I tried to stay away from that cheesy Pete Rose movie |
|
but what can i say? it's like a train wreck...the movie actually wasn't that bad...brought back some memories because this was the first real big sports scandal i had dealt with when i was young (loss of childhood innocence and all that)

1. Couldn't they have found an actor |
|
That vaguely resembled Pete Rose physically?
That was my biggest quibble.

5. Didn't the actor have a NY/NJ accent too? |
|
I thought that I caught that in the trailer. Rose was born and raised in Cincinnati.

2. What do you think about getting Rose into the hall of fame? |
|
I think he should be there.

What he did risked the integrity of the game itself and no personal achievements can supercede that.

6. What he did as a player had nothing to do with his fuck ups as a mgr. |
|
He should be in the Hall.

7. "Hustle The Pete Rose Story" |
|
on ESPN....
and FWIW, I do believe he should be in the HOF (BUT he should not be allowed to manage, or be GM, or have any job where he can affect outcome or profit from games
