Thread: Pete Rose to be reinstated??

A Freakin' men.

He should be in the hall for his outstanding performance ON the field, not banned because of his alleged performance OFF the field.

Abso fuqqin lutely

The man deserves to be in the hall no matter what.

the man deserves to be in the Hall no doubt. somebody had to have all of those hits. I don't care however if he ever is allowed to be a part of baseball in anyother way or not.

there are killers, drug dealers what have you walking our streets, yet Pete Rose makes a bet and all hell breaks loose. I feeel he has paid his price, let him in the Hall of Fame for christ sake.

I agree, it's all just history now, lessons learned. He needs to be in the Hall of Fame.

Plus, I have a lot of Pete Rose baseball cards that would sky-rocket in price if he does...hehehehe....

Put him in if he's proven innocent obviously!

But the man is accused of basically almost destroying the integrity of baseball.. Personally I don't think he's guilty but he needs to be cleared before you can put a name with that kind of baggage into the Hall.

I'm not trying to bad mouth you Corri but come on;

#1 Since when has baseball had integrity? If it's a sport and you can bet on it in Vegas it's already got integrity problems. No, I don't have any proof, that's jusy my cynical view on the subject.

#2 With the other crap Baseball/Bud Selig has pulled lately, Pete Rose's effect on the game will be POSITIVE, not negative.

#3 The things he's accused of happened AFTER his playing days were over. He should be in the Hall of Fame for what he did ON the field.

Don't worry about any bad mouthing.. I didn't take it personally

That's funny.. but we both know it's not a valid argument to let him back..

#2 With the other crap Baseball/Bud Selig has pulled lately, Pete Rose's effect on the game will be POSITIVE, not negative.

Yeah, baseball's been losing lots of fans in the last 10 years (I'm one of them) but that doesn't change his tainted record.

Pete Rose accuses the league of trying to use his face to save the league all the time. He calls them a bunch of hypocrites.

#3 The things he's accused of happened AFTER his playing days were over. He should be in the Hall of Fame for what he did ON the field.

He was a Manager/Coach of the Reds at the time.. That's just as bad, if not worse.

He's out because he's been accused of damaging the integrity of the game, like I said. No one argues about his abilities on the field..

On this point I think he's absolutely right.

And again I say his election to the hall should be based on his performance as a player. If it were based on his abilities as a manager he'd be elected to the Baseball Hall of Blame. The Reds SUCKED under him. (If I have my years correct.)

You might have something confused there Albob.. Pete Rose isn't being kept out of the Hall of Fame for what he did.. that wasn't his punishment.

The commissioned handed down a full ban from anything to do with the sport of baseball.. Entering the Hall of Fame is only of the many things he can't do. And the ban isn't about to fall anytime soon, unless he can prove himself innocent.
