Just because he was found not guilty of the charges against him does not mean he did not kill those people… anyone with half a brain knows he killed them.. and the only reason he was found not guilty was because Marcia Clark and Chris Darden went for gold with the charges. They also were absolutely dreadful at jury selection and Marcia Clark might be the most disillusioned prosecution lawyer I have ever seen in my life with how she expected African American jury members to come to a guilty verdict directly following the Rodney king incident.

Many say Michael Jordan was allegedly betting on basketball in the 90's. During his first retirement press conference he stated, "Five years down the road, if the urge comes back, if the Bulls will have me, if David Stern lets me back in the league, I may come back." Why would he say if David Stern will have him back? It sounds like he was forced out, and to save face he retired quietly. He was under investigation for gambling prior to his retirement. In fact, the day he retired the investigation stopped. Some give that as a reason he left basketball the first time. If Michael Jordan had bet on basketball like Pete Rose bet on baseball, than there is no reason Pete Rose is not in the hall of fame today...

Joe Jackson, who did take money, but if you look at his stats, he certainly didn't seem to throw the world series, also was thrown out.

I agree with Smith. The simple fact is that Rose did not do anything to affect the results of a single game in an unethical manner. Everyone who used performance-enhancing drugs did exactly that. Rose did not cheat, the others all did. That the others should be forgiven and he should not be is a moral travesty. This is not Black Sox because Rose never bet against his own team. The argument was made that Rose should be penalized because he affected how bookies calculated odds? I’m sorry, but it was not Rose’s responsibility to uphold the ethics of oddsmakers, and that that should outweigh upholding the ethics of the game itself is beyond asinine.

As a player , what he did as a player. He made Money for baseball in working 25 years 61-86..minor league to the major league. . Getting his team to championships. The guy on the right is a hypocrite in that betting has , is tolerated . There is professional betting . People involved in sports and broadcasting are making money than and today and tomorrow.

Lifelong Reds fan. I remember when Pete came up and replaced Don Blasingame in 1963 and followed his entire career. I loved him as a ballplayer. But he broke the one rule in baseball that can't be broken. Gambling very nearly destroyed the game a century ago. No rule in sports is more clear than the rule against gambling. I personally feel the same way about the cheaters who've been juiced. You don't deserve a second chance when your 'mistake' jeopardizes the credibility of the entire sport/business. I know I'm in a minority among Reds fans, but that's the way it is.

get the fuck over it. He was bored as a manager so he put some money on it. He never bet on them to lose. Sitting in that dugout when you were a player for 26 years is boring as fuck. He was a winner his whole life. he was just looking for a little competitive excitement. What he did never effected the outcome of a game. The entire steroid generation effected baseball history. Stop being dumb and brainwashed its fucking sickening how stupid you sound

I want the steroid boys out of baseball too. As for the rest of your juvenile comments, you're talking out your ass. You don't know if what he did affected the outcome of any game. And boredom is no excuse for violating the cardinal rule of baseball repeatedly.

That was nearly 30 years ago. let go ,forgive, and forget. Pete Rose BELONGS in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and you KNOW it.
@buckfan19697 жыл бұрын
If Rose belongs in the HOF, so does Joe Jackson. It's been a century since Jackson helped throw the 1919 World Series and he was a much better player than Rose. After that, where do you draw the line?

Pete is the literal undisputed GOAT in baseball by the numbers. On the field, he has more value than Barry Bonds, Sosa, Ken Griffey JR (who is top 3 all time), even more value on the field than Bryce Harper and Mike Trout at this moment, can hit the ball better than any player I just listed left and right handed, PLAYED AS A PLAYER/MANAGER, and has a host of all time records (Ichiro hit 2000 hits in minor league china ball where 80% of players couldn't lace petes cleats), 0 roids, 0 PED's, all organic, Charlie Hustle us the GOAT of all baseball.

I don't know. He lied about betting for 15 years, finally "comes clean" but said he never bet against his own team. Who knows?And his bats were corked. That's like PED's for singles hitters.

Astros cheated. Won the world series and are allowed to keep it and every player is still allowed to play. Pete didn't cheat as a player, and can't get into the hall. Absolutely a joke. The man bet on his team to win.

Let's think for a moment for kids, today and tomorrow, who never saw him play, but see his stats. All time hit leader, 2nd in doubles, I know he's high in triples, too. Played all outfield positions and infield, except short. Most 200 hit seasons. 3 time world series champion. You think they're not gonna wonder why this man is NOT in the HOF? And they either look up the reason or an elder family member, friend or co worker tells them. Just curious about their reaction or thoughts.

He's been in the Hall of Fame since his retirement from playing...haters and those that are jealous can't keep him out
@sweetmapleleafs Жыл бұрын
His biggest mistake is when he came back to the Reds as a player manager. The moment he bet in a position of power, he also did it as a player because his contract stated his role be 2 positions, an active player & manager. If Rose had just retired as an active player, he doesnt break Ty Cobb's record, but he'd definitely be forgiven for his betting days as manager. But his case today was laid to rest when Lou Piniella took over for him the season after his ban & went wire to wire & won a WS championship in 1990. That was a total indictment on Pete Rose: what did he do wrong with that team that Lou got so right? Keep out!
@ethanweeter2732 Жыл бұрын
Yes, but Pete also built most of the core of that team along with the GM. But Lou also had to manage egos and injuries too.

I don't think it's relevant if Rose says he gambled, but never against the Reds. For years he maintained that he never gambled period, but eventually admitted to that. It looks like a slippery slope. Upholding the ban serves an important purpose. If they don't uphold the ban and eventually let him in, that sends a message to current players that they can do the same, be reprimanded for a period of time, but it'll ultimately amount to a slap on the wrist and no lasting punishment is worth worrying about.
