Pete Rose RIP

[ByeShea]

I've always been impressed by how Rose was the last player-manager in the MLB. For my money, he should be in the HOF for that alone. But to be honest, just as I never really cared that he gambled I never lost any sleep that he wasn't in the HOF. I just think the hall looks silly pretending that Pete Rose never existed - he was an amazing player and personality, my earliest memory of him was my dad telling me about his hitting streak (and what a hitting streak was) - we followed it together for a couple of weeks before it ended. 44 games. RIP, Pete.

how many in here even saw him play during his prime?

i got to see him play a lot in the early 80's as i started tee ball when i was 4 and baseball was a big part of my life back then.

seeing hit number 4192 was a pretty amazing thing to see when i was about 10 years old or so 1985 or 1986 i cannot recall the year.

Damn RIP

They will probably finally put him in the HOF now

You know they will finally put him in now.

Watch his show on MAX: Charlie Hustle & The Matter of Pete Rose. He’s definitely a character.

I was too young to see him in person but my little league team was the Reds and I loved Barry Larkin so we knew all about the legend of Pete Rose. He really effed it up, should have came clean and moved on sooner.

all of you are wrong, bro. sorry.

pete was betting on his team daily. Daily. DAILY.

baseball is a 162 game season.

managing a team is about knowing when to pull your ace pitcher when he is getting shelled, to preserve his arm for the season.

even if you are betting ON your own team, you are messing with the integrity of the game and doing a disservice to everyone involved.

if you are more concerned about winning Today's Game more than anything else, you are very apt to make decisions that will hurt your team in the long run of a 162 game season.

the rule is the rule for a reason.

no betting.

period.

another example.

college basketball coach bets on his team -10 points and he is up by 14 with 90 seconds to go.

he is nervous about not covering he keeps his star player in the game when under Normal Circumstances without the wager, he would take him out.

in those 90 seconds the bball player tears his ACL or rolls his ankle because he stayed in the game and was told to score the ball (coach wanted to protect the ATS bet).

do you catch my drift?

the object is to win the game, and in baseball more than any other sport, you have to preserve your pitchers and catchers and know when to fold them because it is a marathon.

"i bet on baseball and i was wrong"

- pete rose in 2004 a full 15 years after he was caught red-handed.

RIP

amazing player. incredible player.

broke the rules now pay the price, even in death.

I don’t know his situation. If he was betting play money, didn’t really care if he won the bet over protecting his players safety, then I don’t have a problem. Now if he was mortgaging his house, car, and had his life savings on a game and burnt pitchers out because he was on tilt than that’s a different story. I saw his coached teams back in the day and NOT ONCE did I think he was coaching unusual or was purposely hurting his team. Maybe you have some stats to show he was on tilt? I didn’t see it.
