RIP Pete Rose

[bison]

It’s an absolute crime he never lived to see his name in the hall of fame.

[Patrick Chewing]

Was literally just talking about him with my Dad yesterday and how I hoped he would live long enough to see a better commissioner grant him his due in Cooperstown.

The most prolific hitter of all time. Very sad.

I never understood why the Hall of Fame was so important?

what happens when you're in the Hall of Fame? Do you become immortal? Do they give you a Billion Dollars?



if you're Pete Rose... who gives a f*ck about the Hall of Fame? You have the record for most hits ever, so who gives a f*ck?

nobody is going to remember you for being the HOF.... they will remember you for having the most hits ever.



And how much money was he gambling on baseball? was he running a criminal enterprise? never got the exact details on that.

It seems like he was just the patsy for endemic sports gambling underworld. They needed a fall guy to say "look we solved the problem!".

Not really, he was placing bets on the team he was managing, the Reds, his own team. Games that he can manipulate himself and tank to win bets. It's actually a huge no-no.

I know but there were tons of guys doing that back then. Underground sports gambling was huge in the pre-internet era and the mafia ran the bookie game with everybody.

[Hey Yo]

Sad to hear and really bummed me out when I heard this morning. Dude left it all on the field when he played, no shortcuts, no "I want the day off, coach". Loved and hated by many. Some thought he acted like a 'hot dog' showing his arrogance on the field.

RIP Mr. Hustle.

He bet to win you idiot.

[Bill Gates]

Only he knows the details of all his bets you drooling dumb fking low-IQ tard. Now no one knows. But that is beside the point, you can't gamble on something you can manipulate yourself regardless of the type of bet made. It is the sports equivalent to insider trading.

[Bill Gates]

We also know that Rose was a liar. He denied gambling at any capacity for over a decade before finally coming forward and admitting to it. So it is impossible for anyone to know the extent or details of his gambles. Any bet is possible, but again, the laws, rules, and stipulations don't care about the details of the wager made.

Stop being a conspiracy theorist.

If you had a shred of common sense you would realize Pete Rose wouldn’t bet to lose.

A man just died so if you could refrain from spouting your brain dead and slanderous takes for one day that would be great.

It started with you slandering me you drooling dumb fking low-IQ tard. Now that you realize you said something dumb you are coming with the "take it easy, a man just died!" :rolleyes:

You had to come in here and give your conspiracy theory takes on a man who just died. You are a petty and insecure little man. Low iq to boot. Very low class.

Take your conspiracy theories to another thread. No one cares what you have to say.

Me saying that no one knows what all of his gambles were isn't a wacky theory that Rose conspired with others. It's just me stating the obvious. You drooling dumb fking low-IQ tard.

Yes your ego was so big you had to “correct the record” in your own eye. You couldn’t even wait till his body turned cold. Had to hop in and flex your high iq and grace everyone here with your amazing opinion.

You are a low class asshole.

Regardless of when Rose passed, your post was stupid.

Good job. Your iq is so high. Everyone is so glad you came in here to tear down someone who just passed away. You are totally not a low class and insecure clown at all.

All of that is correct. Finally you post something logical.

I agree with you.

The writers hijacked the hall of fame. It is a lot more about their personal grudges and agendas than the players.
