I find it amazing that some of the people who think Pete Rose is such a scourge on society are some of the same people who didn't think Wilhelm Von der Schlickmeister should have been impeached for lying UNDER OATH.
oh, wait-that was about his PERSONAL life and none of our business, right?

PUT PETE ROSE *IN* THE HALL OF FAME, RETROACTIVE TO 1991 (five years after he played his final game) OR TAKE TY COBB THE HELL OUT.
Who's TY COBB? Only the most ardent racist to ever have played the game. That's in ADDITION to the way he purposely injured opposing players, fans, umpires, and anybody who dared tell him he was full of s***. That a-hole had an ego bigger than himself.
Then, of course, there's our BELOVED commissioner-SIR BUD SELIG. You want to talk about CHEATING somebody? This guy was a freaking USED CAR SALESMAN, now he's the commissioner of baseball. And how about the WAY he became commissioner? Nobody seems to have a problem with THAT, but everyday I hear people bitching and moaning that George W. Bush is an "illigitamate" president. How about an ILLIGITAMENT BASEBALL COMMISSIONER?

CUT THE CRAP AND PUT PETE ROSE IN THE HALL OF FAME, WHERE HE BELONGS, and if he wants to manage, coach, or even PLAY, LET HIM
Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing HIM be the commissioner.
but what do I know-I'm just an interloping Yankee fan

In the grand scheme of things it won't chnage our lives. So I say who cares. Let him. Don't. Let him. Don't.Let him. Don't.

the integrity of the game i'm still laughing over that one

This report came out yesterday. It's almost comical at this point.

The Boston Herald's Jack Sullivan is reporting former Cincinnati Reds 1B and manager Pete Rose may have defrauded thousands of fans and collectors out of millions of dollars by hawking forged items and bogus championship rings, according to associates. A former sidekick of Rose told the Herald Rose sold two of his World Series rings to pay off gambling debts. He also had copies made which he apparently later sold as the real deal to unsuspecting collectors, said a former official with the jewelery company who made the original rings.

I WOULD THINK IF SOMEONE WAS BUYING PETE ROSES WORLD SERIES RING THEY WOULD HAVE IT APPRAISED TO BE SURE IT WAS THE REAL THING.

that's good rationale

I JUST DONT SEE WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS ON THAT ONE.THERE ARE THOUSAND OF FAKE SPORTS MEMORABILIA ITEMS OUT THERE.MOSTLY BECAUSE SPORTS COLLECTORS ARE EASY TO SCAM.MY POINT WAS I DONT FEEL BAD FOR THEM IF THEY DIDN'T CHECK THE AUTHENTICITY OF THOSE RINGS,ESPECIALLY BUYING THEM FROM SOMEONE AS EVIL AND HATED AS PETE ROSE.

I have an official, only one know in exitence, autographed Joe Jackson baseball card that I personally witnessed him signing. DONT YOU JUST LOVE THOSE EBAY SALES PITCHES ?

OR BUYING SPORTS JUNK

Personally, I dont think he should be in the HOF. And thats a change for me!

I guess what changed my mind is how he has shown once again that, while he might have been one of the greatest to play the game, as a person, he is a low life. Lying, cheating, lying some more.

And the timing of his "announcement"???? Excuse me Mr. Rose, but could we try not to take away from the announcement of this years DESERVING entries???

The only reason he is doing it now is in the faint hope of getting on next years ballot, which I believe is his last chance of being voted in by the writers, cause he knows he doesn't stand a chance of being voted in by the vetrans committee.

Either way, just more proof why baseball is loosing its market share!!
