Answers:
Daisuke Matsuzaka / Johan Santana ?
Of course. He was a great baseball player, avoiding the fact he had betting habbits. The HOF is for baseball players who are amazing and set records and leave a mark on the game, and that's what Pete Rose did. He deserves to be in there along with all the other big timers.Is there really a better Starting Rotation than Zito, Cain, Lowry, Morris and Russ Ortiz?
as a player yes.How do i get better at hitting?
Not until he is dead. He needs to be made an example of during his lifetime and denied the honor until he is dead.Is the MLB 25 man roster too small? Or just the right amount?
he should be thereDo i just need one sliding pad or two?
Yes, Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame. He was an excellent player. Whatever he did off the field had to do with his character, not his performance on the field. If we looked into what a lot of professional athletes did off the field and judged them on that, then we'd have a lot less players in the Hall of Fame. He didn't murder anyone. He gambled.Any Atlanta braves fans out there? and if so whhat are your fav players?
Pete Rose should not enter the Hall of Fame until after he dies. Even then, it will be a tough call. What he did as a player was just amazing. That can never be taken away from him by anybody...by anybody except the MANAGER Pete Rose.What the manager Pete Rose did stained his ENTIRE career in baseball. So what if he didn't bet on baseball when he was playing, PETE ROSE still bet on baseball while he was involved in the day-to-day operations of the game.
I used to be one of the people that thought Pete Rose should be allowed into the Hall of Fame. I have since changed my mind.
If he is allowed into the hall there should be direct mention of what he did to stain the game.
Who knows, maybe there should be a rotating exhibit that shows those who have tarnished the game, and use that exhibt to remind players why they need to stay in the rules and stay clean.
I personally think the exhibit idea is a pretty darned good one. Cooperstown, you know how to get ahold of me for permission for my idea!
Yeah absolutly right you deserve it when you play and not off field
Who went 11-1 in the 2005 playoffs?
he's gotta be thereWatching TV .is there a way to watch live TV like news from the bay area .?
Absolutely not. The Hall of Fame measures an entire career, not just parts of it. What Rose did as a manager soiled,and debased everything he did as a player. And his desperate rantings and theatrics prove that he has no idea what baseball, pure baseball, not the mess we have today, is really about. He needs to just go away and be quiet.My 7 year old son got hit in the mouth with a baseball, any suggestions to keep him wanting to play?
abso-freakin-lutely he should be in the hof he is the hit king the ultimate gamer and a damn good baseball mind. yea he gambled but the mick was a drunk and a wife beater, so i guess gambling is worse than beating your wife.no
How can i set up a target in my yard to help with my pitching. Something that will stand up.?
I was a supporter of him to be in the Hall of Fame based on his playing credentials. However, his admissions that he gambled on baseball but not on the Reds; then his admission that he bet on the Reds but not when specific pitchers played; then his admission that he bet on all Reds games but only to win made me believe that he is not honorable enough to be in the Hall of Fame.Many ask why it matters that he be on the Reds when he was managing as he was not playing. But a manager can have a greater effect on more games than any one player. For example, the manager bets that his team will win a specific game. In order to win that game he uses his closer for a longer period than normal. That means the closer will not be as effective in the next few days or may not be available at all.
Are there any other Knuckleball pitchers in MLB besides Tim Wakefield of the Red Sox? If so, who?
i believe he should be in for sure...i think that what he did as a manager does matter, but also we need to look at the fact that he never bet against his own team...this means that he did not alter the outcome of games, or at least not nearly as significantly as he may have, which was the major fear when he was banned from baseball...he needs to be reinstated and inducted, perhaps with some sort of asterisk, but still inductedWhat are some funny things to say during a baseball game to make the pitcher laugh?
If the Hall of Fame cared about celebrating baseball history and accomplishments, they'll let him in. Betting on the game was terrible, but there's strong evidence that Ty Cobb did the same... and he's been honored more than any other player. That's too much of a double-standard for me. They can disgrace his plaque in the Hall if they want, but Pete should be there regardless.yes i do,, but he should not be allowed to be involved in baseball activities. He is the hit king. He should be banned from everything else
I want to be a pitcher, but my arm isn't strong enough. Do you know any good exercises?
I agree. But baseball is absolute. Remember Shoeless Joe?After the first few weeks, which NL and AL teams look more World Series material?
I absolutely believe he should be in as a player. He is the all time leader in hits, which is incredible. As a manager, no. But he is the "Hit King", it would be crazy if they were to never put him in.definately...he's one of the best pure hitters the game has ever seen. yeah he bet on baseball. im sure jordan bet on basketball...and if you think he didn't then you're just plain retarded. there are players in the hall that have committed tax evasion...thats a little worse than gambling. he'll be reinstated soon enough and justice will be served!
Before or After he dies... he should be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think Pete was on steroids to hit 3,350 "Singles." I know, I know , it was gambling. So what! If you believe everything you hear about some of those there, some did much worse.
It's my opinion that "Shoeless" Joe Jackson should be there as well as David Orr, Lefty O'Doul and pitcher John Quinn, but, that's me.
Two worst posistions Infield then Outfield?
He did not do anything wrong to disgrace the sport of baseball. What's gambling got to do with the games? He's not stupid enough to bring back the Black Sox scandal once more to throw games he would have bet on..I'm surprised that the stupid baseball commissioner is not changing the ruling that Bart Giamatti made to ban Pete Rose from baseball. That shows that it's a bunch of stupid politics and no longer a sport.
Pete Rose deserves to have his plaque and recognition as a hall of famer!
Who do you think is the hottest team in baseball right now?
hell yeah he should be there players get in the hall of fame for what they accomplish in the diamond not what they do any other time.How far was utleys homer today?
yes! he deserves it so much. hes great even if he made a mistake.Why did the mets shave their heads and what's up with the pink bands?
Yes.I would have more understanding for the argument that his off the field conduct was "less than admirable" IF the rest of the hall of fame was filled with Lily white people.
No. Try alcoholics, KKK members, and other people with gambling "issues" -- to name a few.
For me it comes down to asking this question: if you were starting a team how badly do you want this Guy? Is the stuff he does/did OFF the field affect my team on it?
Pete Rose NEVER gave less than 100% on the field as a PLAYER. And it is his accomplishments as a PLAYER that should get him in.
Enough of this already. Put him in.
Yankees at Giants, June 22-24 - Clemens planning to serve up Bonds's big fly?
Yes, I mean if they put Bonds in there they will have to include Rose. They dont need to reinstate him just let him i the hall. He is one of the greatest players of all time. A great hustler(which we dont have anymore) who was aggresive.No.
As much as people would like to, you can't seperate what he did as a player from what he did as a manager. He was an employee of Major League Baseball during both phases of his career, just in different jobs. And he broke the sport's #1 cardinal rule: No Betting on Baseball. The rule isn't "No Betting on Baseball Unless You Bet for Your Team". It's "No Betting on Baseball". Period. Every baseball employee from the lowest minor leagues to the major leagues knows the rule. Pete Rose made a conscious choice to disregard it. Then he lied about it publicly for 14 years, not that that should influence anything. It's simply another example of his extremely poor judgement.
Look, Pete Rose was a great player. No one can deny that. But you don't give the world's best surgeon his profession's highest honor after he loses his license because of severe malpractice. And you don't honor a ballplayer with election to the Hall of Fame after he broke the mother of all rules.
For those who say there are other people in the HOF who weren't saints, that's absolutely true. But this isn't about drinking or partying or tax evasion or some other personal failing. It's specifically about betting on baseball while working in baseball. He knew the rules. He took the chance. He lost. It's sad, perhaps even pitiful, that he did things that are preventing his induction to the HOF. But he did them.
No one who ever saw him play will ever forget what he could do on a ballfield. The memory of Pete Rose as a player will live in the hearts of baseball fans for a very long time. The difference between him and the other greats is just that Pete Rose will not have a plaque in his honor sitting on a wall in a museum in Cooperstown.
What will help more african american youths play baseball ?
Pete Rose was a great hitter, one of the best ever, and I idolized him as a kid. He played at more positions in All-Star games than anyone, he was veratile. I remember him trying to kill Ray Fosse at home plate in an All-Star game. Pete is a thug and he totally dishonored himself and his family with his actions. NO!! NEVER!! Shame on you Charlie HustlerDoes fox do a bad job in television coverage of your favorite team?
Yes he should be in there cause he worked hard as a player. Sure he made some mistakes but to honor him after he is dead would be a crying shame. I think he should have used better judgement then he did but he played his heart out.Yes
He is the all-time leader in base hits. And not just that, a pitcher who was included in the Black Sox Scandal of 1919 got inducted to the Hall of Fame, yet he was also part of gambling (he was bribed) and did not lead at any stat.
Thus, Pete Rose might have gambled, but he is playing his heart out when he steps on the plate. Pete deserves to be in Cooperstown
If a woman played baseball, could she run with 3 balls?
Absolutely he should be in the hall of fame. If O'jay Simpson can still be in the hall of fame why not Pete. Pete is a legend. O'jay may have not been convicted of murder but he still did it.Pete Rose HOF 2008 sounds good.
