Reinstate Pete Rose!

[bluestateguy]

26 years is enough punishment. We let players who did steroids back into baseball far sooner, as well as players who snorted coke, assaulted women, made racist, sexist and homophobic remarks and drove drunk.

1. Fuck that fucking fuck.

As we now know, he bet on baseball his entire career, not just as a manager but as a player as well.. FUCK HIM. He signed the agreement and he has to live with it. FUCK that fucking fuck.

2. When Bonds is in, Rose can be in

[vt_native]

3. Read, "Hustle"

Pete is a piece of crap.

Plus he admitted to gambling on sports the day Eckersley got into the Hall of Fame, which took all the thunder from Eckersley's day.

[HERVEPA]

4. Fuck Pete Rose and the horse he rode in on and the cavalry behind him.

Bet on baseball while player and manager, lied about it forever, phony who only cared about his own statistics, ruined a catcher's career in an all-star game. Phony hustle to first base on a walk crap. Fuck him.
And this from a Phillies fan, who was disgusted to watch him for a number of years.

[BillZBubb]

5. No way.

Betting on games is the cardinal sin. Baseball (or any sport) players gambling on their sport cannot be tolerated.

Rose knew what he was doing was absolutely prohibited and struck at the heart of the game.

[Renew Deal]

6. He should never be reinstated

And his presence on Fox Sports is an embarrassment. He committed a crime that he knew carried a lifetime ban.

[NightWatcher]

7. A-Rod sat out a year for cheating. Pete's paid his price

26 years is more than enough. Let him in.

He played the game harder than anyone.

[demtenjeep]

8. no

he bet on a team and then caused the outcome

No

[NightWatcher]

9. Pete was banned for gambling but Draftkings dot com is a sponsor of the game?

Gambling on the game is wrong, but go to this website and gamble, because they're paying us.

That's straight up cray cray.

[demtenjeep]

13. pretty sure people on draftkings are not players and managers who can affect the game

:eyeroll:

[aikoaiko]

10. Im cool with him being reinstated...

...after he is dead.

[goldent]

11. Absolutely, I would like to see him get in too, but there would be problems

One is that with his accomplishments, he would tower over other inductees for that year. He would probably get some booes also, but that wouldn't be the first time.

[redstateblues]

12. He not only gambled as a manager

But as a player too. Lied about it and showed no genuine response. Keep him out.

[Initech]

14. Nelson Cruz did steroids and he gets a standing ovation.

[cherokeeprogressive]

15. Pete bet against his own team, from his own dugout. Fuck Pete Rose.

[Owl]

16. No. Just no.

[dembotoz]

17. Must we lower the bar so low it is underground?

No keep him out
