re: If Pete Rose Only Bet On His Own Team

The Legend of Pete Rose far surpasses the actual player Pete Rose. Let's be honest, Pete was a very good but not great player.
Sure he is the career hits leader but he did it over 23 seasons. He played power positions (1st,3b,OF) with avg to below avg power and few SBs. he was an avg defender.
Just saying he achievements are more on the quantity side then the quality but baseball seems to reward quantity over quality. He should NOT even be in the same room with the all timers like Ruth, Mays, Gehrig, Gibson, Koufax, Bench, Gordon, etc

Put him in the asterisk wing of HoF with a sign around his neck saying I bet on my own team. Like dog shaming.

Are you seriously saying Pete Rose the player is not a hall of famer??

Huh? Baseball is not only about power hitters. He averaged almost 200 hits per season until the twilight of his career. Runs scored per season is also very high. He career batting average is above .300
