@osu22221 good one!👍

His new audio book is pretty good.

@I'm an idiot and... Better to bet, than to cheat on the field. Pete didn't need to know what was coming to get more hits than anyone who ever played the game. Much more respect for Rose, than for Altuve and his loser teammates.

So could Pete Rose

i BET you could 😂

I hope Cheat Rose gets 'rona

😂 I’ve notice the trend with any odd subject

True but with expansion, we have about 3-4 AAA teams in the MLB. Look at Carltons complete game average per year. No one comes close

I don't think it's really rose tinted glasses at all. I'm not even sure why this would be a controversial statement. Of course pitchers today could pitch in any time period. They have more high tech training and gear than players in the past every had. Even a low grade pitcher today could probably go back and smoke the batters in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, etc... Imagine a pitcher today.... years of training as a teenager, college play, getting to the MLB and having a dozen specialist coaches tweaking their mechanics, 30 infrared cameras filming their every delivery second to breakdown and analyze, custom cleats tailored by Nike to within one thousandth of an inch of their foot shape, hot tubs and ice tubs to soak in every night, high priced massage therapists to work their shoulder and arm every single day, vitamins and supplements up the a/ss, peds or otherwise, which you know plenty of pitchers are on... Now, send em back to the 1920s to pitch to Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Rogers Hornsby, Joe Sewell, Tris Speaker, etc... Guys who had a hunk of wood some amateur yanked out of a tree to hit with, shoes that are probably equivalent in comfort to someone wearing tap dancing shoes all day now, guys who all probably practiced an hour or two a day before each game and likely played no ball during a day off, and then went back to a normal job in the off season. LOL! Of course, pitchers now days could pitch to them and probably do an incredible job at it. Kind of an apples to oranges comparison. I can't believe anyone would make the argument a pitcher now days couldn't pitch in any era. Imagine saying a 2020 hockey player couldn't hang with a hockey team in the 1920s. LOL!

Poorly Playing Retro problem is, today’s pitcher would go 6 innings before being yanked. In about 20 years the 300 win games milestone will be 200 to get into the HOF

Why? "Rule 21 Misconduct, (d) Betting on Ball Games, Any player, umpire, or club, or league official, or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform shall be declared permanently ineligible."

@@johndeagle4389 Pete Rose should be allowed in the Hall of Fame, as his crime was committed as a manager and not as a player. His ability,stats, baseball knowledge and attitude speak for itself.

@@apexjoe4769 Where does it say in the rules that you are allowed to commit crimes as a manager?Should Rose be allowed to jeopardize the integrity of the game by betting on games he was managing?

The MLB and the HOF are not the same thing. If you going to complain at least know what you are talking about.

Cheat Rose deserves 'rona

𝗖𝗮𝗺 𝗫 𝗖𝗮𝗺 The HoF doesn’t want Pete in because he played baseball the way baseball should be played and tells things the way they are. Those running the HoF now don’t want anyone getting their “po wiwill feewings” hurt.

Adrian Lamb DJ LOCKS nope he is not ELIGIBLE

He gets in just for that comment It's bullshit he's not in Fuck Giamatti, Fuck Selig Fuck the committee

Nah he put the integrity of the entire sport in the balance.

@@joshlewis575 nah..no he didn't

He was in a position to affect the outcome of games he wagered on. That's definitely damaging the integrity of the game as a whole

Like he gives a shit. Got to play baseball and make millions his whole life. He’s had his dick sucked enough.

Cheat Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Failure

PETE ROSE...H.O.F.

@@blacktimhoward4322 There is no evidence he cheated. The evidence is that he bet on his own team.

I couldn't agree more bro. I have no idea what he was smoking when he said that.

@@bdub78dub90 he's saying players have a different mentality nowadays. The things that were routinely done back then are looked as weak now. Choking up on the bat these days might make you appear like a pussy. Protecting players from injuries i.e. breaking up a double play or a collision at home plate has taken the physicality aspect out. It's all about how much 💰 your going to make and for how many years you can make it. Sad state it's in these days.

i think hes trying to say that players today feel like doing dirty work like that is beneath them. but i mean if i have a 500mil contract i'm not barreling into the catcher and i guarantee my bosses dont want me barreling into the catcher either

He's talking about working hard and grinding being seen as weak today....but totally agree with your comment about trucking a catcher ....and in, an essentially pointless, all star game nonetheless 😂

Pedro esta muy macho!

STOP going to All of the games until he is IN! All fans Owe it to Pete!!! Anyone who thinks he should not be in the HOF is STUPID!

Cheat Rose is in the Cheater's Hall of Fame

yep

MrDeadsurfer Hustle is right! Charlie Hustle. He gave 110%, wanted afraid to ruin a uniform and get a few scrapes.

You'd have to combine Rose + Rickey Henderson and even then you'd get a lesser player than Cobb. But Rose had the fire.

@osu22221 Um no, lol. No players "self reported" their stats.

matingly23 Ty Cobb never played against black players. Imagine if he had to deal with Bob Gibson throwing that heater/slider combo. Pete was the man

@@jakenbake9878 oh please the best players are the best players regardless. sure he would have faced a few more pitchers who were better than the white ones there but it wouldn't have made that big of a difference. when black players were let in did the stats of white players drop drastically?

😂😂😂 Cheat Rose was good for baseball 😂😂😂 go to bed kid

@@blacktimhoward4322 imho. Later, KID.

Yes indeed. He deserves to be in the hall before he dies. Hes getting up there.

They can let him in the Rock and Roll HOF. Hell they will let anybody in that thing!

Cheat Rose is in the hall of losers

Cheat Rose is the ultimate competitor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 sure buddy

He was responsible for his own raw deal

define raw deal

Cheat Rose got less punishment than he deserved

He may have hated to lose but does that mean he hated to lose a ballgame or lose a bet? If he could lose a game but win $10,000 on that game he would take the $10,000; that is the life of a gambler because to them winning means money, which is everything to them because then they can continue to gamble.

I dont know.... A game in september that doesnt mean anything...Especially, if the bookies are leaning on ya and you owe them money .....I hope he didnt

There’s never been a shred of evidence that he bet against his team.

Youre possibly right, but the betting slips say you're wrong. I wish it wasn't the case, but I've seen them.

JJD did I say he didn’t bet on games, dick face? I addressed the statement that was made about him throwing games.... Fact

Elway's long lost twin.

I cant unsee this 😂

Quite large I would say

@@TrevorEMayo or Gary Busey

Cheat Rose belongs in the hall of losers

Literally the only rational comment on this video and it has two likes

Dude is a scumbag but people love to suck him off. But he'll never be a HOF, no matter how much they whine.

Pete was the kind of player you hated if he was on the other team & the kind you loved if he was your teammate.

Cheat Rose belongs in the hall of losers

What changes do you think need to be made?

Too bad bookies were setting odds based off of that knowledge based on how Pete would bet.

Cheat Rose belongs in the hall of losers

The only ones in today's game that fit that description....Kershaw and Baumgarner.....

verlander?

Adam Ottavino 😂😂

@@willdrucker4291 Bumgarner went to my school.

His own fault he wasn't.

You don't "pay a price" for cheating. Cheat Rose will never make the HOF

Nolan Monahan Shit for $16.50 a tall can.. *Better win the fkn game* !

How are those things not macho?

Robert Mastroianni because the big macho power hitters who stand in the box watching their home runs for 3 minutes until they start their trot are above getting dirt on their uniforms snd sacrificing themselves for the team, looking like youre actually trying and working is undignified to them

I would associate macho with playing hard and tough. To me, breaking up a double play would be macho. But to each their own.

Robert Mastroianni i think "cool" was the term he was looking for actually

Cool sounds better. So why the name Steve McQueen? Real name or a fan of the actor?

A few smart players choke up. It also sends a message to the pitcher when he sees the bater choke up...

James M agree a million percent

James M I agree, but you have to look at the whole history of the game. Baseball almost got destroyed by a gambling scandal 50 years earlier. They hired a judge as a commissioner and put all these rules in place to build confidence in the fan that it would never happen again. Rose has a few things going against him that are out of his control. 1- the commissioner that knows all the evidence and made the decision against Rose died a month after he got banned. Selig never wanted to reverse the dead man's ruling. 2- Rose lied excessively for 10 plus years before admitting what he did. It's not that I don't blame him, and I know he's a prideful person, but he lost a lot of credibility not admitting earlier instead of waiting till it became clear he wasn't going to be reinstated anytime soon.

Nice respectful Reply grigsolve, Don't see that often on comment pages, I'm disappointed in Pete Rose because it is fascinating and mesmerizing to hear him talk of intricate baseball strategy and apparently like most addicts the addiction is stronger than breathing ,sleeping and eating. in any event nice to have by someone with your respectful thoughtful insight

Yup. Once you threaten the MLB's money you're gone

grigsolve You really capture it. The fact of gambling - even if on your own team -- and the decade long spit in your face arrogant lies did him in...He really did imo deserve to be punished most severely....but maybe now, so long ago, it could be revisited while he is alive still?

The AL's like a beer league, waiting for the home runs.
