    Pete Rose Statue Unveiled


    Pete Rose said you never get over not getting in Cooperstown, but getting in the Reds HOF and jersey retirement is enough for him.

          Such a stupid rule. He deserves to be in HOF for sure.

            As someone who was blessed to meet pete many times. Played on all star teams for his brother dave. He deserves in the hall of fame the day he dies. There was a reason he had to go many states over to gamble. He was a dead beat. He came into a bar on the west side. He was getting his car serviced. He said buy everyone a round. The guy that owned the bar was named gunderson and everyone called him gunny. Gunny told him the price and he said you don't expect me to pay for it. gunny said yeah so he gets a check and gives it to gunny and said to not cash it because it would be worth more with his auto than would be if he cashed it. I also played flag football against him. Whenever he goes into cinti he eats at price hill chili. There are a lot of people loyal to pete in cincy but he had a bunch of detractors. That was what was great about growing up in the 70's in cinti. It was a small town for a big city

                          Baseball is so behind the times. You know how they say the game has passed him by well the public has passed by baseball

                                            We'll that's an alternative fact.

                                            What about Don Sutton & Ron Santo & Ferguson Jenkins & Willie McCovey & TED WILLIAMS

                                            ...AND TY COBB?

                                              good point. Never even thought of that.

                                              Not being in the HOF doesn't diminish how great of a player he was. The best ever IMO.

                                                        First off, I didn't say anything about the Hall of Fame. My simple comment was who was better. Secondly, isn't Ted Williams in the Hall of Fame?

                                                          What about Don Sutton & Ron Santo & Ferguson Jenkins & Willie McCovey & TED WILLIAMS

                                                          ...AND TY COBB?
                                                          Yeah, I have no clue what in the Hell that guy was talking about. Lots of guys in the Hall of Fame that never won a championship.
