No question that gambling is a bigger no-no than steroids. And for good reason.
I don't care if Pete is ever allowed to attend a game as a paying fan.
But when you go to Cooperstown and look for the player with the most hits, you either find him there or you ask for your money back.
Pete Rose is a shady guy. He's a lying douche. But his play on the field never wavered. I don't even care if he gambled while playing. He never took a play off in his life. It's what made him the best singles hitter for so long.

200 hits in a season is a big deal.
Only 2 players accomplished it last season.
None the year before.
And the four who did it in 2017 aren't the same who did it last year.

Consider accomplishing it 20 years in a row.

Do that and you'll still be 256 shy of Pete Rose.


Not in the hall?
Then the hall is a joke.

It is a travesty Pete is not in the hall. Being there is about what you accomplished in your career. Tail summed it up nicely.

verily, The End Is Coming

Just had to inject that one, huh???
Your retort is of questionable substance and should be banned!

Drafter started a put Peter in movement but it was misinterpreted.
