Pete should be in the hall of fame....though he should not be allowed to work in the game in any capacity.
I agree. Rose has been punished for his crime, but his crime did not affect his record. I think part of the problem with Rose is that he is a complete jerk, but that was the case thirty years ago when he was in his glory days. I think Selig should lift Rose’s ban on the condition that Rose sign a statement agreeing to never work in baseball.
That is my opinion as well... Pete earned his records - and was a truly great player. He should be acknowledged for that. As has been said, his records are not in any way improved or given the steroid treatment by his crime.
‘Pete should be in the hall of fame....though he should not be allowed to work in the game in any capacity.’
Couldn’t disagree more. He lied, he destroyed other peoples lives, then ‘came clean’ after others had taken the fall, and blame, for over a decade.
On my flight back from Vegas last month, there was Pete Rose.......
Oh, btw, everybody around him in his ‘social circle’ was selling Balco steroids illegally. and there is simply no way he wasn’t aware of it.
