RIP to the hit king

Sure, why not?

If Ichiro had as many PA in MLB as Rose, with the same hit% he'd have surpassed him by 300 hits. .311 AVG to .303. If you had to pick someone for one plate appearance to get a hit, you're taking Ichiro over Rose.

Ichiro also owns the single season hits record, Rose's best season is tied for 36th with the likes of Tommy Davis. Ichiro is also 10th, and 18th.

Rose had a higher average, OBP, Slugging, OPS, OPS+, and total bases. Ichiro was a great player, but you cannot include what he did in Japan. He also had 800 more ABs in his combined career and over 1,000 more PA. His BA was 42 points higher in Japan, and his OBA was almost 70 points higher.

You're grasping at straws.

I'm not big on whataboutisms.

And personally, I really couldn’t care less about the baseball HOF. I’m just on here playing devil’s advocate because it cracks me up about the things that some will proclaim absolutes about.

And TBH, I’m not a Pete Rose fan but I was a Lawrence Taylor fan. So there you go.

Once upon a time, very high on my bucket list was a trip to Cooperstown. Now, I could not care less.

I don't have enough time to vet all the actors, singers, artists and athletes I enjoy watching. I don't care about any HOF either.

On a board that primarily exists to serve in the development of girls and young women, a thread about an accused statutory rapist is gross and everyone glorifying this scumbag should be ashamed.

Good riddance. Where's his grave? I need to use the bathroom.

I'm not coming back to this thread, so as a preemptive response to any mouth-breathers who want to continue to defend him. He admitted it happened in court filings, and here was his sexist response, in which he absolutely admits it happened, to a question about it from a couple years ago:

See here's the problem with commenting and taking your ball and going home, @CoachJD. Not one single person here said he was a saint. The man had lots of demons, and by most accounts, he wasn't a good guy. What he was to many was a baseball hero. Saying you want to piss on his grave and you're glad he's dead shows what kind of character you have. And have you ever noticed the most holier than thou in society tend to be the ones with the most to hide? Strange.

Oh, and wasn't this you attacking someone else's tongue-in-cheek post when they insulted HS softball? Lighten up. Life's too short to be this angry.
