Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Should the guy be allowed to enter the Hall of Fame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 Well, I will continue to say he doesn't deserve to. I don't really care about the fact that he bet on other sports, but this guy bet on baseball, and against the Reds. Their are big time reasons this guy agreed to the life-time ban on baseball as long as the evidence stayed hidden and the buffoon still denies it. I also think many forget that Pete Rose wasn't the first this happened to. Many call it the Rose rule, but Shoeless Joe and others were given the same ban before him, so Pete knew what would happen. Gambling almost ruined the integrity of baseball in the beginning of the 20th century. If you get caught doing it, its simple. Rose should of apologized way back when. If he apologizes now, I don't see it as sympethatic. An apology should not get him back into the everyday life of baseball. If he gets into the hall after admitting it, then I won't be furious, but only if its the Hall of Fame. He's still got to carry out the rest of that ban.

DonkeyKongerko Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 i know it was proven he bet on baseball but recent ESPN coverage said it was never actually proven he bet against the reds. so whats the deal, is ESPN just pushing the Pete Rose bandwagon or is this actually up for debate?

doubleM23 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Both Pete Rose and Joe Jackson should be in the Hall of Fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Anything he did as a manager has ZERO to do with his playing days, and should be ignored when considering his induction into the Hall. Whether or not the lifetime ban is lifted, I don't care. But if the person who got more hits than anyone else isn't in the Hall Of Fame, then the HOF doesn't mean all that much to me.
