Charlie Hustle belongs in The Hall of Fame.
I bet he gets into the hall of fame. Anyone wanna bet?
He should be inducted... the day after he dies. Giamatti gave him a lifetime ban and that is exactly what it should be. Rose should never live to see himself in the Hall, but the day after he dies, he needs to be in there.
Pete Rose bet on baseball - banned for life, as it should be.
Additionally, he sold tons of fake memorablia too, so screw Charlie Hustler.
Pete Rose should only be inducted in the HOF after he dies. He should not be allowed to give an induction speech.
Shoeless Joe Jackson should go in first. He didn’t even bet — and he was a better guy all around.
It's high time Baseball put one of the greatest players in History into the HOF.
It's not like he orchestrated an illegal alien invasion of the USA and scattered them all over the country to build an undefeatable marxist voting base like Hugo Chavez and Barack Hussein Obama did.
Rose has done his time.
Never. Ever.
“I will no longer do anything illegal in my life”
How big of him.
As I recall they let Rose back for a day for something.
Degenerate scumbag gambler. Hope he never gets in.
The article says that he bet on his team to win, as if that is a mitigating factor. However, even betting to win the threatens the integrity of the game. Managers make decisions on what pitchers to use on a given day, knowing that they have to rest those pitchers other days. Managers are in a unique position to decide which days they will maximize their team’s chances for success. Fans and players trust that they will use that decision-making authority to maximize the number of games won over the course of a 162 game season. However, if Rose was betting on his team to win certain games, he had strong incentive to use his best players in those games, even if it would be better to save them for other games.
If they let any of the juicers into the HOF- with or without an asterisk- then Rose should be inducted too. What he did was wrong, but it did not ruin baseball for an entire generation.
