Interesting story on Pete popped up on my FB feed this morning. Not that difficult to imagine kids today having no idea who Pete was - and nice to see he still had a spark in him that drew him back to the game he loved.

RIP pete.
amazing talent.

however,
he signed the documents from A. Bartlett Giamatti accepting the lifetime ban.

here is why even betting On your Team is bad.

you will leave a pitcher in too long or put a guy in as pinch hitter in a game you should let go of because you have to think long term not short term as a manager.

you simply cannot fukking bet on the game period end of story.

he did Not deserve to be anywhere near the HOF.

simple rule. do Not bet on the games when you are a player or manager. period.

unpopular decision, but the Correct Decision.

baseball and i am right. You are Wrong.
The HOF has no official ties to MLB, and at the time of his acceptance of the ban he was still fully eligible for the HOF.

He did this to put the issue behind him & MLB- to move forward.

Giamatti, in a smoke filled room, coerced the HOF to later modify its rules regarding eligibility to include MLB status, and Rose, as banned, became ineligible after the fact.

They fukked him.

As gambling becomes more prevalent in our society, as it has with legalized domestic books etc..., the fact he bet on games will not keep him from the HOF. It's just a matter of time, just like the steroid era guys will eventually all get in too.

Impressions change as time goes by.

all of you are wrong, bro. sorry.

pete was betting on his team daily. Daily. DAILY.

baseball is a 162 game season.

managing a team is about knowing when to pull your ace pitcher when he is getting shelled, to preserve his arm for the season.

even if you are betting ON your own team, you are messing with the integrity of the game and doing a disservice to everyone involved.

if you are more concerned about winning Today's Game more than anything else, you are very apt to make decisions that will hurt your team in the long run of a 162 game season.

the rule is the rule for a reason.

no betting.

period.

another example.

college basketball coach bets on his team -10 points and he is up by 14 with 90 seconds to go.

he is nervous about not covering he keeps his star player in the game when under Normal Circumstances without the wager, he would take him out.

in those 90 seconds the bball player tears his ACL or rolls his ankle because he stayed in the game and was told to score the ball (coach wanted to protect the ATS bet).

do you catch my drift?

the object is to win the game, and in baseball more than any other sport, you have to preserve your pitchers and catchers and know when to fold them because it is a marathon.

"i bet on baseball and i was wrong"

- pete rose in 2004 a full 15 years after he was caught red-handed.

RIP

amazing player. incredible player.

broke the rules now pay the price, even in death.

Guess who was the first person elected to the Baseball HOF?

Ty Cobb.

Ty Cobb killed a man in a street fight.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen.

According to baseball, placing a bet is far more grievous than killing someone.

18 year olds can vote and can go join the military and fight our battles against other countries but they cannot drink legally until age 21.

it is not apples to apples. in life, rarely anything is apples to apples.

No, Ty Cobb did not kill a man:
  • Al Stump's biography
    The first biographer of Cobb, sportswriter Al Stump, claimed that Cobb confessed to killing a man in a Detroit alley in 1912. However, a 1996 examination of newspaper reports and autopsy records found no record of any deaths from blunt-force trauma in Detroit in August 1912.

Not so fast.

By 1994, Albert Stump's version, in his own TC bio, pp. 212, had evolved to this. "like a blade and the butt end as well,

he slashed away until the man's face was faceless. Left him there, not breathing, in his own rotten blood." "Cobb believed

he killed this mugger. A few days later a press report told of an unidentified body found off Trumbull in an alley."
