I was a huge fan, until I wasn't. But the years have softened my feelings toward the man. He was the ultimate competitor, no one ever questioned his effort and he belongs in the Hall of Fame. RIP Pete

I wish they had let him in the HOF as a player. They could have left the ban in place for working in MLB, but he deserved to see his bust to in!

RIP to one of the greatest ever.

Unbelievable how many iconic figures are shuffling off lately. Love or hate him (and I did both at various times), as a Phillies fan, I have to acknowledge Pete's contribution to the sport. RIP.

Charley Hustle will get in the hall post mortem. It was just petty adherence to tradition at this point.

Bonds is sadly going to get the treatment

Also Rose passing on the year when absolute gambler Ohtani wins the MVP is some irony
