Gotta laugh at then incandescent idiocy of MLB in denying Rose the recognition he deserves.

In then record books at this time are names like Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds, both of whom were juiced up on massive amounts of steroids and HGH. Rose Was banned for betting on the games, but was never accused of nor I believe would he bet against his own team. He was simply to much the competitor to ever do that.

This guy belongs in the Hall of Fame like YESTERDAY and he ought to also get an apology in the light of the double standard which has been applied to him.

I lived in Cincinnati during the late ‘70’s and early 80’s and knew people who had formerly worked for the Reds. They offered several times to introduce me to Pete but I turned them down every time because by that time I'd heard about what an a$$ he was. A terrific ball player but a loser as a human being.

However, I was a Reds fan before I moved to Cincy and remain so today.

I say put Pete in the HOF.
