Should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame?

ALBOB · 07-16-2002, 04:25 PM

I say Hall of Fame is status should be awarded for accomplishments ON the field. What he may or may not have done didn't have anything to do with his performance as a player and he should be in the Hall.

hurtyhair4u · 07-16-2002, 04:28 PM

Totally agree . The man deserves it but due to PC's overwhelming influance in our society it probably won't ever happen ( at least not soon )

ALBOB · 07-16-2002, 04:30 PM

OK Mr. Moderator, looks like I'm gonna need the help of your super powers. I wanted to make this a poll but forgot to hit that button before submitting the thread and now I'm being told I can't delet this thread and start over. Care to help a brother out.

bigss75 · 07-16-2002, 05:34 PM

Yes . All they are doing is trying to make an example out of him which is total b.s. to me.

**I Are Baboon** · 07-17-2002, 06:32 AM

Sorry Albob, I can not add a poll to a thread if a poll does not already exists. You could always start a new thread.

Ya big dummy.

Pete Rose absolutely deserves to be in the Hall.

EarWax · 07-17-2002, 06:50 AM

Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame. .... But then again, I think I should be too.

**dg806** · 07-17-2002, 07:09 AM

absolutely! No doubt!

Well DUH. Your 619 career homers and 3200 hits are fine stats. Too bad that whole "I threw the World Series for some protein powder" thing is biting you in the ass.

That was my original thought but I thought it would be kind of dumb to start a new one while this one was still up. "Then delete this one ya' big dummy", I hear you thinking. I tried but got a message that I wasn't authorized to delete this thread. Color me confused

. Anyway, upon careful inspection and precise calculations it looks like it's 100% in favor of Charlie Hustle getting inducted.

Hmmmmmmmm.....................Now that you mention it, have you ever seen Pete Rose and Earwax in the same place at the same time??? HOLY DISGUISES BATMAN!!!! Earwax is Pete Rose in drag!!!!!

LAM · 07-17-2002, 11:27 AM

even though baseball SUCKS ! he should be in the Hall of Fame.

Craft · 07-17-2002, 12:11 PM

He should definately be in the Hall of Fame, he earned it.

What!?!! Holy mother of all that is holy and mother, Pete Rose is EARWAX in drag! I can't seem to get any respect since I lost that bet with Pete Rose.

Anyway, if Selig wanted to break out a little from his current unpopularity he could try to reinstate Pete.

david · 07-18-2002, 01:38 AM

Absolutely he should be in the Hall of Fame. There is no question about it. Look at all these other famers in other sports and the crap they've pulled but they weren't held back!

kuso · 07-18-2002, 08:19 AM

What did he do to keep him out of it?

Corri · 07-18-2002, 08:20 AM

I think that'd be a great idea for Selig to save some face. Pete Rose was the best hitter of all time!

3/4 of the guys in that league are on steroids and cocaine anyway! Including the ones already inducted. Even Michael Jordan admittedly has a gambling problem!

a) He says he's innocent and you can't prove otherwise
b) Even if he is guilty he should be in that Hall anyway!

Corri · 07-18-2002, 08:22 AM

Kuso, Pete's not in the Hall of Fame because he's been accused of betting money on baseball games that he played in.

Seems stupid eh?

kuso · 07-18-2002, 08:24 AM

Does seem kinda stupid.......I guess if he was betting to win, no prob....betting to lose may be.

The biggest fiasco is the he agreed with the Baseball Commissioner at the time, Bart Giamatta, to plead guilty so that he could do a certain probation time and then be inducted into the Hall. Lo and behold, Giamatta up and dies and his good friend...................**$HIT, I can't think of his name**........takes over as Commissioner and says, "NO WAY!" "Pete's never getting in. We're gonna ban him from baseball forever as a tribute to Giamatta." Do you see the logic? Neither does anybody in this country. The poor bastard was/is one of the greatest players to have ever lived and now he's not even allowed to go to a stadium to watch a game. Just one more reason BASEBALL SUCKS!!!!!

Even for someone like me that doesn`t give a shyt about baseball....that is pretty fuked up...........

True, but to clarify, he was accused of betting against his own team when he was the manager.

farout · 06-27-2007, 09:03 AM

NO NO No, Pete was a great player.Too bad he was a bad boy and could not go along with the rules.-true ,he bet to WIN, but could have just as easily bet his team would lose. He was guity. A felon who has served his time in prison lose some liberties when he is released such as voting and owning a fire arm.So Pete loses his liberty of being in the hall.

**P-funk** · 06-27-2007, 09:19 AM

yes, he should be in the hall of fame. he is one of the greatest ever. he played like a mad man and he deserves to be honored for his play on the field.

**I Are Baboon** · 06-27-2007, 09:22 AM

Holy shit...OLD THREAD ALERT!

largepkg · 06-27-2007, 09:59 AM

Yes, but he should not be reinstated to baseball.

oaktownboy · 06-27-2007, 12:05 PM

lol this farout guy has 1 post and decided to bump a thread 5 years old...lol..I wonder how much searching he had to do to dig this up.

BoneCrusher · 06-27-2007, 02:48 PM

Without a doubt. He's one of the top 10 players ever. He EARNED it!!!

MeatZatk · 06-27-2007, 03:12 PM

I love watching the clip of him running over the catcher in the all star game! Could you imagine any of the present day pussies doing that? No, they'd stop halfway down the baseline and start laughing or hugging the catcher. Pete Rose played the game harder than anyone, and for that alone he should be in.
