Guest Posted October 1, 2024 Report Share Posted October 1, 2024 I agree, he should be in the Hall. Baseball moralizing is stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted October 30, 2024 Report Share Posted October 30, 2024 No. He knowingly committed the cardinal sin of betting on baseball while as a manager (can't remember if he was doing so as a player/manager). He knew the rules and then lied about it for years after getting caught. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted October 31, 2024 Report Share Posted October 31, 2024 I met Pete Rose in person once. It was in 1997 or 1998 after he was banned for gambling. My friend and I sit down at a blackjack table at Caesars in Reno. Low and behold, Pete Rose is already sitting at the table and gambling away. It was surreal.

Making money on sports betting only makes sense if you bet against your team in my opinion. But yeah, he broke the rules. He still deserves to be in the HOF.

There was some evidence that he did in fact bet against his own team. Titandan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanmuscle Posted December 13, 2024 Report Share Posted December 13, 2024 Putting him in after is passing is okay to me, he doesn't get to enjoy it after he's gone. Titandan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Earl Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 A strong case can be made for Joe Jackson. Although he knew about throwing the world series and took the money, he still batted .375 with perfect fielding. Time to put Rose in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Who cares if Rose goes in. He's dead and never got to enjoy it. He deserved not getting in while alive anyway, he was a total dick. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 I'd be like "if you can't put me in while I'm alive, fuck you when I'm dead. I'd rather never be in." OILERMAN, and Titandan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
