Of course he belongs. It's not a reward. It is for the fans, who do not see the greatest hitter now when they go.

Define great. He had longevity and consistency. His batting average was decent.

Rose is money-hungry pig and a decrepit human being. Latest evidence being that his admission and non-apology came via a book and not a press conference. That Gammons should turn on him after all these years speaks it all to me.

Selig must continue the lifetime ban from baseball and put his Hall consideration on the shelf for 2 years. For then, the time period for sportswriter voting is up and it goes to the veterans committee. And lets see if Yogi and Gibson and Lefty and the rest of the true greats vote for their "peer"

My brother just emailed me from his blackberry:

"Pete Rose is on my flight from NY to LA."

I suspect he's throwing back a cocktail or two after the week he's had.

Or is checking the over/under on the flight's arrival time...

If I told you I'm growing out my hair, and that it might soon be long enough to yank my head back when you are fucking me from behind, would you consider a trip to Texas?

And in other news...

Internet travel sites Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia all crashed simultanously this evening due to an unprecedented rush of traffic by customers seeking flights to Texas. Details are sketchy at this time as to what in Texas caused the rush on the sites...

Nobody freaking goes to Cooperstown anyway. It's too far from anywhere.

Rose is not the greatest hitter. He has the most base hits in the regular season of the north american major leagues, but he's not the greatest hitter ever. Using the "I'm down to one out, runners on first and second, down by one run, who do I want up at the plate," I'd go with:

1. Ruth
2. Williams
3. Bonds
(a lot of other people, including Hank Aaron, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, Canseco in his prime, Amos Otis)
Rose comes somewhere fairly far down the list

Little kids are looking at Ty Cobb's stats, 2nd most hits, and saying let's go see no. 1, where's he?
putting aside the evolution of talent, (ie Ruth in his prime would probably not be a minor leagurer today) your list is crazy.

If you don't put Ty Cobb up before Ruth, people are going to accuse you of betting on the game.

great as in most hits. agreed on why.
bad human being? didn't Ruth hire whores 7 at a time? that has got to fuck with a girl's confidence in her professional abilities.

Notwithstanding his issues about money, it's clear why he's a catch.







Can't believe this one was just sitting there.

Long post with lots of stats deleted. Never mind.

There's one rule posted on every Clubhouse wall. And it ain't "there's no crying in baseball" It ain't "no 7 whores on a match"

Fucker deserves to be given a vote and then shunned by his peers.

I second the motion. If his peers reject him, it might just shut him up.

Not if there's a chance that he will make some money by talking. That's all he's about.

I did that, but it weirded me out when ESPN would go to static.
