    Pete Rose asks for reinstatement again

    Pete Rose again asked Major League Baseball to end his lifetime ban, saying the penalty is unfair compared with discipline for steroids use and electronic sign stealing.

    Rose agreed to the lifetime ban in August 1989 after an investigation for MLB .

    Rose also referenced Manfred’s decision on Jan. 13 to suspend Houston Manager AJ Hinch and GM Jeff Luhnow for one season for their role in the Astros’ use of electronics to steal catchers’ signs in 2017 and 2018 but to not discipline players.

    Fuk the selfish prick.

    Guy thinks it's about him when there's a much bigger picture.

    A baseball manager betting on games.

    Fuk him.

    He should be in the Hall of Fame...and that's how it should remain...he should be in, but he isn't because he was banned, legitimately, from baseball.

    Put Rose back in it. If guys that used Roids are getting HOF ballots, Rose shouldn't be banned from MLB or the HOF.

    It’s not the Hall of Fukking Morality, it’s the Hall of Fame.

    Guys that did a lot worse are already in or have had their chance to get in

    Exactly.

    It was very clear. If u bet on games u are out.

    If u bet against your team it changes the way u manage.

    If u bet on your team it changes the way u manage.

    This is 1000% obvious and true.

    Pete stay out. Idiot.

    who cares?

    how many people actually go to the hall of fame in person anymore?

    you want to celebrate Pete Roses's career? go look at youtube clips, and read his baseball reference #'s, make a post about his exploits on some philly or reds baseball forums

    its not like we don't know how good he was without a damn plaque or bust

    fukk pete rose. He is a scumbag. If i ever make it to a bash...I can tell you about the many wrongs this p.o.s. did. There is a reason johnny bench has nothing to do with him. There is a reason that fawn has nothing to do with him. Also there is a reason his siblings didn't attend his wedding.


    I will tell you a true story about him. His porsche was being worked on in cheviot,ohio. He walks into a bar and says give everyone a drink. He gets ready to leave without paying for the drink. gunny (the guy that owned the bar) says hey you didn't pay for that round. Pete says you don't expect me to pay for it. He proceeds to write a check and tells the guy to NOT cash the check because his autograph because it will be worth more. I have at least 5 other story about this p.o.s.

    MLB sends MGM the lineups exclusively for gambling purposes, and profits from it.

    HYPOCRISY

    Guy should be on the ballot, let the committee decide.

    The problem with pete is he was in management when this happened. He was offered 4 times to settle up but he thought he was bigger than the situation. The allegedly 275,000 cost him millions. Hell his lawyer reuben katz cost him more than that.

    MLB has a for profit relationship with gambling now.

    Let the committee decide Pete's fate, gambling, like pot smoking, has become mainstream.

    Burleigh Grimes is in the HOF for throwing spitballs. They're illegal now. Darryl Strawberry isn't banned from anything but he's a cokehead....Bonds and Clemens are on the ballots....

    If they won't even ban players/management from baseball for the cheating scandals that have happened recently, then they need to put Pete back in. What he did didn't affect the outcome of a World Series.

    Exactly! Rose was a drug trafficker. All the people he hung out with at that time went to jail for dealing drugs. Sounds better to not be in the HOF for betting on your own team than being a drug dealer as manager of the Reds.

    Well 1- Pete might be right about the autographs value vs the drink value

    2- very few "celebrity" personalities ever pay for anything because they are taught their presence in an establishment is worth the tab

    Hell, once in MPLS at Mannys I saw Bud Grant and Sid Hartman sit w the check between them for 2.5 hours waiting for the other to pick it up. Funniest thing I ever saw- 2 cheap ass 85 year old men who thought their shit didn't stink playing a game of chicken w the tab lol

    You think JLo pays for meals in Miami? Manning in NYC? Elway in Den or Ortiz in Boston?

    No, they don't.

    It's just how it is. Cekebs and athletes probably get more in comped food and drink then most families earn income wise per year.
