Pete Rose Still Banned .. Unreal

[jjgold]

Jay

Yes

He owed bookies

[pet2150]

Pete will never be in the HOF. He bet on baseball and that's a no/no. At leased he has a hot wife.

How many guys with 10,000 plate appearances have a better average than .303?

[jjgold]

303??


That's a a unreal stat with all those plate appearances

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

How many guys with 10,000 plate appearances have a better average than .303?

Redacted.

List missing a ton of guys.

[Kermit]

How many guys with 10,000 plate appearances have a better average than .303?

Not many. 4 recent players I can think of are Wade Boggs, Ichiro, Jeter, and Tony Gwynn.

[Kermit]

11 Guys Kraken.

Rose
Tris Speaker
Cap Anson
George Brett
Honus Wagner
Paul Molitor
Willie Mays
Stan Musial
Jeter
Ty Cobb
Hank Aaron

Jeter, Molitor and Brett only in recent memory.

Roberto Clemete also did

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Roberto Clemete also did

Oh wait yeah you are right.

My list is way off.

Way more people had 10,000+ plate appearances.

I am too lazy to do that much work.

[The Giant]

He's a HOF caliber player but he really is the most overrated player ever. Some talk about him like he was in the same class as Williams, Mays, Aaron etc. And he's not really close. He was a good singles hitter who lasted forever and didn't get hurt.

I agree he's not in that caliber, but his resume is pretty impressive.

17 time All-Star.

One MVP.

Top 10 in the MVP award 10 different times.

[jjgold]

Pete Gamble

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Can anyone figure out how much he lost here?

I can't tell if I am reading it right.

Nasher.....if you eliminate the second half of your argument.....
It sounds like you are describing yourself.
Eliminate the MLB stats & we are talking about you!
A guy who should not have anything in his professional career discredited because he bets on sports.
You aren't prepared to say today "I promise not to gamble anymore.". Nor should you have to.
Whether you bet on sports, currently bet on sports or intend to continue to bet on sports, it shouldn't have anything to do with your professional accomplishments.

All this bullshit doesn't matter, the bottom line is .....where is the compassion? When do you just show some compassion & forgiveness & let the man die happy?

Funny thing is I was trying to emphasize the fact his stats are misleading and down playing the gambling issue.
Just getting around to this, I'm swamped at work trying to close out the books on 2015.

Point is, Rose was a compiler.

Pete was one of the best players ever, period! Does he belong in the HOF? Hell no! He bet on the game while he was a manager and you damn well know he bet while he was a player. Did he fix games? Who knows? He messed up, plain and simple.

[CappinTerp]

I think he should be in!! What about the guys that were " juicing " ? Should Bonds be in?

[Andy117]

ichiro didn't face MLB pitching those 1st few years.
Also the batters faced tougher pitching back when Pete played

You are entitled to your opinion but, I cannot think of one single baseball player not babe not Mickey not Lou not Ted, that I would choose to have on my team before Charlie hustle

You're crazy. He was a singles hitter with minimal power or speed. These guys are all better than him:

Cobb
Aaron
Musial
Wagner
Mays
Mantle
DiMaggio
Ruth
Gehrig
Rodriguez
Bonds
Griffey Jr
Gwynn
Henderson
Ichiro
Hornsby
Robinson
Pujols
Foxx
Jeter

That doesn't even include pitchers

[Jayvegas420]

I was a little offended when you compared to Redd Foxx.
Pujols, really?
