Gotta agree… In my case you could add drug smuggling, illegal disposal of a dead body, vehicular homicide, larceny, embezzlement, tax evasion, and (gasp) sexual harrasment, and those are just the people I have worked with over the years. Liked the rest of your analysis as well…

Pete Rose is a bum, he fixed his own games when he managed, he may have even done it when he was a player.
Pete Rose should NEVER be allowed into baseball or the Hall of Fame.
The steroid users should also NEVER be allowed in the Hall of Fame and should be removed from the game all together!

The beginning of your rant has absolutely nothing to do with the second part of your rant. No one is saying you can’t “revere” or “appreciate” Pete Rose. You can think anything you’d like of him, just like any other member of baseball based on what they did.
However, there’s a huge difference between the drunks, womanizers, abusers, etc is what they did and what Rose did. They might have broken society’s rules or the legal systems rules, Rose definitely broke baseball’s cardinal rule. He got caught, he’s getting punished, he has to deal with it.

Who really cares if pete rose gambled on baseball. Big whoop. I cant stand pete rose and you can take that charlie hustle and stick it where the sun dont shine. But I do respect the things rose did on the field and thats what the hall of fame is all about. If you were to remove all the womanizering baby kicking drunks from the hall of fame, half the fabled yankees be gone. The guys who showed up drunk, slept on the bench are now revered while a smuck who threw some cash on a game is defiled. Baseballs a stupid game played by overpaid prima donas and is run by an inept clown who cant find his own behind.

Pete who?

Bottom line is still that betting on baseball was the cardinal rule and was posted in every locker room in baseball – it has nothing to do with droids – judge him solely on his own deliberate actions in breaking the ONE rule that everyone knew was forbidden.

Are you serious? Bringing up Rose and Roids just because he knew people who did it? Oh hell, then convict me of adultery and shoplifting. Rose should be in the hall because of what he did on the field. But regardless, he made his own bed and he knew he was breaking the cardinal sin when he gambled so I don’t feel sorry for him if he never gets in. I would put him in.

Who said that, charlie? I actually have no real problem with Rose in the Hall (I don’t want to see him holding a job in Major League Baseball, however). But there are many who want Rose in but who think that the steroids people shouldn’t be in on moral and ethical grounds. In fact, they — and Mike Schmidt — make Rose’s case on precisely the grounds that Rose should be in because the steroids people are far worse.
The point here is that Rose is no saint even if we limit the topic to steroids, and thus such a distinction makes no logical sense.

C’mon. You want only popes in the HOF? Why not remove Ty Cobb because he was a racist?

You find the dirt, Keith. We’ll talk about it (presumably on another blog, however, since this one is dedicated to baseball, in case you haven’t noticed.

Here we go again – think we cannot find so dirt of Ali, MJ, and Tiger?
Oh no – don’t mention Tiger!

Does anyone realize that Pete Rose is actually more famous because they won’t let him in????? They haven’t done anything but make the guy stay in the eye of the media. He’d have been a dinosaur by now that no one really cares about. Instead, we still talk about him 25 years later.

Lettuce, you’re quite right to talk about Rose’s illegal use of amphetamines and casual attitude toward any and all means of breaking the rules.
And Craig, I’m frankly pretty surprised you’re willing to invite the brain-dead Rose apologists back for another round. Good luck.

So much for the steroids, how about we go back to his time when he was using the uppers?
The guy’s no good.

Come on, Craig. You know full well that Jose Canseco invented steroids around 1988. All of this stuff you are talking about is pure fiction.
