Hey sports writers across America, Rose may have bet on baseball but do you 'really' think he later asked 'all' his players to take a dive??! Dumb asses! He was betting no different than I would in Vegas! Hell, there is so much betting going on that even current ball players have relatives or friends betting on the side for them!! And 'Dick and Dick in the morning on ESPN have the gull to say that betting is worse than doping! Illegal is illegal under the rules of baseball airheads!! Is it better for a robber to steal a car, break into a person's home, but damn him to hell if he kills someone???? "GET REAL DICK AND DICK IN THE MORNING!"

Rose is a disgrace and an abomination. He is a stain that should NEVER be allowed in the Hall of Fame. He also took drugs and maybe steroids during his career.

Your steroid allegations, where did that come from? In all the trash talked about Pete Rose, that's a new one. Gee, how come the torch-bearing mobs that ruined his career never accused him of that? Could it be because you just made it up? The TRUTH is that like most compulsive gamblers, Pete Rose consistently lost money, even while betting on his own team. Pete Rose gambled like Babe Ruth drank whiskey: daily. There's a difference between CHEATING at the game (by pumping your gluteus full of steroids or HGH, or, as baseball crybaby and CHEATER Barry Bonds calls it, "the cream") and having a compulsive personality disorder, and people who can't see that difference should leave the subject, and Pete Rose, alone.

Pete Rose STILL acts like a 12 year old. He wishes ill of EVERYBODY who does good, and he wishes ill of everybody who does bad. You CAN'T TARNISH THE GAME IN ANYWAY......NO WAY AT ALL....OR IT WILL NEVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN. MIGHT AS WELL HIRE HULK HOGAN!!!!

5,000 HITS! WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A NEW WEBSITE! PETE IS EXACTLY RIGHT. HE WOULD HAVE RECORDS NOW THAT ARE UNTOUCHABLE IF HE WAS JACKED UP ON 'ROIDS LIKE THE REST OF THESE FAKE BALLPLAYERS. "BARRYROID" YOU MAKE ME SICK TO LOOK AT THAT UGLY OVERBLOWN HEAD OF YOURS AND TO PUT YOU ABOVE THE "BABE" IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE SACRED SPORT BASEBALL USED TO BE! BONDS YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH MOST SPORTS PROGRAMS TODAY. YOU AND MARK AND SAMMY ARE ON THE LEVEL OF (HAH!)"PRO" WRESTLIN' AND ARE A MOCKERY OF WHAT A PURE ATHLETE USED TO BE IN SPORTS. THE COMMISSIONER OF BASEBALL IN 1994 HAD A CHANCE TO RIGHT THE GAME BEFORE RECORDS OF ATHLETES LIKE HANK AARON AND THE BABE WERE SHATTERED, BUT DECIDED INSTEAD TO TURN HIS HEAD THE OTHER WAY. WHO CAN DETERMINE NOW WHAT RECORDS WERE CLEANLY BROKEN WITHOUT BIONIC HELP FROM DRUGS? THE NATIONAL PASTTIME HAS BEEN "DESTROYED" AND WHO CARES ABOUT BASEBALL ANYMORE! NOW, THIS SICKNESS IS DESTROYING RECORDS IN MOST OTHER SPORTS ALSO AND RUINING THE LEGACY OF THE PAST TRUE GREATS. HOW MANY OF THESE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYERS REGULARLY TAKE ROIDS IN THE HOPES OF A PROFESSIONAL CAREER? MAYBE THAT 'BARRY' WHO PLAYED ON THE LIONS WAS A PUMPED UP FREAK-MAYBE 'TO' IS A PUMPED UP FREAK-WHO REALLY FREAKIN' CARES ABOUT RECORDS ANYMORE-JUST WIN THE DAMN GAME AND THE HELL WITH EVERYONE ELSE!

Pete Rose supposedly took "greenies" during his playing days, which was not uncommon among players from that era. He was a tremendous competitor who would do anything to win. It was that competitiveness to win that ultimately led to his downfall, because he started betting on baseball to overcome his gambling losses. And ironically, he did win a majority of his bets when he bet on baseball, but by flagrantly breaking the rules that say you can't bet on the game while you're involved in it as a player or manager, it turned out to be his biggest gambling loss. It cost him his livelihood, millions of dollars, the Hall of Fame and ultimately respect from many of his fans.

I wish Pete the best; he was always my favorite player when I was a kid growing up in Ohio. He'll never make the Hall of Fame, but he'll have lots of company among the baseball greats that won't end up there, either. Rose, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, along with Shoeless Joe Jackson will all end up on the outside looking in.

When Pete, Bowa, Smitty, and Terry Harmon use to play his guitar up at the Stadium Club, remember it well. Greg, Garry, it was like it was yesterday. Yes, we all drank, and yes we liked to bet. Sorry that Pete ended up betting on baseball.

But the we had Darrell Strawberry, and those like him taking and abusing drugs right and left. Now we have all these "Super Stars" that became this way because of what they took. But Commish Bud keeps allowing these people to come back to the game and play, yet he denies Pete, one of the best players who ever played this game, from the Hall of Fame.

Money talks, and Bullshit walks. Yes Pete was wrong, but not to the point where he should be denied the Hall after what those who came after him have done what they did.

He is right, if the likes of McGwire ever gets into the Hall, Petey deserves to go. He didn't bet when he was playing, only as a manager. Players juiced up and changed the game.

It is time to put Pete Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He did not need performance enhancers...HE HAD REAL TALENT!!! Now we have a new Home Run King** who needs astericks by his name. But Hank Aaron did not need steroids...he spoke with his bat. If Barry Bonds ever gets into the Hall of Fame it should be over Pete Rose's dead body....which accordning to Bud Selig...it just might happen that way!!! Hang in there Mr Rose....you are in my Hall of Fame!!!!!!! And you deserve to be in the one in Cooperstown....SOOOOON!!!

Triple T is 100% correct -- Rose would have had ridiculous numbers. He probably would have had 30-50 more doubles, along with a few dozen more home runs instead of the fly outs that he had, each year. Players would have avoided the guy at all costs when he came in with a um...Pete Rose slide. I doubt he'll ever get inducted, and gambling is definitely a very (veddy veddy) bad thing to do while your still involved in the game. Rose will always be included with the 1919 White Sox, while these new batch of players should be barred and placed in another incarceration/doggie cage. It sucks for Petey - He would have many more players and fans on his side if he just told the truth.

Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. If these hopped up 'roid heads get in, I will lose all respect for the "Hall" anyway, I would much rather see a gambling addict with true numbers, than a hop head, 'roid machine with bogus numbers taint the game. Rose's numbers are real, I don't care if he took a thousand "greenies", they didn't turn him into Popeye. Rose was one of the best who ever played the game.

I'm not into making statements that can't be proved or are not constructive to the issue at hand.

To me the situation is like a crime of opportunity because there were no checks and balances. The damage has been done, and the people in charge need to move quickly to end the doubts from here on forward. If a specific charge can be proven and a date established, remove them from the records from that date forward. This will do very little for the "runner ups" that now would get the award but it would be fair in the court of law.

Institute a checking program. The penalty for violating the rule needs to be swift and hard so we don't hear "were sorry we got caught" excuses or they try to go to "drug / hormone therapy" to escape responsibility.

Just like any business, once a rule is made there will be people looking for loop holes and other ways around the rule. The baseball commission needs to form a committee that will not get influenced by the player's union or the team owners,that looks forward to future threats. Ideally the committee could eventuall that authority over the big 4 sports (baseball, football, basketball, & hockey)

Baseball enjoys a very inportant status. They are the only organization that enjoys a sanctioned monopoly status from Congress. Failure to correct the situation should be grounds for Congress to think about their options.

The "Hall of Fame" is already a sham because Pete Rose is "ineligible" to be inducted. Look at his records and accomplishments! NO ONE has, or will, hold all those records, including today's steroid freaks.

If Rose is not admitted into Hall Of Fame the League
ought to dump the Commissioner Perhaps also investigate him for conspiracy to obstruct justice by knowingly allowing the distribution of controlled
substances and blocking any investigations of said and their usage by players. He, not Rose is a disgrace to the game.

I agree with Rose. If Bonds an Mark McGuire get in so should he. At Rose wasnt on drugs like the player of today. Such a shame they had to use drugs. It ruins the game of baseball. Babe Ruth should keep the record he wasnt on drugs.

Pete Rose bet that his team was better than the other team. What is wrong with having faith in your abilities and that of your teammates. Pete Rose would have been wrong to bet against his team. Pete's character is not being inducted to the hall of fame, his accomplishments are. If you want to preserve the character of the hall of fame then half the inductees should be banned.

Pete is the reason I became interested in baseball and then a huge fan. No one slid in to the bases like Pete did. It's a real shame that the Commiss does not see the worth in putting Pete in the Hall of Fame, because without Pete, the Hall of Fame is worthless.
