He may not have been perfect, but athletes could learn from his hustle and determination. Pete Rose dead at age 83.
RIP to the hit king

I hate baseball for never letting him in the Hall of Fame.
Yes, I understand all the drama behind all of it and no I don't care. On the field that man was a Hall of Famer, off the field he was not.
Hope all of those assholes are happy now.

yes I am. because he's a scumbag and a cheater. He doesn't deserve a plaque.
Wow! You're a low-life. Imagine being happy at someone else's death. Your 10U rec league must love you...

again, he's a scumbag. I'm happy he didn't get in the hall in his lifetime. I don't give a crap about his death one way or another.

This is a softball forum. He's a pedophile. You piss off with this stuff.
Whatever you say, 10U Town Ball King.
For the record; the MLB HOF is not for moral character. It is designed to celebrate performance on the field. Rose is the all-time hit king. What kept him out was his gambling as a manager, which we all understand is a big no-no. Keeping him out seemed petty.
Was he a saint? No, but the same could be said about most public figures. So, before we all jump on our moral high horses, I suggest we look inwards before we criticize others. Pete Rose was a phenomenal ball player, even if he was of suspect moral character off the field. Celebrating his death doesn't make you better than him, though.
