RIP Charlie Hustle. Should've been forgiven years ago and admitted to HOF during his lifetime. Getting kicked out of the sport should've been penalty enough.

I've been saying for years that anyone good enough to be in the HOF but got caught cheating should never get into Cooperstown. But recently I've changed my mind.

The true history of the game can't be told without cheaters like Charlie Hustle, the Steroid in the Bay (Bonds) and Roger the Roider (Clemens) just to name three. Time for a **cheaters wing** of the HOF.

I don’t see how the word cheater can be applied to Pete Rose.

Didn't cheat as a player. He's not going in as a HOF manager lol.

I should have been a little more specific. Obviously cheating has always been part of the game.

But I was talking about the illegal assault on the record books during the Steroid Era. My bad for not mentioning that.

That doesn't apply to Pete at all though. He's only guilty of gambling while he was managing. Keeping him out as a player is throwing out the baby with the bath water.

But he was managing and betting at the same time. That's a bad combo.

Yeah only way he cheated as a manager is if he bet his team to lose and tanked. No one ever accused him of that.

Adams being shopped.

Fuck my life.
Not a bad thing. They have some great pieces but they need a rebuild. Probably in a better place than Cleveland. The Browns pushed so many contracts down the road it wont be till 27 or 28 if they want to go the rebuild route

I think Telesco is doing a solid job so far.

They really like Tre Tucker and also have Meyers plus Bowers......think they are also going to shop Mayer since we now have Bowers.

Add some picks for them I guess.

Saw something pretty cool.

An adult Blue Jay fan caught a ball off an Aaron Judge homer. He gave it to a 9yo boy who was a huge Yankees fan. A day later both of them met Judge.....

That's pretty awesome.
