So only conservative white men can be fans of baseball or its history?

Even if Pete only bet in the Reds to win, there were certain pitchers he didn't trust.

So it should not be surprising that Trump got involved given the fact that his base seems to love Pete.


Does that same base and Trump know Pete fricked a 14-year-old girl?

Zero reason ManFRAUD didn't do this when he was still alive. It's asinine.

LOL

Are you miffed about this reality for some reason? It’s not like we’re gatekeeping other demos out of caring about Pete Rose

That weirdo doesn't belong anywhere near the Hall of Fame. He's rubbed me the wrong way since he was still playing and I was a little kid.

Time tends to smooth over the wrongs people do, and bring their lives into soft focus. That is a trend we should recognize and fight. It gets pretty sickening, watching people like John Hinckley and potentially the Menendez Brothers walk out of prison. Seeing Rose in the HOF would feel similarly, to me at least.

No I detest political pandering of all shapes, sizes, parties and philosophies. Politics sullies everything it touches outside the political realm, where it should remain.

I’m so excited about this one. Pete has always been my favorite player. I wonder if he will be a first ballot or they will string him along for awhile?

Pete will not be voted on by the writers in the regular election. He is no longer eligible to be part of that. His case will be considered by one of the veterans committees that only meet every couple of years or so. His fans shouldn't buy their plane tickets to Cooperstown just yet.

I mean we have court records that Trump visited Epstein island at least seven times...so no they don't care.

At least he’s not as draconian as Goodell. But he still sucks in some ways that are much worse than goodell.

Link?

ETA: those flights were in the 90’s between Palm Beach and New York. Never to Epstein Island, unlike Clinton.
