badndn Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 That's good stuff. Way past time for this guy to get in. If you were lucky enough to see him play you'd understand. His passion for the game was relentless. Think Biggio before his time with a little more attitude. He had a little gambling problem and bet on his team to win. HIS TEAM. the stuffy shirts of baseball that have refused to let the game progress and pretty much killed the MLB are the same turds that are still blocking one of the toughest, hard nosed, players to ever wear a uni from being recognized by his generation of fans. Maybe the last generation of "Fans". Quote

Maybe the last generation of "Fans". I despised him as a fan when he played for the Phillies. He would make that 3rd out at 1B and run across the mound and spike the baseball. Hated that! He was an outstanding player. No contest. That should not be taken away from him, He deserves to be in the HOF. Quote
jv_coach Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 I do not care how good he was as a player. He bet on games he played and coached in and for that he deserves to spend the rest of baseball in purgatory. Quote

Agree with you, Pete has no place in HOF. jv_coach 1 Quote

You guys really think he is the only HOF eligible player or even HOFer that bet on baseball games???? Get of the high horse before ya fall of and bump ur head again. Quote
HurricaneCal Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 At least he bet on his teams to win! Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
ST413 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 Pete deserves to be in the hall based on his play. if his gambling was on his team to win, there should really not be a problem with it. That is more of a confidence thing in my eyes. If he bet on other teams with inside info or his team to lose where games could have been thrown then it is a different issue. Look how many players in the hall have supposedly used performance enhancers. Even though they may not have been illegal, they still skewed performances. Pete knows he made a mistake and has tried to make amends for it, he has paid for it many times over. Quote

jv_coach Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 he was betting the spread and that is how he one can bet to win and still cause your team to lose. Quote

HurricaneCal Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 In his own words I bet on my team to win every night, so even when they were favorite he gave up runs if he were betting the spread. Quote

Peppermint Patty Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Posted April 21, 2015 Ok. So he does not make it into the HOF as a coach since he bet on baseball as a coach. Agreed? As a player, he is one of the top 10 all time greats. Let him in! Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

TxHoops Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 There is no spread in baseball. Based on money lines. However, there is a run line which is also essentially a money line, just makes each team a 1.5 run favorite or dog. If Pete Rose isn't going to be allowed in the Hall, there are a LOT of current members who should be removed. The player Pete passed for all time hits leader makes Pete look like a choir boy. Cobb was a despicable human being. But to me, the HOF is about honoring the greatest players to have played the game. And Pete not only fits that category, he also played the game the way we all could admire. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
