God damn shame what MLB did to him. I was blessed to watch a decent amount of his career and saw him play in person many, many times. Even had him sign a ball for me back when I was a kid.

He earned that Charlie Hustle nickname every game. Hell of a ballplayer.

Was never a fan of Pete since he played on teams that were in direct competition against my Pirates. But I always respected the way he played the game. He’s the type of guy I would have loved if he played on my team.

I wouldn't be surprised if the MLB gives him a place in the HOF posthumously as a final fuck you. MLB sucks donkey dicks that bad.

Sort of ironic that he passed on the last day of the regular season.

Wonder if how long it will take for him to be inducted into the HOF?

Jim Gray took so much shit for that. Rightfully so. Such an asshole.

Immediately after that, the Yankees had a walk off home run to win a WS game. Jim Gray went on the field to interview the star of the game and the player snubbed his ass. He said something like "After what you did to Pete I don't think I'm going to do any interviews out here on the field with you "

If they let him in immediately it will futher infuriate people. But it was a "lifetime ban" and he's no longer alive so...

I'm guessing maybe 10 years - or if there is a commissioner shake up they'll use that as an opportunity to put him in.

If ypu've never been to Cooperstown, the HOF is actually loaded with Pete Rose memorabilia and accolades.

They don't deny his greatness and accomplishments.

He just isn't inducted as a player.

The way he lights up during that Cowherd interview is great.

When he was on MLB Network it was must-watch TV. His approach to hitting and his knowledge of the game were top notch. And he had hilarious baseball stories for days.
