Baseball legend Pete Rose In death, he achieved what he could never manage during his life – returning to the baseball Major League. Still, the “Puristi” baseball tightens his pearls, terrified that a bad man will now be admitted to the Beyzbol Hall of Fame.
The dead are wrong. It’s time for Pete to enter Cooperstown, no matter what the baseball egheads could say.
For those too young to remember, Pete Rose He is one of the biggest, most exciting athletes who has ever picked up his glove. Rose remains a baseball hit hit King, with 4.256 base hits in his name, three World Series titles, 17 appearances of All-Star and more blows than you can shake off Louisville Slugger.

In 1978, the National League record of 44 consecutive matches took off. And for more than two decades, the Major League launches had nightmares about Pete Rose, dancing the third base.
Rose was a man ahead of her time, in the sense that she gambled long before American main sports, and our society as a whole accepted the habit. Of course, Rose did not simply sign up for Fanduel and put $ 50 on the Lakers. Bet on the baseball match while operating that hometown, Cincinnati Reds. This is what was shamefully launching him from the game.
It is easy to understand why Rose threw herself. Baseball was previously through scandals with cheating. The 1919 Chicago White Sox threw the world series at the request of Gambler, as shown in the book “Eight men”. The 1918 World Series could also be repaired.
The protection of the game integrity was most important for MLB Commissioners and in the baseball hall of celebrities. But as commissioner Rob Manford said, while re -established Rose, it is difficult to see what kind of damage someone can do from the grave.
There are a lot of people who would love to see Roseino exile continuing forever. They say his actions have lowered the baseball down the sliding slope, which he will never recover from. Oh, please. They overlook his size on the ground and focus on his personal flaws, which, admittedly, were numerous.
But Baseball Hall of Fame It does not exist in honor of character. If it had succeeded, they would have to overthrow the plaques of Ty Cobba, the infamous racist and the comprehensive creepy human being and countless other abusers who could swing their baton or throw bumps.
Rose’s elections did not affect the outcomes of the games, unlike the later baseball players whose use of performance remedies increased their statistics and transformed the ladder. He just got hurt.
Back in 1973, when I was 15, I cut school to watch Mets play Reds in the National League Championship series, a game marked by Pete Rose and Mets Shortstop Buddy Harrelson, entering a violent conflict that almost resulted in Mets Forfeit.
Here’s a photo of Michael Levin’s cards from Mets-row’s game, where he witnessed a friend of Harrelson-Pete Rose from 1973.

Years later, I met Rose at the Memorabilia store in Las Vegas, where he would sign a photo or a baseball at a fee. I told him I was witnessing his quarrel with Harrelson.
“We lost,” he cracked on me. “Why would I want to hear about that game?”
Rose took decades to admit gambling, probably because he never really thought he had done anything so bad. His unusual position undoubtedly cost him back to a baseball and a reception to the celebrity house in life.

Still, acknowledging Rose in Hall of Fame is now not respected by his memory. He celebrates his greatness in the memories of fans like me and younger fans who study the history of the game.

The classic baseball committee was not supposed to meet until December 2027 to determine Rose’s fate. Here’s the hope of gathering on a call for zoom today, and give Pete Rose Its along.
This man was a hall of celebrities from the moment he first put on Reds uniform. Went to death without forgiveness or revenge. It’s a mistake in Score Books Books if I ever saw it. It’s time to put the hit of the king where he belongs. On the board in Cooperstown, with the rest of the immortal. And pearl sports that clamp “experts” can appear.
