I wouldn't have a problem with the HOF creating an exhibit on Rose, but he shouldn't have a plaque.<br /><br />And for the record, I think that the gambling is a much, much, much, much more serious offense than juicing.

We don't have to like his actions off the field, but he was a great player and competitor on the field. Thanks for sharing Fuji.

I teach a class on "character development", so things like "respect" and "responsibility" are very important to me. But so is "forgiveness". As I've gotten older, I think I've gotten softer and I pretty much have forgiven the guy as a fan. I hope he'll one day get reinstated and recognized for his "on the field" accomplishments.<br /><br />By the way, Topps produced a card of Pete Rose in 1991. The set was for an NBC movie of Babe Ruth, in which Rose was the actor for Ty Cobb.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911511049033479555.post-20978333696699841292013-02-16T09:44:59.921-05:002013-02-16T09:44:59.921-05:00What are the consequences of reinstating the Black...What are the consequences of reinstating the Black Sox at this point? None. While there were clearly White Sox players who threw the series there guilt in all cases isn't totally clear. Rose isn't the smartest guy, nor moral, but he was a great player. Put him for what he did as a player and not for the stupid choices he made as a manager Eric Brackehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836668555583253200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911511049033479555.post-88775094995348579252013-02-16T09:27:14.494-05:002013-02-16T09:27:14.494-05:00Are they going to reinstate the Black Sox while th...Are they going to reinstate the Black Sox while they're at it? It would be a travesty if a scumbag who broke rule #1 in baseball (and knew full well what the consequence would be) was reinstated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
