Pete Rose's rain delay videobomb turns into Internet meme
Yahoo ^ | October 24, 2015 | Mark Townsend

The addition of Pete Rose to the Fox Sports 1 broadcast team has definitely served its purpose for the still building sports network. Whether he's criticizing Josh Donaldson for not playing through a possible concussion, or bonding with Alex Rodriguez over not being liked, Rose manages to get people talking with just about every pregame or postgame appearance.

Now we have to include videobombs in Rose's act. During the eighth-inning rain delay in Friday's ALCS Game 6, Rose had the internet talking and immediately creating memes after momentarily popping up in C.J. Nitkowski's live shot.

That team trying to fill time during the rain delay was painful broadcasting. Real amateurs.

Now that MLB has climbed into bed with the fantasy sports gambling sites I think they have lost the moral authority to ban Rose. If only he'd give them a cut MLB would welcome him back.

Well, there have been tons of debates about Pete Rose.

No question Pete would be in the Hall of Fame if not for his gambling.

But does everyone realize that even if baseball reinstated Pete Rose tomorrow, that the Hall of Fame voting is a completely separate procedure?

Considering how few hall of fame votes were given to Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, mark McGwire, I have doubts if Pete would be elected to the Hall of Fame, even if he were allowed back into baseball.

Some of ‘ol Pete’s commentary was amusing as well. He appears, at times, to have been head-struck.

The look that he gave A-Rod when A-Rod said he did yoga and Pilates to stay loose we was great. He also said that if they were in KC that Frank Thomas could cover left field

LOL! Pete Rose even has it on his official Twitter page. He’s always had that wry humor.

He should at least be given the oportunity to be or not to be voted on.

Denny McLain was a super scuzbucket and he is eligible for Baseball’s Hall of Fame.
Besides Bart Giamatti had a hate boner for Pete.

Looking forward to Rose videobombing one of Hitler’s tirades.

Always thought there was more to it than we were told at the time for Pete to have agreed to a lifetime ban. Along the lines of betting against his own team, something like that.
