Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe HOF eligible

[msgkings322]

So far there are currently 2 major pro sports franchises based in La$ Vega$ (NFL- Raider$, and the NHL-Golden Knight$)...and soon to be 1 more (the MLB-A'$).... also probably in the near future an NBA expansion or relocated team.

Hard hitting reporting there

 

[DJ Fieri]

Can't wait for the HOF induction brought to you by DraftKings.

 

[GoldRusher]

Place is a fraud.

Some entrepreneur should open a real HOF far away from that dump in NY and run it like they have some common sense.

 

[blastfromthepast]

Good, they always should’ve been eligible for the Hall of Fame, it’s stupid that they were banned in the first place.

Rose bet on baseball and then "likely" betted on games he managed in per John Dowd.

How is that grounds for a permanet ban? He could have controled aspects of the game as a result of his betting.

 

[black francis]

So basically every player in the entire “steroid era”?

What about Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz, they should be in that wing too for how the umpires gifted them wins

And Ortiz who failed a test

But he was cool to the media so nobody cared he was a "cheater"

Did you hurt yourself moving the goal post all by yourself?

1. Are you outta your mind? Wait don't answer that, I already know you are. Never said every player. Keep reading, let's if you have any reading comprehension skills.

2. Those three pitchers you named for some dumbass reason have nothing to do with players like Bonds, Clemens, Manny Ramirez, Raphael Palermo.

You probably aren't smart enough to know the direct connection between those players and the **steroid era** of the game. Have someone else explain it to you.

Umpires giving them those strikes zones is every bit against the rules at injecting or taking a substance that nearly every player was using.

Conveniently you name the dickheads who used roids but ignore the “nice guys” who are in

 

[wazzu31]

And Ortiz who failed a test

But he was cool to the media so nobody cared he was a "cheater"

Yes, basically all of the nice guy roid users are ok to these people, but if you were a dick to the media then no go.

 

[Cedrique]

I hope he gets in. He had an incredible career and the hall will be a better place if they include his story.

 

[navamind]

I'm fine with him getting in if it means I never have to hear about him for the rest of my life

 

[jon2tanman]

Pete Rose should never make the hall of fame. A sign is posted in every MLB locker room, to not bet on baseball.

I can agree with that, but that rings hollow when MLB has been sponsored by the likes of DraftKings and FanDuel. Was only a matter of time.

And that Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker are in the HOF

 

[Wamu]

It's a comparison based on different principles that had a similar effect on the game. Maybe you aren't smart enough to figure that out.

Your comparison was dumb as hell.

Since you obviously didn't get it yesterday, reading comprehension IS a major issue for you.

Those three pitchers you named have nothing to do with the players I've mentioned that are all guilty of cheating the game during the **steroid era**. And they all have a direct connection to that era.

Okay dummy of those three pitchers you named in a lame attempt to change the subject how many of them had their personal trainer go to prison for them like Bonds did?

You should just stop talking. Because each time you do you just confuse yourself. You can't even stay on topic.

Pete Rose should never make the hall of fame. A sign is posted in every MLB locker room, to not bet on baseball.

sure, but those signs were not there when he played... so the fact that there are signs now should not be a factor...

the point has always been that he broke the rules that were in place at the current time...


IMO He should get in.. And i like Selig's new rule that a lifelong ban can only be applied during someones lifetime...

Rose will never feel the honour of being a HOFer... but fans should always see a deserving players plaque...

 

[Old Sweater]

For his contributions to sports-entertainment, Pete Rose was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame

^^^Good Enough!

 

[Mebert]

And that Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker are in the HOF

They are in Because Dutch Leonard was full of shit. Glad he was able to turn his personal vendetta into millions from a vineyard though.

How dare you! Dutch Leonard pulled my grandfather out of the trench in a chemical attack in WWI!

 

[eaglesnut]

I hope Joe goes in at least a year before Rose does, just to make a point.

I realize that I have been brainwashed with the romanticization of Shoeless Joe in the modern era rather than the seemingly duplicity of his guilt as it was judged 105 years ago. So be it. I'll go with the modern view. And Rose, without question, was a douchebag cheater continuously displaying no modicum of contrition.

Should we rewind the process of finding Rose quilty of gambling? OK, let's:

Interview 1
Interviewer: Hey, Pete, they say you gamble on your team to lose. What do you say?
Rose: I don't gamble.

Meanwhile, evidence surfaces that Rose gambles on sports.

Interview 2
Interviewer: Hey, Pete, undeniable evidence has surfaced that you gamble on sports. What do you say?
Rose: I don't gamble on baseball.

Interview 3
Interviewer: Hey, Pete, undeniable evidence has surfaced that you gamble on baseball. What do you say?
Rose: I never gambled on the Reds.

Interview 4
Interviewer: Hey, Pete, undeniable evidence has surfaced that you gamble on the Reds. What do you say?
Rose: I never gambled on the Reds to lose.

Interview 5
Interviewer: Hey, Pete, undeniable evidence has surfaced that you gamble on the Reds to lose. What do you say?

Guess what comes next.

The hell with Pete Rose. He's ten times worse than anything the roiders ever did. Or sign stealers. Or garbage can drummers. Or throwing illegal pitches. Or using an illegal bat. Fuck him. Fuck Pete Rose. Keep him out of the HOF.

INTERVIEW 6
WHO THE FUCK GOT ALL THOSE HITS?

INTERVIEW 6
WHO THE FUCK GOT ALL THOSE HITS?

The guy who's lifetime batting is 179th all time and his on base percentage is 228th all time. Not impressed.
