I wanted to read your thoughts and comments regarding Pete Rose aka Charlie Hustle and if you think he should be inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame. He is the all time hits leader and a 17 time all star.
I say let him in!!!

He gambled on the game as a player and manager. No.
 
I don’t care if he ate babies, he was a great player and should be judged on that. If one compares what he did to the immoral cesspit that is the NFL, almost no football players would be eligible for anything but jail.
 
How about the Rock n Roll hall of fame?

Plenty of good artists (in somebody’s taste) that are NOT rock n roll are in there, what a sham!

Pete should have been in long time ago.

I don't know the facts but how many Hall of Famers have done worse than Pete did? Just asking.

Players who have admitted to taking steroids are in the HoF. Pete Rose not being inducted is an absolute joke.
The hipocrisy of the induction ballot is laughable.
 
I seem to remember that he was already in the hall of fame before he got convicted. He was then subsequently removed. Didn't they do the same thing to OJ? I don't follow those statistics much but it does seem kinda chickin' ****.
 
He's served his sentence

he should be in

it ain't up to me thou

maybe after he's dead, they will honor him ?

I'm no longer & not a huge fan of MLB anymore...
Especially after the multiple players Union strikes/greed
& us season ticket holders were screwed over...
All while the rich ****, 1/2 of which are all foreign players,
are playing a child's game, many would love,
to gladly still be able to play, especially in the same settings etc.
(for free or very little pay/expenses etc.)
but;
these greedy ********, are all getting rich, millions of $$$'s,
to play a damn child's game !!!!

boo fucken' hoo, poor little rich, foreign or elitist, rich & coddled whiners

I don't like the commissioner or many of the foreign players

It's supposed to be America's game, yeah right

I rarely even watch unless it's the playoffs
or The A's are in it, then I will occasionally watch a game

:soapbox: got that off my chest,
I don't care what others think of my personal opinions either...

Without a doubt, Pete should be in the HOF. I just wonder if Denny McClain will ever get in......No one will ever get 31 wins again with the way pitchers are rotated today.....
 
'charlie hustle' pete should be in.
look how they dicked ron santo around
 
One of the best players to wear wear a uniform. His career and stats easily put him in the HOF. A model citizen he is not. But being a lying asshole isn't a bar imho. He should go in.
 
No.
But the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame is a complete farce as I've said before here.
 
let him in, it shouldnt be about non game stuff

He was betting against the team he was managing for monetary purposes. So it is game stuff.

I do agree he was great and as a baseball fan these greats don't come around very often. Too bad he took advantage of his position. MLB banned him for life but I expect he will be honored after his death.
 
This is still a tough one. Pete was gambling on games as a manager. Agree that was game stuff. If they don’t do anything more to the Astro’s then maybe they should let him in. If MLB trashes the culprits for this cheating scandal than maybe not. Still a tough call. He was among the greatest to do what he did and always will be. But he broke the rules in a BIG way.
