Pete Rose admits to betting on baseball and i admit i dont care

[Espo]

Pete rose apparently admits to betting on major league baseball in his book that comes out on tuesday. The real question is does anyone really care? The man deserves to be in the hall of fame but he should never be allowed to coach in the pros again. I think this is just a shameless ploy by a desperate man to make some money off of his own faults. This is more to sell books then to come clean. He wants to make money of his admission instead of must coming out in one of the millions of interviews he has done over the years. i think this is horrible. This guy is a loser. I hope after this and after gettin into the hall he isnt talked about much.

I wish he would just go away. He's an idiot and even if he gets into the Hall eventually, he'll be remembered more for being an A-hole about his betting on baseball and years of denial when questioned about it than for being "Charlie Hustle."

"Charlie Hustle?" ... More like "Charlie Hustler."

Alright...... So now we know what we already knew anyways.... Can we get over the Pete Rose deal now? Place him into the HOF and be done with it already>>>>>>>>

Not only is he a compulsive gambler, he is a liar.

He slandered Bart Giamatti and now because he confesses that he did gamble, he should be in the Hall of Fame. I say "take a hike Pete!"

I agree Pete Rose is a bad guy and a bad role model. He is a coumpulsive liar and gambler.
There are quite a few guys in the Hall which are bad guys. Just look and Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb. Cobb was a pure racist.
Rose's performance on the field has earned him a spot in the hall. I also agree that he should not be able to have a job in baseball.

Great post. He should be in the hall for what he did between the lines and he should be banned from coaching or any other contact with the league for what he did off it.

Somewhere Jim Gray is crying that he didn't get the exclusive.

My feelings exactly.

Shoeless Joe Jackson should be allowed in, too. He was not a leader in the Black Sox scandal; he was a reluctant follower. It's time for his skills to be recognized as well.
