Back when was first eligible gambling and sports was strictly something for the underworld and mob. It doesn’t seem as terrible today but he had committed a severe sin in that time.
On a side note I met him in Las Vegas in 2010. I tried to thank him for what he had done for the Phillies but he ignored me. Apparently he expected to be paid if you wanted to talk with him.
He repeatedly had sex with a 14 year old girl in the 70’s among other “personal failings”—cheating, lying, gambling, tax evasion. He’s a Hall of Fame POS, dead OR alive.
Looks like the game worn jerseys I got just doubled in value… sad great ball player ….. early 90’s my father & I were at Rex’s on rt 130 in NJ… I was probably 10. dad said go get his autograph… Pete was a dick to me… my dad went over & confronted him.. big brawl …
He will be the next time they can. Nobody wanted to hear his “I told you so” speech. Baseball is so intertwined with gambling that the broadcasts give live updating odds throughout games now.
Welcome to tonight’s ballgame!! We are going to honor Pete Rose who passed today but first a word from our sponsors Draft Kings

Me and Pete in 1974.
Who cares about rules and standards? I LOVE 21st century America!
Great ballplayer, trash human. If he wanted in the hall, he shouldn’t have bet on baseball.
I used to think so, defended him until he admitted he had lied.
I won’t say anything bad about him now, he’s beyond all this & I won’t speak ill of the dead.
Don’t care if he’s ever enshrined.
Absolutely, if he didn’t bet on baseball.
He accepted the lifetime ban. He deserved everything that he got. He was a contemtible human bring who never took responsibility for his actions.
The fuck he should be in the Hall
He’s in the WWE Hall of Fame. He had a 4 year feud with Kane.
Nope. 👎
He’s a lowlife sack of shit.
There are more gambling ads than game in a typical game these days. It’s a tad hypocritical.
Plus, they should just admit several people aren’t getting in because they were complete asses like Pete Rose and Curt Schilling.
He broke the cardinal sin and paid the price.
Didn’t he admit to sleeping with a 16 year old when he was 34 (she claims she was actually younger I believe)?
Fuck Selig!

These assholes will prolly induct him now that he’s dead.
It will be the emptiest of gestures.
RIP
Disagree about the HOF.
He repeatedly had sex with a 14 year old girl in the 70’s among other “personal failings”—cheating, lying, gambling, tax evasion. He’s a Hall of Fame POS, dead OR alive.
Wouldn’t bet on him getting in.
Death is sad.
Baseball is still dull af.
Both can be true.
He cheated death until the end.
Should’ve ran for President instead / first ballot:)
100% agree. Rip.

He will get in now.
Shame on the last few commissioners for freezing him out. Ty Cobb was an awful human being and he’s in Cooperstown.

Well that sucks. I guess MLB will put him in the HOF now he’s dead. I hope his kids tell MLB to cram it.
He will be the next time they can. Nobody wanted to hear his “I told you so” speech. Baseball is so intertwined with gambling that the broadcasts give live updating odds throughout games now.
Rose will get his place.
