Greta Van Susteren pushing for Pete Rose HOF

What say you?
Rose agreed to the permanent ban. It's my understanding that he never admitted his "indiscretions" directly to the league but rather admitted vicariously through other entities. If he wants back in, he needs to put ALL his cards on the table. Being recalcitrant did not help his cause. Nobody is bigger than the game.

Is Pete Rose a Scientologist too?

NOt coincidentally, FOX hired Pete Rose.

God she is awful but I do agree with her on this.

I did support his case for the Hall until you posted that Greta Van Susteren is pushing for it.

Her baseball beliefs are almost as batshit crazy as her religious beliefs. People have no idea how serious an offense gambling is if they think Rose should be allowed in. He had plenty of time to confess and only did so fifteen years later to sell a book. He also has never shown remorse for his actions. Not overturning Giamatti's decision was probably the best thing Bud Selig did during his entire tenure.

He should be in the hall of fame. He should NEVER be in a position to impact a game though. Years ago he still wanted to manage a team. That's unacceptable, but he deserves the HOF. put all the dirt on his plaque or bust, but put him in.

MLB could lift his ban, but he still won't get voted in.

+1. I don't know why people equate his ban being lifted to being voted into the hall of fame. I have my own opinion on whether or not his ban should be lifted, but regardless if there's one thing the voters have shown is that they're stubborn enough to keep guys with hall of fame credentials out just to prove a point.

We slept together once. She's returning a favor.

With the things they are letting skate with the roid garbage MLB is really making itself look stupid by keeping Pete out.
REALLY stupid.
REALLY stupid.

My onlu issue is Pete lives in Las Vegas and signs more items at Mandalay Bay than anyone
You tell me if he will never bet on baseball again
But yeah he deserves hall and so does Bonds

One of Rose's main arguing points is that he never bet against the Reds to lose. With his proven history of lying, why should anyone take him at his word on this controversial issue? A mgr in baseball has so many ways to influence the out come of a game, especially when you consider the point spread being in play. He made his own bed, now he has to accept the consequences.

The HoF =/= Reinstatement to MLB
Why do people think that the commissioner has anything to do with Cooperstown???
