Poll question: Pete Rose - should be in, or shouldn't be in

Baseball's Hall of Fame?

[SeattleGirl]

1. Nope.

He's admitted to betting, so no, he shouldn't be.

6. If we have a morals clause with admission to Cooperstown

we better kick out a number of degenerates already there. My basis for the HOF is performance on the field. Period.

11. The difference is

excessive drinking, carousing, etc., and just plain being a bastard (Ty Cobb, Ted Williams), have never been against baseball's rules. Gambling has been for all but the earliest days.

That said, I agree with you. Nothing Rose did erases the fact that he got more hits than anyone who ever played the game.

Hell, make it clear in his shrine that he was a bad boy. But get him the hell in there.

[OllieLotte]

12. Sure...but not while he is aliv e.

I'd put him in on the first ballot, the first year after he passes away.

[outofbounds]

13. Yes

He was a great ball player. Should he be in the gambling hall of fame NO! lol

[Deja Q]

14. I propose a counter-question: Should Paris Hilton be given clemency?

:rofl:


(no)

[SeattleGirl]

15. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

If you have any questions or concerns about my answer, please PM me. If you disagree with me, I will kick your arse! :rofl:

[conscious evolution]

16. No

The first thing any baseball player sees when they walk into the clubhouse is a big poster that says thall shall not gamble on baseball and what the conseguences will be if caught doing so.
He knew the consequences that would occur if he were caught long before he placed his first bet.

Ban his ass for life.

[SeattleGirl]

17. Yup! I absolutely agreee, ce.

Ban his arse forever.

[JVS]

18. What part of banishment don't you people understand

May his name never be spoken!
