Rose is such a piece of crap. Wonderful player, pathetic individual. Fourteen years ago he should of thrown himself at the public's mercy and begged for forgiveness. Now that he has a book to sell and the fact that after December 2005 he can no longer be considered for the Hall, he decides to come clean. I hope he never gets in.

Simpson was already in the Football HOF before he started his tour of golf courses searching for the killer of his wife.
Rose knew the rules, he shouldn't be allowed in the HOF. Once he serves his lifetime ban, let him in posthumously.
This is why sports suck. You can choke your coach, kill your wife, do drugs, have your girlfriend burn your house down, dress in drag, rape a woman and, basically, act about as poorly as humans are capable of acting. But BY GOD! you better not gamble! And God help you if you do a touchdown dance!

I heard a comment on the radio this morning that I have to agree with... If Bill Clinton can cheat on his wife and lie about it and still be president then Pete Rose should be allowed to be in the HOF. I'd of said no before hearing that but now I'm not so sure. I'm still on the fence.

Perspective...
...the Baseball Hall of Fame is full of racists, racist owners, good people who were not allowed in but then put in because of rule or eligibility changes, bad people who were not allowed in but then put in because of rule or eligibility changes and all sorts of folks from nice guy Cal Ripken (as soon as he is eligible) to mean guy Ty Cobb.
It is impossible to leave the greatest hitter, in terms of total hits, out of the Hall. Sooner or later.
It is very possible to leave him out of the game.
This is my position and, coincidently, Cal Ripkens position.
Apparently, what Rose wants is to manage again.
I think that that would be the worse thing baseball could do, let him back in the game.
He'll be behind a bench within three years.

Look, for fourteen years he said he didn't bet on baseball.
Now when he's got a book to sell he says: welllllllll, I really did but I'm not gonna say I'm sorry. AND I didn't bet against my own team.
We're supposed to believe him NOW?
Picture this........
He's managing and he checks the Vegas line one day and sees that the Reds are playing the Padres in SD and the line says they should win by 4 runs. He knows that he will win the game but thinks the line is too high so he drops 10 large on the Padres ""just to beat the spread" so he really isn't betting against his team(yeah right).
It's the bottom of the ninth and the Reds are up 5-0. He says: I can't lose 10 large, so he says to his people we're can't lose this game so let's bring in the AA kid we just brought up and warm up the closer just in case. The AA kid gives up two runs, the closer comes in and he gets credit for "getting the kid some work" and the closer gets a save and he wins his 10 large.
Does this piece of SHIrT belong in the HOF.
I don't FARGIN think so!!!

I'm not excusing his betting on baseball, or his shameful half-assed "confession", which in many ways was even worse. While Vrai is right that society coddles pro athletes to the point of infantilism, they still must be held accountable for their actions.
Still, I'm with Larry on this one--the Hall of Fame is about on-field performance. If an ambulatory piece of offal like Ty Cobb can be in the Hall of Fame, than so can Rose. I don't see being in the Hall of Fame as "being in the game."
Does the ban prevent Rose from attend official MLB functions? If not, I would let him attend, but take the Hester Prynne approach and force him to wear a scarlet BoB (Bet on Baseball)
The fact remains that the HOF is for your baseball playing, not your morals and ethics. Rose should definitely be in the HOF.
As far as managing a team or something - who cares? 99.9% of professional athletes are criminals in some form. Why persecute Rose?

I like that...
...can I use it?
99% are NOT criminals. There are mobs of guys like Cal and Darrel Green who always knew the world was bigger than them, that they were just ballplayers.

I think part of it is all the praise and attention that they get from an early age. They think the world revolves around them.
Not sports, but Joan Rivers tells this story about Freddie Prinze Sr., who shot himself 27 years ago: Rivers saw the 18-year-old Prinze in the NBC studios with four women washing his hair. She told him to go back to college, and he didn't know what she was talking about. She said that you can't give an 18-year-old four women to wash his hair and tell him "You're a genius." Something's going to happen.
