Video: Jeremy Schaap interviews Pete Rose on ESPN: Rose Opens Up About Lifetime Ban, Regrets

[freedomson]

I grew up near Cincinnati during the Big Red Machine days.

I say this as a long time fan, I forgive you Pete but, I don't want you in the Hall of Fame.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Yes Pete...especially since it’s all about you eh?

[V_TWIN]

Good luck with that Charlie hustle, but your not “color coded” and that might not have even saved you.

[circlecity]

Wait a sec Pete, you didn just gamble on baseball. When caught you lied about it and drug the league through a months long legal battle and media circus, proclaiming your innocence the whole way. You only fessed up after you lost every step of the way and concluded that was the only chance left to try and someday con your way back in.

[Cowboy Bob]

This would never have happened if Pete Rose had been White. /sarc

[camle]

wah wah wah!
you knew the penalty for what you did. you denied it when it happened, and have been trying to weasel out of the punishment ever since.
if you didn’t wanna do the time, you shouldn’t have done the crime

[Joe Boucher]

NOw that Fay Vincent and his boyfriend are gone, maybe Pete can be forgiven???

[kosciusko51]

I would have no problem with him entering the HOF once his lifetime ban was finished.

[Scoutmaster]

Your achievements are in the Hall of Fame, Charlie. You don't belong there.

Not that it's relevant to the conversation, but we know you bet against the Reds.

[discostu]

All depends on how many times we’re lied to. Pete just plain told too many.

[SgtHooper]

Become a Muslim homo, and you’re home free!

[ilgipper]

I’d like to see him in the HOF, but not allowed to be involved in baseball. As much as I detest Bonds, I’d like to see him in the HOF, too. He earned it before he ‘buffed’ up. Clemens earned it too. Most of those other guys..Sosa McGuire and all relied on the drugs to get their HOF numbers, but not the other two, IMO

I am one who thinks the entire body of work on the field should be the criteria. Rose on the field is on a very short list of the greatest players ever, and he should have a place.

[dainbramaged]

Great baseball player, not so much in the human being department.

[a fool in paradise]

Ask Roger Clemens how forgiving they are. Congress can be the worst.

[right way right]

Is there a hall of shame?

[CharleysPride]

Only for those who repent and ask forgiveness, Pete

[ozzymandus]

You’ve been forgiven, Pete. You’re not in jail, are you?

[mulligan]

It is forgiving but not for stupidity.

[Vermont Lt]

Lifetime means lifetime.

Elect him the year after he dies.

I know it sounds cruel, but I have been in major league locker rooms. Its not like anyone can say they did not know gambling is a big no no.

I would love to see Shoeless Joe Jackson reinstated as well.

Pete Rose: 'I've Been Led to Believe That America Is a Forgiving Country'

I'd give him extra time just for that.
