Pete Rose was Rookie of the Year, MVP and a 17-time All Star. Anybody who comes on here and says he shouldn’t be in HOF because of numbers obviously never seen him play. 4,256 hits, 2,165 runs, hardly ever missed a game and came to play everyday. Give me 9 Pete Roses and I’ll crush you every time and that’s coming from a Yankees fan. Same can be said for Jeter. Guys that knew how to play the game and came to the ballpark to win.
It doesn’t matter because Pete Rose signed a contract to stay away from baseball in exchange for baseball not announcing John Dowd’s investigation.
Pete had many reasons for keeping it secret. There were also many people who wanted the results kept secret. Those people told Rose to take the deal ... or else.
