Free Pete Rose! I can’t believe they still won’t vote one of the greatest players into the Hall of Fame. I’m not even that much of a baseball fan and yet I know Pete Rose.
One of my most vivid memories from Tank is the exodus of refugees from Cincinnati (war like retreat, carrying things on their backs & on carts) when the Reds let the then universally beloved Rose go to Philadelphia.
Are those Ginsu knife knock-offs from North Korea that Rodman is wielding? Maybe they were gifts from the current sawed-off freak running that country (and its people) into the ground.
Joe Jackson has been found to have not been a part of Arnold Rothstein’s fix of the World Series, yet he’s STILL not in the Hall of Fame. People get on their high horse about the PED/HGH/Steroid era, yet seemingly fail to realize that use was not illegal. The players association fought testing for years and, only now, do they allow testing. Pete Rose gambled on baseball. There are signs in every stadium that tell you that that’s forbidden. Everybody knows that. Time to come up with a better argument people.
Pete Browning, the original Louisville Slugger, hit .341 over 13 seasons and his crime was not playing most of them in the National League. Talk about injustice. In fact, no player whose career was predominantly in the American Association (which was the NL’s equal on the field) is in Cooperstown. But Tommy McCarthy is.

All capable of cooking up something. Rodman, controversy. Deion, self promotion. Rose, excuses.

Seeing as how these are former Sports Jerks, they should be cooking up some beef jerky!

I agree with jonesb. They will let all the “all stars” from the steroid era in but won’t let a guy who bet ON his team to win?

jollyjack give me a break. I said WILL – in the future. You know that they will let those three, Clemens, et al in there.
