- In early September 2024 and just weeks before his passing at age 83, Pete Rose made a final pitch to be considered for baseball's Hall of Fame and spoke candidly about his struggles with gambling.

"I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball." -Pete Rose
Passion!
But he wouldn't not bet. Weird.
It is DISGUSTING what the Marxist Media did to this guy. He should be in the HOF as a player-END OF STORY. As a manager this would be a different argument. They want to hold him out as an example of what morals are supposed to be while they gaslight us and allow politicians with free rein to insider trade and manipulate our markets which have all but destroyed the true meaning of free markets. Sure, the guy wasn't perfect but his stint as a player cannot be attributed by gambling. Prove me wrong...ANYONE.
Hope he knew Jesus
Or he's walking there right now eternally
R.I.P Charlie Hustle
Rest In Peace to the all-time MLB hits leader, Pete Rose (1941-2024). His baseball legacy will never be forgotten ⚾️❤🕊😢🙏🏻
Ichiro was better.
His legacy won't ever be matched. .
@@ZionismFailure and still didn't have the heart to stay in the game to beat Rose's hit record.
His legacy is being a P.O.S. that gambled on baseball as a manager and that hit on Ray Fosse in the all-star game.
@@jackstraw6760to YOU it is but not to everyone
Hall of Famer Pete Rose. Always in our hearts
Well said
Not in my heart
Thanks Lord for bible study class
Thanks Lord for your salvation and peace
Rest in peace legend ❤🙏
Charlie Hustle...rest in peace Pete. You were always in my Hall of Fame
he does sound weaker than a couple years ago.
@@jimnfl7134 people do that when they age...
Well said
Growing up in Cincinnati, from nursery school age, the name Pete Rose was first on my mind. In '85, four weeks before he broke Ty Cobb's record with Pete's 4192nd hit, I was on an elevator with Pete in the Hyatt Grand Hotel in NYC. I was so excited to see him. Loud, boisterous and happy, I said "Pete, you're the greatest!"
Oh, what a lucky encounter!
goodbye Pete😢❤
💔
Now every other TV ad is for gambling. Hypocrites in MLB. So corrupt.
lol that's a good point Dodgers have a season long sponsorship deal with Morongo Casino - they mention Morongo about 18x per game broadcast
It is indeed so disgusting. He paid his price long ago.
Good for him. Ex cons are ex cons forever
@@Shaolin91zreally? No second chance over something this stupid? I think Barry Bonds shouldn’t be home run king and that belongs to Hank Aaron solely and don’t think he should be in the hall of fame either but guess what, he will be. Pete Rose deserved to be as well.
He may not be in the hall physically, but he’s in statistically, figuratively & humanly.
Humanly not at all
None of the above
The hall means nothing. Knowing Jesus is everything eternally..
Thanks Lord for your salvation and peace
Thanks pete for showing us how to play the great game
of baseball
RIP hit king
Even though he should not have done what he did, the man was still a fantastic baseball player and nobody can deny that or take it away from him. The MLB should’ve given the guy a break. Now it’s too late. Bless his heart. RIP Mr Rose.
This is so sad to watch.... baseball missed their chance to do the right thing.....
Not at all. Not only gambling he also served 6 months for tax evasion and admitted to having sex with 15-16 year old girls in the 70s.
@@LeeCopuswhere did you get the info on the sex
@@sethmermelstein305 The "METOO" Movement deemed it so, remember When He went to Philly a couple years ago and a reporter brought up allegations? to those in favor of the METOO BS that's concrete evidence that He's guilty, no trial needed.
@@LeeCopus All of which are normal things nowadays. MLB is a joke for banning him, and he should have slugged Jim Gray at the All Star Game.
@@LeeCopus Judge not .
Only Jesus is perfect .
They done you dirty Pete.
They made an example out of him to minimize others from betting *against their own teams*
Pete Rose did himself dirty, because he accepted the deal. What was the deal? If MLB won't have a formal hearing about his gambling, he would accept being banned for life including being permanently ineligible for the HOF.
I find it rather hypocritical that MLB kept this man banned from baseball, yet they are partnered with online sports betting.
Pete did baseball dirty
@@George-f8halways made me wonder if there was more to the story that Pete didn't want to be public. I don't know what that could have been, but there had to be a reason Pete took that deal.
I literally cried today. I'm a grown 59 year old woman! HOF is BS! POLITICS! Pete Rose was my childhood hero, I watched every game of Cincinnati Reds 1975, HE was the Man! To this day, I STILL WEAR MY #14 FOR MY HERO! God rest your soul CHARLIE HUSTLE! You were wrong in betting, but that should NEVER have precluded your success as the PLAYER. Screw the talk as the manager, BS. You WERE THE GOAT! Love you and GOD REST YOUR SOUL.
Perfectly said! Same hometown girl, 55, watched the BRM growing up….NO ONE LIKE OUR BELOVED PETE.❤
Pete was the best.
You and I are the same age. I grew up in Houston and (as a kid) couldn’t stand Pete Rose. The Reds were always the Astros “daddy”! As I got older, my loathing turned into respect. I began to realize that the only reason I didn’t like the great players (in any sport) was because they weren’t on my favorite team. How lucky you were to grow up watching/rooting for the greatest hitter in the history of MLB. RIP Pete!!
Well said. I'm in my 70s now and defending Mr. Rose has always been my honor and duty. The HOF to me is just a click of self righteous wannabes who make the rules as they go. Shame on them I say, the shame IS now on them.
He cheated. He lied. End of story.
Put him in the hall of fame.
Now they will, to make a buck off it.
Now!
@@lowbodyfat6707 The National Baseball Hall Of Fame doesn't need Rose to be inducted to be successful. In terms of halls of fame they are more credible than others for having high standards and integrity. I'm fine with the numbers from his career being inducted and recognized by the hall. Especially now that Rose can't market himself and profit from it.
MLB just covered up for Dodgers gambling star Shohei Ohtani by blaming his PR guy in the press but wouldn't put Charlie Hustle in the HOF while he was alive? Any posthumous MLB HOF induction is a slap in the face of Pete Rose's legacy.
@@IceManLikeGervin The National Baseball Hall Of Fame is independent of Major League Baseball. They decided that nobody who is on MLB's ineligible list can be considered for induction to their hall of fame. Pete Rose was justifiably removed from the game and never took the actions necessary to atone for his actions and return to any official role in baseball governed by Major League Baseball. Right now we don't have good reason to think that Ohtani knew or was involved in the gambling and other crimes committed by his former interpreter. And as great as he is, if baseball finds that he did know and was involved then it is perfectly fine if they put him on the ineligible list too!
The Houston Astros CHEATED to defeat the LA Dodgers to win the 2017 World Series…and they STILL have their title. Yet Pete Rose is STILL denied…pitiful!!!
Yup. I wish the powers that be would be required to read these comments, they may just walk away examinating themselves & their motives.
didn't he bet against his own team?
F the Hall of Fame. RIP Charlie Hustle.
Betting against your own team hurts the integrity of the game. It’s corruption.
@@bbiancini you obviously don’t know what you are talking about.
Pete is in the same class as those three all-timers he mentioned: Mays-Aaron-Clemente. Screw the HOF. Rose will always be known as one of the all-time greats.
I agree!
No, He wasn't as good all around as any of those three, not even close, HOF? Sure, but same class, no way. Clemente at least you an argument, But Mays and Aaron are either on most MT. Rushmore's or right on the outside Rose just isn't. He's not even near Frank Robinson or Pujols let alone Mantle, Williams or Griffey and of Course Aaron or Mays.
@@pycellesbeard9728
But for the most hits in MLB history, his drive, hustle, pure spit, piss, and vinegar for an average size guy of 5’11”, he personified baseball before it was taken-over and became DominicanBall.
@@justicegusting2476 You are correct, but there is nothing wrong with DominicanBall. Many of those players, play like Pete.
@@justicegusting2476 Not gonna argue about any of those points and I don't mean any disrespect, He's one of the greats but just not on those other guys level, I'd say the same about my fav all time Player Mike Schmidt Him and Rose are closer to each other than they are to any of the Top 5-10 guys.
RIP Pete Rose. The punishment didn't fit the crime!
Hey life means life. And he knew the risk. But seriously, may he rest in peace. No hate intended.
@@Victor-s6i8lHe never bet on baseball. He bet on the spread or over under. Show me a bookie who will give you an even money bet and I’ll be he’s #1 client. People don’t understand that. Life is life and he is not bigger than the game.
Well said.
@@Jarvisc12 Pete Rose bet on baseball! He accepted a lifetime ban because the commissioner's office had the evidence and showed it to Rose. They allowed him some grace in accepting the ban rather than having all of the details of the investigation publicized. And then he went to jail for other crimes. He is not a victim. The punishment was very compassionate considering his many faults and crimes.
people should read up about what the owners of pro sports teams do. What pete did was nothing.
Rip Peter Edward Rose, you will be missed
They talked about Rose while he played.... they talked about Rose after he's been banned from the game of baseball..... they talk about Rose now that he has died..... and they will talk about Rose 100 years from now.... he will remain one of the biggest impact baseball players to wear a uniform.....
I bet a $1 he will still be made an example of 100 years later.
@y2kelly66 From the current Fanduel or Draft kings ads that they shove down our throats? Not sure what moral high ground they'll have.
@@NathanBauman-zj6ipI don’t think moral high ground would be their objective, not teaching either just their “principle rule” can’t be broken and they make the rule
God bless you Mr. Rose. Meeting you in Vegas was truly an honor. I'll never forget you taking the time to talk to me...and that handshake! I look forward to sharing that memory with my son when he's older. Rest in peace brother.
" I'd walk thru hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball"- Pete Rose. That quote right there shows you how much the man loved the game.
The man should have been in the HOF a long time ago. Tragic it couldn't be accomplished while he was alive.
MLB sucks. They did him wrong and now he is dead. Too late. Dont want to watch another game again.
@@crazycat1232 💯%
With all the corruption that goes on this guy admitted it paid his price and shame on baseball for not placing him in the Hall of Fame while still alive!!!!!! Absolutely 💯 horrendous....no mercy... Now Charlie Hustle is gone.
I have been in Cooperstown. I have been in the lobby of the 'hall of fame'. I refused to enter. Without the player with the most hits and most plate appearances, it is simply just another sports museum. It may be bigger than the one near me, but it is basically the same thing.
Look at all the players that were suspended for drug possession, domestic violence arrests, and other criminal offenses. They got a second chance. But to deny Rose the HOF is wrong. Doesn't change the fact that he is the all-time hits leader.
As far as gambling is concerned, it has the potential to do more damage to the game of baseball than drugs or violence. That said, Pete belongs in the HofF. I always said they should keep him out of baseball, but he deserves to be in the hall. The hall made a special rule to purposely keep him out after he was banned. The hall of fame hierarchy are cowards.
He kept lying about betting on baseball, even after everyone knew he was betting on baseball
He's gotten more mileage out of not being inducted into the HOF then he would have gotten if he was.
@@kcash6359 What's is this "deserves" argument? Pete Rose made a deal with MLB that if they don't have a formal hearing in which embarrassing facts might come out, he would accept being banned for life including being ineligible for the HOF. Imagine how bad his conduct must have been for him to take the deal. Even Johnny Bench felt Pete Rose shouldn't be inducted for what he did.
Because he broke the biggest rule in the sport
I agree with Pete. People have done far worse and after a few years back. RIP
My all time favorte player. Hands down. Charlie Hustle should be in the HOF. RIP.
Sorry, man. You should have been in the Hall of Fame, and everyone knows it.
Baseball killed Pete Rose along time ago but taking away his passion and love. He had to live with this death till he passed .. god bless you Pete…. There will Only will be only one Charlie Hustle. Baseball is poorer and not complete till he’s in hall of fame.
Oh please. He gambled on baseball, and the game is at fault.
@@George-f8h there are people in hall of fame done a lot worse. Get over yourself
Pete Rose will be remembered for the 4,256 hits. LeBron will be remembered for wearing dresses a Diddy parties. 😅
Is that true about the dresses? Where did you get that?
AI generated image. Go away Edward you are bad.
and his hatred of white people
Bingo
Ez entry
Any one know what he had been battling as far as Heath problems ? He looked fine, and absolutely clear mind, recalled events years ago & discussing baseball in videos as recently as September 9 ??
That's what I'm wondering. Heart attack maybe?
Fay Vincent blamed Rose for Giamatti's death..... I wonder if Giamatti had not died if things would have been different with Rose's ban......
An interesting thought, I remember when Giamatti died and all the speculation at that time that the stress of the Rose situation contributed greatly to his death. After all it was like one or two weeks after the suspension that he suddenly died. I remember thinking at that time that Giamatti's death would forever keep Rose from getting re instated. Of course Pete never did himself any favors either by continuing to deny he ever bet on baseball until his book came out in 2004 and all the "I bet on baseball" balls he was selling. Pete was who he was, A bight star on the field and a hero to many, but a truly flawed man off of it.
Ridiculous. The guy was a heavy smoker and probably was a workaholic. That’s why he died. He just did his job which required a lot of time
Rest in Peace Charlie Hustle.......the game of Baseball lost a TRUE athlete today
I got to meet Pete Rose at a batting cage in Erlanger Ky. He actually talked to me and my dad about my batting stance. It was so surreal. Rip big guy.
“I always thought about that, what good would it do to my family to put me into the hall of fame after I die” Pete Rose, Final Interview September 2024
MLB never said that Pete Rose would be banned from the Hall of Fame for eternity, so he might get inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame. Should have been inducted when he was alive. Sad day in the world of baseball today. RIP Charlie Hustle.
Greatest player in baseball history.
I don't agree, to me It was Babe Ruth(also Pete Ros's pick).....but I can't be mad at your statement. The man Is a baseball legend of legends.
Ichiro homie
Barry Bonds, but they don’t him dirty also.
Pete Rose said it himself......If MLB puts me in after I am dead then what is the point?? I totally agree with Pete.. He did the crime and he did the time....Yes Pete belongs in the HOF but not now not ever.....If MLB Baseball could not see that while he was alive then screw them they don't deserve to have him in the HOF after death......We the true fan's of baseball know Pete was a HOF'ER and that he more than paid his due's to MLB.....With all the gambling in sports now it is just a freaking joke that Mr. Pete Rose Charle Hustle could of not been reinstated and voted into the HOF while he was alive!!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you 100% but on the other hand I’ve got a granddaughter that’s 1 year old and I’ve carried my 2 sons to cooperstown 4 times and each time I’m always telling them something else about a player that I missed before. My granddaughter should KNOW WHO Pete (Charlie hustle) was and how great he was at the game he loved. Younger generations deserve to know what he did single handily in the game, without making millions of dollars and driving exotic car. He did it with talent and work ethic, yes if they have to learn why he was banned from baseball they’ll see how politics work in the MLB
We all know of Shoeless Joe Jackson and he is not in the HOF.I think Pete would get the same notoriety NOT being in the hall of fame, hell i know he will because he is such a hugh ommission !! The Hall of Fame is and has been turning into the hall of who campaigns the hardest to get in!! I think it is getting very diluted of great talent !! it is a crying shame.
@@ColdshotVaughan you said that right, WE ALL KNOW. Shoeless Joe isn’t being talked about to the generation that’s coming up like my dad and grandpa use to talk to me. But the legend of Pete will never die and what work horse he was
aj hinch cheated to win the world series with the astros and he was only banned for one year and is the current manager of the tigers. Pete Rose wasnt even able to manage again and had to get permission to see his son play in the minor leauges but wasnt allowed to be on the baseball field
Exactly! Cora cheated too and got hired. Hof us a joke
No Aj slander is allowed.them guys still had to hit
AJ Hinch wasn't consorting with criminals who could have potentially extorted him into throwing games. Pete was placing bets through bookies who were connected to serious organized crime. People are so naive when it comes to this story. It's sad Pete died but most of you don't seem to have the facts on this Hall of Fame thing. Google the title of this news story from ESPN's Outside the Lines if you want to read it all for yourself: "Entries in long-hidden notebook show Pete Rose bet on baseball as player"
@@TkKirkland-lm5wv aj hinch is a disgrace to baseball and no wonder they tigers were winning he cheated again
Punished in 89 by 89 standards. It was always going to be after death Pete. See you in the big game.
Judged by fair and reasonable standards when he knew very well the punishment for his acts.
Why didn't they give him his glory man? How much he gave to the game gives a f*** about gambling unless he was fixing games and that's sort of messed up. But even still I mean we all make mistakes
iirc he was not fixing games…uncertain
R.I.P. to not only one of the all time greatest players ever but also one of the greatest competitors and winners ever! And a great ambassador for the game of baseball. I loved hearing his stories and laughing at his joke. He was a true throwback to a bygone era and I wish we had more time with him. So long, Charlie Hustle….you will be missed.
A life time ban , OVERKILL , baseball is a joke, RIP Pete.
Jesus would forgive Pete Rose, so why can't MLB?
Good question.
Pete's playing with the Babe and Ty Cobb now.
😢
Jesus in the outfield and Mother Teresa on first base?
@@George-f8h WTF. Mother who?
You think Ty Cobb is in the “good place”? 😂😂
@@majorlazor5058 He didn't mention good place. Fact is most ballplayers are playing in hell.
My 2 GOATS…Pete Rose & Nolan Ryan!!!!
They were good friends...
Manford, Selig, etc....Sports history will judge you forever for keeping this amazing athlete out of the HOF. Tragic...
Don’t forget Fay Vincent and Bart Giamati are to blame also.
@@Redwhiteblue-gr5em For sure...
Uncle Charlie Hustle....always.
We 💖 you Pete Rose. Thank you for signing a baseball for me.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE HALL OF FAME FOR THE PAST 30 years. SCREW THOSE IN CHARGE.
We love you Pete, the best ball player ever. RIP❤
TATIS is back playing and Pete Rose never did PEDs
Too bad Pete didn’t have an interpreter like Ohtani, If he did he wouldn’t be banned. And now Ohtani has become the first 50/50 player. I will never believe his story he didn’t know his assistant was taking Millions out of his bank account. Dodgers are only paying him a few million a year now. All his contract is deferred. He would have noticed that money was taken. RIP Pete, …. Thank you for your efforts and energy.
Facts
Pete(rip) the manager bet on his own team. Facts Rose fans can't accept.
Just because you like Pete doesn’t mean you have to crap on someone else. If law enforcement thought Ohtani had committed fraud they would have charged him. He’s not the first wealthy person to have an assistant or accountant or someone steal from them.
No doubt ...Pete Rose should be in the Hall Of Fame. Alex Karas and Paul Hornung are in a more selective pro football HOF despite being suspended FOR 1 SEASON, 25 years earlier than Pete Rose for the same disease/act. A few years ago, Calvin Ridley bet 10s of 1000s on his team, and received a 1 YEAR SUSPENSION. As soon as the Ridley suspension occured, baseball needed to end their war on Pete Rose, as it isnt a fitting or legit punishment for modern times plain and simple. The scrolling odds on EVERY modern televised baseball game should have made that obvious as well. The basketball HOF has a player who has done much worse, solicitation of the murder of a disagreeable head coach. Take the friggin fraternity of baseball writers out of the equation immediately. They are the real guilty party, along with those that fetishize the glossier and romantic view of baseball's past. The people who select the baseball HOF need to grow the F up!!
Remember Pete and the the big red machine coming into Dodger stadium when I was a kid, RIP Charlie Hustle ⚾️
It was about 30 years ago when my father educated me on why Pete Rose wasn't going to be inducted into the HOF. They could never prove that his game was affected by his bet, so who cares? Maybe a slap on the wrist, but thus? One of the first instances that I discovered where the rules aren't evenly applied. Since then my eyes have only seen just how corrupt those with power operate.
Rest in Peace, Pete
The MLB Hall of Fame will be sent to hell for not forgiving Pete "Charlie Hustle" Rose
In the Heaven playing with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Cy Young,Ted Williams, Stan l Musial, Bob Feller, Vitico Davalillo, Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Joe Morgan y Satchel Paige.
What a great reunion they are having. Can’t you just see Pete smiling
Kirby Puckett, Tom Seaver and Darryl Kile too
@@joliz1234 Yes man. Greetings from Venezuela.
Hank Aaron.
Most players on that list will not be in Heaven
Pete was a vocal Republican, so that’s another reason the Baseball establishment doesn’t want him in the Hall of Fame. That’s also why the most deserving Curt Schilling is not in the Hall of Fame. They only seem to let in Republicans who don’t publicly discuss politics.
Human nature. They will put him into the hall of fame since he’s dead. Why can’t we treat people kindly while they are still alive? It’s horrible how people act when somebody die but could give 2 craps when they are alive. The way I see it, if we weren’t good when I’m alive don’t miss me when I’m gone
Yea another example is I tried to get a street signing honor and the local board really puts people who are dead. Why not give someone their flowers when they are here to celebrate it.
The penalty did not fit the crime. Now a stain has formed on those overseeing the game of baseball. May they think twice before penalizing a player or team.
He just leaves us wtf he should have had a podcast mlb ESPN wtf
Now he'll have to go into the HOF posthumously.
RIP Pete Rose....Simply one of the greatest MLB players I have ever seen play....We use to drive down to Cincinnati from Cleveland in the 70's just to watch him play with the "Big Red Machine"...."Charlie Hustle" as he was affectionally known had more hits in MLB history than any other player with 4,256 & absolutely should be in the "Baseball Hall of Fame".
I'd agree with what he said
We have players busted doing steroids, drugs, and flat out cheating. This man earned every single run, every single hit, and every single play. He deserves to finally be put into the HOF. Rest easy Pete. You are and were pretty amazing!
Lifetime Ban....Well unfortunately now his Life is Over...LIFT THE BAN...PUT HIM IN THE HALL OF FAME!
They did him so wrong!!!
RIP PETE!!
pete played 24 seasons, 3562 games (a record), hit 4256 base hits, had on base plus slugging .784. one of the best players ever. modern players using drugs have done far worse than pete ever did.
Rest in peace Pete Rose he belonged in hall of fame
The MLB did him dirty. Put him in the hall of fame already
Pete never bet on Reds to lose like Joe Jackson in Black Sox scandal. If Pete would have come clean right away, he would be in HOF. RIP, Hit King.
Let's be clear: Shoeless Joe Jackson was the only player on that team to _not_ accept money to throw the 1919 Series. Look at his record in that Series. His 12 base hits set a World Series batting record that stood for 45 years. He led both teams with a .375 batting average, no charged errors, and threw out a runner at home. He was playing to win. The other seven players accused testified on his behalf that he wasn't involved. The jury found the players innocent, but Landis didn't care. He banned all eight players under the presumption that, at some point, they were all aware of the plan to fix the Series, yet did nothing to stop it from happening.
@@NeilTruick Yes. If Shoeless Joe Jackson did cheat, then he failed miserably. 😂😂😂
RIP Pete. This kinda reminds me they put Kenny Snake Stabler in the NFL HOF after he passed. People have axes to grind.
they will give illegal migrants more chances than one... it's a great country alright.... RIP Rose

Pete Rose served his lifetime ban from baseball. Now it is time for him to take his rightful place in Cooperstown.
Excellent point!
Of course, NOW they'll induct him into the HOF! A day late and a dollar short! One of the greatest players to play the game! As IF the rest of them are "holier than thou"! I KNEW this would happen! NOW they'll all come out and spew what a great player he was! Hypocrites!
Pete Rose is the Hall of Fame.
You should have been in the Hall during your lifetime Charlie Hustle
Do we take back the World Series rings from the Pirates because Dock Ellis was high on cocaine?
Nah Doc was black.
The Astros players got away with cheating for probably at least 2 seasons, and they went unpunished. The Astros organization got basically a slap on the wrist. Didn’t that hurt the integrity of the game? I know I lost some trust in MLB. look now how they’re black balling Trevor Bauer from MLB, and he didn’t get convicted, or break any law. Now everyone knows it was a setup. What a shame!
Nope
They celebrate Dock's no-hitter on LSD.
the way they did pete is why i can't watch baseball and haven't since the dwight gooden strawberry mets days. but the Aholes that won't let him be forgiven are letting everyone bet on it now. SO HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. the commissioner or those in charge killed my love for it over pete rose.
He is the greatest hitter by a bunch! That record will never fall
come on RIP and all but longevity helped get him that record, not a knock but no way He's in Cobb, Williams, Gwynn or Ruth's league.
@@pycellesbeard9728 Pete Rose and Ty Cobb played the same number of seasons, 24. Pete Rose had 10 200+ hit seasons. That’s extremely difficult to do. Gwynn had 5 200 hit seasons, Ted Williams never had a 200 hit season. Even if you take away Rose’s last 7 seasons he would have had over 3400 hits. Pete Rose was more than longevity.
In the year of Sports Betting where I watch players AND refs or umps throwing games and blowing calls LITERALLY EVERY GAME these days, Pete Rose would fit right in today! Sport betting corrupted the entire industry; not the same.
I always loved to hear Pete talk about baseball. He lived and breathed it. Such a tragedy he wasn't put in the HOF before he passed. The greatest MLB hitter of all-time! R.I.P.
Not to take anything away from Pete but Ted Williams was the greatest hitter of all time. Ted spent 4 plus of his prime years in the military.
@alt777-in9lw That is a good argument. I am referring to the most hits in MLB is a historical accomplishment. I respect Ted's service to our country. Obviously should also be recognized as a great one. 👍
@@johnmadison3472 We agree both were greats and will never be replaced.....RIP Mr. Rose.
It's ok Pete...You went to the ultimate Hall of Fame today, wear your crown with pride in heaven...we love you!!
Rip Legend
R.I.P. Pete...so sad another member of the Big Red Machine gone. 😢
This man deserves to be on the Hall of Fame. It’s disgusting that he wasn’t inducted in his lifetime. He served his lifetime ban, it’s time to put him in the HOF where he belongs
Dude should be in the HoF. MLB bungles another situation, shockingly...
While it's still important to me that Pere Rose is placed in the Hall of Fame, with Pete's passing it will NOT be the same without seeing Pete's acceptance speech or watch him personally enjoy his day in Cooperstown. RIP Legend. Forever loved and appreciate as our Hall of Famer!
Shame on you MLB
At one time or another, everyone takes a gamble in life. Keep on swinging.
It’s a shame what the MLB did to Pete. Murderers get 25 years; Pete got life. 4256 hits will be tough to beat.
It may never be beat.
It’ll never be beaten!
That record is safe for at least another 20 years
That's a great analogy
He knew the consequences of his actions. You can't seriously compare 25 years in prison (and Rose did his own jail time for his other crimes) and being ineligible to be involved the sport you stained.
This is truly heartbreaking. Ban him from the league whatever but to not acknowledge the player with the most hits at bats and games played is just straight up wrong.
RIL Hall of Famer…
Pete Rose was the "Greatest" Baseball Player of all time.... I watched him play for years.... It was the geatest time to watch him play on tv or when he was in San Diego wearing my Padres out.... CHARLIE HUSTLE was exactly that 1000% Mr. Baseball every game he gave everything he had.
That cannot be said about 99.9% of those playing today.... and Pete knew it but was too nice to put his finger on baseballs lazy, soft cancer.
