Overrated punch and judy slap hitter. Ducks

Travesty he wasn’t alive to see himself inducted in the HOF. Fuck you Manfred. RIP Hit King.

he should be recognized for being all time hits leader, but not a living member. he knew one of the few rules that can get you banned 

if inducted after his death, a former HoF teammate should induct him

He should have been inducted into the HOF a long, long time ago.

RIP. I'm pretty indifferent about the HOF. If they let him in posthumously I think it's obviously well deserved. If not, he broke a pretty important rule and I think the decision is justified. I always had the sense that the gambling thing was even more important at the time because of the mob's monopoly on gambling in most major cities.

Rules can be changed. Exceptions can be made. Past deeds can be explained.

 

He was a gritty, overrated shitheel. I remember watching him break Cobb’s record and my dad muttering that he was a son of a bitch for what he did to Ray Fosse. 

Loved to watch him when I was growing up. He was who I wanted to be when I was in Little League. I insisted on using a wooden ‘Slugger with his signature on it. This was when the Big Red Machine was coming in to power. Maybe they will let him in to the HOF now. RIP CH.

That overrated shitheel had 4,256 hits.

I'm not sure that one is going to be broken.

Ehhh. Overrated? No problem with anything else you said though.

Fuck that guy. He was a first class piece of shit. Credible accused of statutory rape, a degenerate gambler, and a piece of shit.

He broke the rules. Keep him out of the HoF. Still RIP.

He signed a document agreeing to be banned for life. If anyone in this thread hasn’t read the Dowd Report, feel free to throw your computer in a dumpster and light it on fire.

It’s either that or my grandpa is about to tell a super racist joke.

RIP Grandpa John.

I'm not sure I care about the HOF, but I do not think they are bound by the ban.  Rose couldn't work in baseball, and I think everyone agrees on that.

The rule was posted, the punishment was spelled out on the posted sign, he did it anyway, he got caught, he signed an agreement to banishment including the Hall. 

Anyone who thinks he should be in the Hall is either ignorant of reality when it comes to Rose, a complete moron, or both.

No one is hurt by putting a dead man in the hall.

Just make sure that the process they used for Lenin is used. I’m sure the 100 years or so have helped make it even better and more realistic.

Putting him next to Ted Williams cryo frozen head will be a nice touch. Two of the best hitters in all of baseball on display.

My Astros fandom and much of Rose's playing career overlapped. The guy could definitely hit...but that's all I know to say good about him. The very definition of a hot dog. (He made Willie Montanez seem like an introvert.) Rose would dive to make routine catches look hard and was just as much a showboater in the batter's box and on the basepaths. I'm thrilled he never made it to Cooperstown.

You'd be telling older players who are definitely in that it's okay for them to bet on their own games. You can try to say that they'd be giving up being a living Hall of Famer but you're kidding yourself. Once you set that precedent with Rose you can't actually say "you have to die first." They would get in while alive. 

Dammit, this one really hurts. I hate to see it.

 

 

 

 

Because I took over 84 years old at death and parlayed it with Astros -140 in tomorrow's game.

He was pretty pleasant when my son and I met him at the Reds Hall of Fame last summer.

 

(But it was pretty obvious he is actually kind of an ahole)

 

(But RIP)

Nah.

Dead people can’t celebrate. Baseball made its point.

Roger, Pete, Sosa, Big Mac and Bonds get in. Just make sure they die first.

It’s principled and petty all at the same time.

Win, win.

Do you happen to know his surly handle?

He was a slap hitter who played a long time. Most of his records are counting stats. He had a few MVP-type seasons and otherwise just hung around for 24+ seasons. Less than 200 homers, less than 200 stolen bases. Took out a defenseless player in a meaningless all star game and ruined that guy’s career. Fuck him.

He was an absolute scumbag.  I can’t believe people still idolize that piece of shit.

Career longevity is kind of a big deal when it comes to HOF candidacy.

First, Pete Rose was a fuckhead cunt.

Second, baseball would be a lot better sport if more guys hit .303 rather than all trying to be home run jockeys sporting .235 batting averages
