    Apparently, baseball was the only thing Rose was remotely good or decent at.

    Ah, ok, Morganna has an alibi. Doubt she’d claim to be older than she is.

    Pete Rose played the game the way it should be played. He belongs in the HOF. Period. All the other stuff is things for people to get upset over and convince themselves that he is unworthy for Cooperstown.

    At least he wasn’t betting on sports.

    Rose has always been a crappy human being. As are the majority of professional athletes. They are exactly why I tell my kids to not make heroes out of them.

    I like Rose growing up, but since he was caught cheating, I agree with MLB on the issue of not putting him in the HoF.
I know that might run counter to some of my fellow conservatives, but to me that is the right way to go. He shouldn’t have done it, and there is a price to pay.

 And BJ Clinton was impeached only because of sex.
