Commish keeps Rose banned

[huskers1217]

i guess he hates liars too

 

[moxie]

I lol'd when i got the notification. I'm over it with that guy.

 

[Clayton]

I dont get why he wouldn't be banned. Guy spent half of his life lying about a fairly important issue

 

[broncosmitty]

What!?!

No way. I'm stunned.

Who does Rob Manfred think he is? Kennesaw Mountain Landis, er some shit!?!

(Up next on the docket: Eddie Cicotte.)

I like how Manfred handled it, though...

He said he would consider it.

He did.

He upheld the ban.

Looking at everything with a fresh set of eyes does not mean everything will be changed. It just means that it will be looked at again.

Honestly, if I were Pete rose I would hope they never lift my ban... People talk about him still because of the ban... He is considered one of the best players to ever NOT be in the HOF, and one of the biggest scandals... If he made the HOF, yes he would have his hits record, but he would also be forgotten since he is nowhere near a top 50 HOFer...

 

[Mondo Jay]

No surprise here. Pete did it to himself and I feel his punishment acts as a pretty damn good deterrent to anyone else considering betting on baseball.

 

[Mondo Jay]

I wonder how much this one cost?

 

[Erie Warrior]

I'm not surprised by this outcome. I give credit to Manfred to at least looking into it. Hopefully, this issue is put to bed for a long, long time.

consider it over with , and it should be. Manfred will still be commish when Rose is buried and that is that. The Pete Rose reinstatement saga ended for good and will never be looked at again.

 

[Erie Warrior]

I'm good with that.

 

[williewilliejuan]

This was the right decision. Rose was given a lifetime ban and that's exactly what he should get.

 

[scoutyjones2]

Dude admitted he was betting on baseball to this day! Good riddance Pete...you will never see the day you get reinstated. Strike 3 you POS...your out!

Yeah he has a pretty good gig as The Guy Who Should Be In the Hall. The lifetime ban is perfect. Put him in after he dies.

It was a pretty half assed and hypocritical attempt. He apparently didn't even both to meet with Rose at all (according to a Jayson Stark article).

The fact that Rose may still gamble now as a reason to hold him out is nonsense, especially when you're supporting what should be considered clearly illegal gambling (aka it should treated like online poker) in Draft Kings and Fan Dual.

I don't care if they still ban him from working for teams. That's fine. But to not put him in the Hall of Fame, which is first and foremost a museum of the history of the game, is ridiculous.

How could just ban him from teams? That would mean he is on the ineligible list and therefore would automatically be banned from the HOF. It wouldn't be any different than it is now.

He could just say he's eligible for the HOF and not allowed to be employed by MLB teams.

I just don't see the Hall of Fame Committee putting him on the ballot if that were the case.

that's fine. That's their twisted perogative. But they should be given the chance to.
