Not everyone views him the same way, but I don’t think there’s any denying that Pete Rose, now lost to the World of Baseball, was one of the greats. I never agreed with your decision to wager on your team, Pete, but man did I love watching you play . . . RIP.
In the last few days we've witnessed a spate of passings. Maggie Smith, Kris Kristofferson, and now, Pete Rose. All of them enriched our lives in many different ways.
Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo Was a great, died this morning of Brain cancer.
Back in 1979 at his first year with the Phillies spring training, my wife and I met him and his children. He was one of the few players that took time to greet fans. RIP Pete.
He made a poor personal choice. I doubt anyone alive hasn't made a poor personal choice in their life at some point. I hope now that he has passed he will be posthumously inducted into the HOF. His career certainly merits the induction.
I always felt he should have been put into the HOF during his lifetime. We all have skeletons in the closet & not just that, much more horrible people continue to have stars on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame", I.E. Bill Cosby. A decade or so ban would have been fair. But, it doesn't matter anymore, hopefully he will finally be placed into it.
