Should have been done sooner
Yup.Called it. They always wait until they die to do stuff like this. It's a shame
Pete bet on Baseball while he managed the Reds where he could help determine the outcomeWhy were they on there? Steroid related stuff?
I only know of Peter Rose from his various WWF / WWE appearances.
Most people on their either voided by roids, cheating, gambling, etc.Why were they on there? Steroid related stuff?

The steroid users are shadow banned, just not getting votes. These guys cheated via gambling. Shoeless Joe maybe didn't cheat but he knew the rest of the team was and didn't say anything.Why were they on there? Steroid related stuff?

Pete bet on everything he could.It's a shame he never lived to see hit. Put him in the hall and call it a day.
HeisenbergFX4 i know you knew him. Share a Pete rose story please.
If I remember correctly, didnt he admit to betting Reds to win? So in a way, I know gambling is a no no, but his job as coach is to win anyway.Pete bet on everything he could.
He would have wads of cash on his desk and would have guys go place bets to someone I wouldn't remotely want to know out in the parking lot of the stadium using a payphone
Huge homophobe that would buy a certain player hookers to "blow him straight"
But once he called you a friend there was no one faster to get in your corner
Even if he did bet to always win the problem is would it change how he managed?If I remember correctly, didnt he admit to betting Reds to win? So in a way, I know gambling is a no no, but his job as coach is to win anyway.
Do you know if Rose ever bet to lose? That would be different.
I faintly remember seeing the 4,162 game on TV live. It was against SD. Such a special game I assume every market in US/Can had the game on TV even though it was Reds/SD. Back then in the Toronto market, the only games on TV you'd see are Jays, Expos and on Buffalo Fox29 you'd get Yankees games. They never showed Mets.
You shouldn't bet on any sport you coach play participate or own. It will affect many things when winning or losing makes you money.If I remember correctly, didnt he admit to betting Reds to win? So in a way, I know gambling is a no no, but his job as coach is to win anyway.

You know I've heard this argument countless times, but if he also bet on the next couple games, wouldn't that discourage him from doing that?at the cost of the next couple of games?
100% would have to know his betting patternYou know I've heard this argument countless times, but if he also bet on the next couple games, wouldn't that discourage him from doing that?
Yeah definitely, plus I know the odds might make some games worth more than others etc etc100% would have to know his betting pattern
Hey uhhh.... Not Pete, bud, fella... I'm feeling super super gay all of a sudden and unless a friend steps in to help I might end up doing the homo. Not sure why I'm telling you this Not Pete it's just I always considered you to be a friend.Huge homophobe that would buy a certain player hookers to "blow him straight"

More likely that the biggest star in the world is tied up in a huge gambling controversy that they managed to sweep under the rug. Selig/Manfred will always protect the Dodgers.10000% the reason they did this is so they can open up the MLB broadcasts to gambling shit that has corrupted and ruined almost every other sport.
The baseball writers have too much power in this regard. Somehow Albert Belle is not in the HoF. RidiculousThey going to let Curt Schilling in the HoF or are they still going to have a bug up their ass about him?
Pete's fate now rests in the hands of the Era committee which is a mix of media and HOF players (though no idea who is on that committee presently without looking it up)Manfred is a Selig disciple and therefore, a coward. Has absolutely no business being a commissioner. If I'm the baseball writers I would not vote him in on purpose. He didn't want to get voted in after he died. To do it months later is a slap in the face.

I didn't realize that they were doing this. Since he was ineligible and not passed over he should default to being voted in. He was banned before his first year of eligibility.Pete's fate now rests in the hands of the Era committee which is a mix of media and HOF players (though no idea who is on that committee presently without looking it up)
10 days before his death, Rose told sportscaster John Condit: "I've come to the conclusion -- I hope I'm wrong -- that I'll make the Hall of Fame after I die. Which I totally disagree with, because the Hall of Fame is for two reasons: your fans and your family. ... And it's for your family if you're here. It's for your fans if you're here. Not if you're 10 feet under. You understand what I'm saying?"
"What good is it going to do me or my fans if they put me in the Hall of Fame a couple years after I pass away?" Rose told Condit. "What's the point? What's the point? Because they'll make money over it?"
Called it. They always wait until they die to do stuff like this. It's a shame
There is a loophole there to exploit"Lifetime ban", life went away, ban lifted.
Well I don't really care about mark mcguire or bonds using steroids. They were not banned when they used them.Wild that so many would support him going into the hall of fame. Just goes to show that people don't really care about the integrity of the game...
