RIP Pete

Wow. The Grim Reaper is busy lately. What a great baseball player.

Should be in the HOF.

R.I.P. Pete.

RIP to the legend.

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

I wore 14 when I played little league in 5th grade. Rest in peace, Charlie Hustle. This one hurts, especially on the same day as Dikembe. Rough day for Philly sports.

Pete’s problem is he lied about gambling until he went broke and needed to sell a book. He was always on the counter attack with MLB which assured they’d never lift the ban. He’s playing resume is as HOF worthy as it gets but only has himself to blame for not getting in sadly.

Oh I know, all he probably had to do was admit the truth. But it's too late for that now and let's face it, there are a lot of people in the Hall that I wouldn't invite home for dinner.
