Should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame? By HatetheSwamp October 1, 2024 1:14 pm Category: Sports (0.0 from 0 votes) Rules of the Post Write A New Article How To Post Here

NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Rose, baseball’s career hits leader and fallen idol who undermined his historic achievements and Hall of Fame dreams by gambling on the game he loved and once embodied, has died. He was 83.

For fans who came of age in the 1960s and ‘70s, no player was more exciting than the Cincinnati Reds’ No. 14, “Charlie Hustle,” the brash superstar with the shaggy hair, puggish nose and muscular forearms. At the dawn of artificial surfaces, divisional play and free agency, Rose was old school, a conscious, dirt-stained throwback to baseball’s early days. Millions could never forget him crouched and scowling at the plate, running full speed to first even after drawing a walk, or sprinting for the next base and diving headfirst into the bag.

Should Charlie Hustle be in the Hall of Fame?

by Donna on October 1, 2024 1:38 pm One of the greatest players of all time, but IMO no. Coincidentally, I'm watching my O's and Royals in game 1 of the wikd card series. by Curt_Anderson on October 1, 2024 2:05 pm Nope. His stats should be in the record books, but the Hall of Fame shouldn’t be for people who brought disrepute on the game. by oldedude on October 1, 2024 3:51 pm So far, I'm in agreement with the consensus. He violated the rules. by Indy! on October 1, 2024 8:52 pm There's a standard for Hall of Fame entries - very simple... can you tell the story of the sport without that person? So can you tell the story of baseball without Pete Rose? He has the all time hits and games played records if memory serves. You can tell the story of baseball without mentioning those two rather impressive stats? I don't think so. Bottom line? You're all wrong - Pete's in. And I mean that literally - they will induct him. Probably not right away because it would look like they were waiting for him to die (which they were) - but he's going in. by meagain on October 2, 2024 8:05 am I used to suck on a couple of glucose squares before a soccer match to distance run. Was I cheating? Should my trophies be taken away? by HatetheSwamp on October 2, 2024 8:09 am meagain, No. That's not cheating. Did Rose do that too? by Indy! on October 2, 2024 8:48 am As far as I know, there is no evidence of Rose cheating. He bet on games, he didn”t cheat. by HatetheSwamp on October 2, 2024 8:53 am Good point. Go To Top
