 fewer hits than Pete Rose did in his career. Pete Rose belongs in the baseball hall of fame a little more than you do. He hit major league pitches a hell of a lot more than you ever did in your life, so just for doing that he deserves to be in the hall of fame more than you.

YASNY Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 For someone to say Rose wasn't a good enough player to qualify for the HOF is just, well, wrong. And I'm being nice here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) I don't think Pete Rose should be reinstated. Heck he lied about betting baseball after denying it all these years. I used to think he should be reinstated until it turned out he lied about the whole thing Reinstate Shoeless Joe yes, Pete Rose No. Edited January 21, 2006 by whitesox1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Rose was retired as a player before any wrongdoing was alleged or proven. He got more hits than anyone who ever played the game in the major leagues. He deserves to be banned for life for what he did after his playing days, and he deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame for what he did during his playing days.

JoshPR Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Agreed 100% I mean as I said look at Lawrence Taylor, I think he got arrested 3 or 4 days before being inducted in the Football H.O.F. I mean he was a Junkie. But they looked at his playing days. Rose played the game hard and has the hits record. He deserves the Hall. I mean the Absolut leader in hits in the History of the game not in the Hall???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samclemens Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 rose was a bum. always has been, always will be. what is this from him now, reverse psychology? "i dont really care anymore...i swear", like that will get him in? bottom line, rose gambled on his own team while he was a manager. absolutely dispicable. he should continue to be banned, even if it did take him 20+ years simply to come clean.

JoshPR Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 He did Wrong. But what he did on the playing field sould be reconized. Like it or Not. TY Cobb was an asshole and one of the biggest biggots of his time. and he's in the hall.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
