Did I mention he was an A’hole dodge ball player too. Discredited, lol. I’m betting you don’t live in Franklin, Ohio now do you. I have met two honorable Reds, corked bat is not one of them.

By your standards do you have issue with Ted Williams too

Or God forbid Cobb

One has to be a sweetie to be in Cooperstown?

My opinion is Rose is exponentially qualified to be there

And it’s Franklin TN which is near Music City

I’m sure Franklin Ohio is fine

My number one employee is from Dublin

Ohio not Ireland

According to this list (subjective to be sure) Bench is number 16, Rose 25.

This one has Bench 33, Rose 37:

This one has Bench 40, Rose 87:

Some guy by the name of Ruth keeps occurring as the best of all time. And this before the proliferation of performance-enhancing drugs or PEDs, e.g., the Cream, the Clear, Clomid, Winstrol, Deca-Durabolin, trenbolone, HGH, testosterone decanoate, insulin, and Modafinil.

It must be great to be a sycophant, lol. You could have instead simply did a duckduckgo search on pete rose’s bookie and found a wealth of hidden information you wasn’t looking for.

I think he’s qualified as a player to be in the hall of game and that makes me a sycophant

Maybe you should open the dictionary

To: wardaddy; All

I don’t need a dictionary, I just simply had to look at your tagline, lol. Little girls??????? See if you really were interested in past words about 16 year olds from corked bat himself you could have easily went to duckduckgo again. You think I made that up. Except she wasn’t 16, Corked bat was fine with that though because the age of consent in Ohio is 16, even though he was 34, married, and had two kids. I can imagine all the baseball statistics you can spout off of what he did at that age. Was it you who accused someone else of being a jock sniffer. s/

your posting style says more about you than anything Pete Rose did

It’s a sad facet of free Republic

Obnoxious scolds

Most often found north of Covington
