The Pete Rose Thread

[Johnny Cupcakes]

I didn't get the chance to see Pete Rose play in person. He was banned from baseball before I could speak. I have, however, seen videos, stats, and heard enough eyewitness testimony to know that he is one of the all-time baseball greats. Top 10 in the history of the game. It's insane that a guy like that is not in the hall of fame for his accomplishments. BUT.....he broke the rules. If you commit the crime, you must suffer the consequences of your actions. If betting on baseball was an offense that could get you banned, yet he still bet on baseball, then he doesn't deserve to be in the hall of fame....even if he's one of the best to ever put on a uniform.

I'm from Cincinnati though....so I have to side with him. Put Pete in the hall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
