He was asleep when he died, therefore, he said nothing. He it been
Pete, bad timing in Pete's part here, he'd have died having never
gotten into the HOF. Think Pete would take the odds in his never
getting in?

My friends, this man has become a troll. He posts this only too upset
people. A sad existence indeed.

im willing to agree halfway on this

When Rose Got banned it was a LIFETIME BAN
Lifetime is defined a BASEBALLS lifetime

in Roses case,it should be a Lifetime ban but define it as Pete Roses
Lifetime

The day after Rose Passes away...........have the HOF take a vote
he either in or not in..........Final decision

you could do that vote for Shoeless Joe right now

this way Roses Children and grandchildren can enjoy his
accomplishments but Rose himself could NEVER capitalize on it.

He also could reapply for reinstatement after just one year according
to Bart Giamatti's agreement. He waited quite a few years before
actually applying however Butt Selig is still waiting to rule on that.

Rose should be in the Hall as a player. As a manager, banned for life from
baseball.

Here's and interesting idea. When Pete dies and I'll live to see
that, cremate him and send his ashes to the Kohler Corporation for
inclusion clay mixtures. Then he can be made into a toilet that will
be shipped to the Hall of Fame.

Once he's "installed" at the Hall of Fame, fans from all over the
country can take a dump on Pete ... every day the Hall of Fame is
open.

Actually, his ashes should be made into a urinal, considering he was a
perennial singles slap hitter. Not worthy of taking on "deuces" and
"upperdeckers".

Excellent alternative use for Pete's ashes and one that he richly
deserves.

Excuses me. You've been putting words in dead people's mouths for
months now. Basically, using the recent deaths of recognisable figures
to push your side of a debate. And HE'S a dick for calling Pete, a
certafiable piece of shit, a piece of shit and you a jagoff? Pete is
many positive things but he's also a dirtbag piece of shit. If he
makes the Hall he will sell autographs with the words Hall of Famer
beside them for a premium. You are, among other things, a jagoff. And
I can't think of anything positive to say about you except that you
are persistant.

I was feeling kinda bad about wishing for your death, even though that
wish was sincere. After all, I only know you from this forum and there
must be people who care about you. But I guess I would laugh for a
week if I learned you had walked in front of a fucking train.

Well, sadly obsessed or overwhelmingly bored may have accounted for many
posts. The death posts move him to definite troll. I generally like to give
the benefit of the doubt.

He's been a definite troll for months, if not more. If he's that into
Rose, and wants to say so in any of the newsgroups he wants to post to,
no problem, but attempts to co-opt other people's enthusiasm and
manipulate situations into essentially forcing people not inclined to
respect or admire Rose, into doing just that, is not only wrong, but
frequently inflammatory, and it's inconceivable at this point that he's
unaware of it. Even if it's not successful, it's the thought that
counts.

"Perennial singles slap hitters" don't rank #2 (all-time) in
Doubles (746).
Nor do they have 135 TRIPLES (74th all-time).

True enough. The controversy has caused some people to over-rate
Pete's accomplishments, he got on the All-Century Team ahead of Frank
Robinson, and others to vastly downgrade them The over-raters are
more numerous, I think but the downgraders make sillier remarks.

He was a clear HoF choice but three All-Time All-Star teams could
easily be picked that legitimately leave him off.

He made the most Hits and the most Outs in baseball history. Certainly
a notable careeer.

But he ranked #1 on most ABs ever, by a wide margin. And he ranked #1 in
most outs made ever, by a *huge* margin. His BA is nothing special, so he's
not that great a hitter. He only accumulated his hits because he refused to
retire and played longer than everyone else by far, while being the worst
firstbaseman ever for 6-7 years. A firstbaseman who hit zero HR 4 times is
*PATHETIC*, not great. Try to find another firstbaseman who played 8 years
at 1B and hit a total of 10 HRs and OPS in the .600s.

Imagine Ty Cobb shamelessly hung on for a few more years. Pete Rose would
still be eating Cobb's dust.

Lifetime BA:
Cobb .366
Rose .303 greatest hitter? Bwahahahahahahahahaha
