Pete Rose in the hall?

[Guru of Nothing]

I had Johnson in the top 10, because he is the first pitcher who came to my mind, but in editing the list, I must have deleted his name and then assumed it was on the list.

There is no doubt that the Big Train is among the 10 greatest ever.

I was scratching my head trying to figure out why Walter Johnson was not in your top 30.

I'm with you on the Pete Rose issue. He just was not that great. I was a baseball fanatic in everyway imaginable in the 1970's, and during that time, my adolescent mind never could grasp onto the hullaballoo over Pete Rose.

He's merely a notch, maybe two and half notches, above Don Sutton in my book.

Your argument is WEAK! Again, he did not bet against his own team so WHO GIVES A ! I suggest you change your opinion of his eligibility for the HOF or I will be extremely angry.

He just made it impossible for his team to win the game after he bet on his team because he blew out his bullpen on that game.

He knew what he was doing was hurting his team's chance to win the next game, but he did not give a ...he edf his own team just for the purpose of winning a bet on the previous game....he is the lowest of low...he is s ...and every one of his players hate his guts for what he did.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

I know all the facts of the case.

Why do you think that he has been banned for so long?????


Rose should have gone to prison for 30 yrs.

He's been banned for so long because Bart Giamatti hated his guts, that's why. Your bullpen theories are bull . There is no way you can prove he was sacrificing games. Regardless, any of those actions are beside the point. He was a Hall of Fame player and the gambling took place after his playing career was over. Pete Rose is the epitome of what every baseball player should strive to be.

I devious lying cheat????

He lied about his gambling for 15 yrs, calling everyone else a liar instead. Then he finally admits his lying only after they had the goods on him and were going to go public with them.

The guys should actually have gotten the death penalty instead of 30 yrs.

Okay, most professional athletes lie.

Pete Rose deserves to be in... if we're letting in all these steroid using stars in... why not Charlie Hustle... all their stats & legacies are tainted. Don't see the big deal anymore.
