Baseball legend Pete Rose Reached in death what he could never cope with in his life – again set up in the Major League Baseball. But “Puristen” of baseball capture their pearls and frightens that the bad man is now being approved in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
They are dead. Time for Pete to enter Cooperstown, no matter what the baseball eggheads may say.
For those who are too young to remember, Pete Rose is one of the largest and most exciting athletes who have ever picked up a glove. Rose remains Baseball’s all-time-hit King, with 4,256 basic hits to his name, three World Series titles, 17 all-star game appearances and more hit plates than you can shake a Louisville Slugger.

In 1978 he opened a record of National League 44 consecutive games. And Major League Pitcher’s nightmares had more than two decades about Pete Rose, who danced from the third basis.
Rose was a man before his time, in the sense that he played ahead of America’s main sports for a long time and that our society took over the habit. Of course, Rose did not simply register with Fanduel and put $ 50 on the Lakers. He bet on baseball games while he manages his hometown team that Cincinnati Reds. That booted him out of the game in shame.
It is easy to understand why Rose was thrown. The baseball had cheated earlier. The Chicago White Sox from 1919 threw the World Series at the behest of players, as demonstrated in the book and film “Eight Men Out”. The World Series from 1918 could also have been remedied.
The protection of the integrity of the game was of the greatest importance for MLB commissioners And for the Baseball Hall of Fame. But as Commissioner Rob Manford said when he reinstated Rose, it is difficult to see what damage someone can do the game from the grave.
There are many people who would like to continue Rose’s exile forever. They say his actions have led baseball down a slippery slope from which he will never recover. Oh, please. They overlook its size on the field and focus on his personal defects, which were admittedly numerous.
But the Baseball Hall of Fame does not exist to honor character. If this were the case, you would have to put down the badges of Ty Cobb, a notorious racist and an all -round lousy and countless other times that could swing a racket or throw strikes.
Rose’s decisions had no influence on the results of games, in contrast to the later baseball players, whose consumption of performance -enhancing drugs increased their statistics and changed the overall ranking. He just injured himself.
In 1973, when I was 15 years old, I cut the school to see how the METS played the Reds in the National League Championship series, a game that was characterized by Pete Rose and Mets Shortstop Buddy Harrelson, which almost led to a decay of Mets.
Here is a photo of Michael Levin’s ticket stubs from the Mets-Reds game, on which he experienced the buddy Harrelson-Pete Rose Fight from 1973.

Years later I met Rose in Las Vegas Memorabilia Store, where he would sign a photo or a baseball for a fee. I told him that I had seen his argument with Harrelson.
“We lost,” he snapped at me. “Why should I hear from this game?”
It took decades before Rose recognized the gambling, probably because he never really thought he did something so bad. His unapologist stance undoubtedly cost him back in baseball and approval in the Hall of Fame in his life.

However, admitting that Rose in the Hall of Fame does not simply fulfill his memory. It celebrates its size in the memories of fans like me and younger fans who study the story of the game.

The classic baseball committee is only to meet in December 2027 to determine Roses fate. We hope that today you will meet and give and give on a zoom call Pete Rose his due.
This man was a Hall of Fam when he saw a red uniform for the first time. He went to death without forgiveness or justification. This is a mistake in the score books when I have ever seen one. It is time to set the hit king where it belongs. On a badge in Cooperstown with the rest of the immortal. And the pearl sports “experts” can go on a hike.
