MLB

[Wild Bill]

Anyone can see that he’s in the top 0.01% of players to ever play, but he clearly, obviously, and willingly broke the most sacred rule in baseball. I think he deserves it, but I’m also okay with it being posthumously. Nobody made more money off the HOF than Pete. It was a give and take. MLB has all sorts of Pete’s accomplishments and memorabilia in the HOF so they capitalized on him. He stacked cash signing anything he could while high jacking many HOF induction weeks, drawing attention away from those being honored. Great player, questionable character. Also, that whole dating a teenager thing…
Just curious how all you Pete Rose fans feel about the steroid era guys chances at the HOF afte this decision?

This is a very interesting post. I appreciate it. Really makes me think. And I don’t have my answer for any of it. You put my mind in a pretzel.
