yes, but no one in the hall has been banned for life. f*** him

 

its his own fault.

You are right no one in the hall has been banned for life but I bet alot of them could be if the same rules always applied.

Oh yeah..... if the HoF has room for cheaters and batterers, among other types of miscreants, it should have room for a gambler also.

if they were found to be during their playing time or when associated with the game then yes, on the other hand, they have one in there already, ty cobb

I voted yes because i think nobody in the game will do what he did, 4.200+ hits...correct if i'm wrong.

so you and anyone who voted yes condone what he did, betting on game as a player and manager of the reds.

I rest my case LDF

 

More cheaters than batterers, but some HoF players committed criminal acts while in uniform at the ballpark. And let's not forget, we have a future HoF'er that cheated on Chicago's northside. Nobody is perfect. Nobody. Rose f***ed up, but that shouldn't effect what he did on the field.

 

The all-time ML hits leader isn't in the HoF but Perry, Niekro, Cobb and dozens of other are? PUHLEEZE

Everybody in the world make stupid things in life. Nobody is perfect.

ahhh so the word "cheater or cheated" needs to be define.

betting illegally on a game that can be affected by your actions. that is crimmal, look at the term of 'inside trader'. then those can be foregiven without any penalty. uh

No. They're the same thing. Rose gambled. He didn't cheat.

I don't think that was ever proven but I may be wrong on that.

all the fact never became known, the facts that rose does not want printed.

 

so the possiblitity is there.

rules and rules, the intergerity of the game needs to be kept solid, rose knew the rules and famble illegally. gambling is still illegals in some states as was the case in this era.

I dont know the truth about this...if he did this, what you think a guy that uses illegal substances to get more money??? It's the same thing, see Sosa and Bonds.

so when did it become a fact that bonds and sosa did the drugs?

where is the proof?

 

do you have a link to this new earth shatter news that they were found guilty?

I'm almost sure tat they used, but we need some tests and they dont wanna do the testing.

lets deal with facts instead of what anyone thinks or believes

 

the fact is rose agreed and admitted to gambling, and he sign the banned himself.

Dowd Report

Typical, so typical. The count is 4-4 yet im the only one with the balls to admit i said yes.

I said yes. The HOF is for ON FIELD accomplishments.

I'm almost sure tat they used, but we need some tests and they dont wanna do the testing.

Wrong!! Bonds pissed in a cup for Bob Costas on the spot. Sosa went ape s*** and said no. I think that proves that Bonds isn't afraid of anything.

There is no evidence Pete ever bet on a game he played in and I think that's the way the rule should work.  I also believe there is no proof he ever bet against the Reds in a game he was managing (I'm not sure about that one).

Non that has been made public. Some choose to believe there is evidence and MLB hasn't released it. Pete, with all the resources in the world to argue his case before a judge and jury accepted the ban. The ban did say lifetime. Accept the punishment.

 

I would like to see some dort of display discussing his achievements and why he isn't a member. Keep his memory alive without admitting him.

Once again, these are the rules. Pete Rose knew the rules when he bet on baseball. Plus there is precidence. If Pete Rose is cleared and put in the HOF, then so should Joe Jackson.

I voted no, but interestingly enough, it has nothing to do with the betting on baseball issue.

 

I recently adopted the belief that any professional athlete who has been convicted of a crime and has spent time in jail should not be in any "club" where the word "fame" is associated.  To me, the Hall of Fame is something that children should be able to look to and be full of people they can aspire to be.  Not just people who could hit a baseball or throw a lot of touchdowns -- but also people who were lawabiding citizens.  Pete, as most of you know I'm sure, went to prison for like 3 years for tax evasion.  That disqualifies him from my HOF.

 

Pete Rose -- all-time hit king (a record that will probably never be broken), but he f***ed himself out of the HOF.  Sorry Pete.

Bulls***. Profesional athletes are human like anyone else. They're personal life should have nothing to do with their HOF status. Pete Rose was the Perfect example of what a baseball player should be minus the gambling. Kids should be taught not to look up to these guys or try to be like them. They f*** up just like anyone else. I respect the player on the field. Half of them are f*** heads if you try to talk to them. perfect example. Aarron Rowand. This little son of a b**** has his nose in the air already and he no one. Look up to that????? NEVER! They have Million dollar jobs. It's nothing like it used to be.

 

Pete Rose was one of the greatest baseball players that ever lived. That's what the HOF is about. MLB HOF. Not the Nobel peace Prize. Put him in there already.

Why are you mentioning "HOF" and "Aaron Rowand" in the same galaxy?

 

And anyway, excusing someone going to a federal prison as "just being human" is a joke and you know it.

look at ty cobb

And did I ever say Ty belongs in the HOF?
