Pete Rose Has Died

[Sapper740]

Pete Rose? Amazing talent but he was his own worst enemy and had questionable morals. Admitting to cheating on his wife with a teenager who was most likely under the age of consent, thumbing his nose at MLB by setting up a booth in Cooperstown, NY during HoF induction week to sign baseballs with "I'm sorry I bet on baseball" written on them, refusing to quit hanging out at casinos for a chance at reinstatement....the list goes on. If Pete Rose exhibited a tad more humility than hubris he would have been in the HoF long ago.

If Pete Rose exhibited a tad more humility than hubris he would have been in the HoF long ago.

I agree but not sure he had any of that. In my view his accomplishments and contribution to the game earned him a place in Cooperstown in spite of his flaws. Hope he makes it.
