Red Sox/MLB 2024 Playoffs: Sox finish .500 - MLB legend Pete Rose has died at the age of 83

#2 is all I need. Ueck is 90 years old, he deserves to see a title

Also, honorable mention, does that lady still sit behind home plate?

No, she passed a few years ago

I am conflicted about Pete Rose

Something to remember about Pete Rose: he’s in the Hall of Fame. There is a sizable collection of his artifacts and numerous displays in the museum. What the HOF doesn’t have is his plaque in the Plaque Room. That’s it.

The truth is, if he had been contrite he could have turned into one of baseball’s best ambassadors. He could have been the one leading the way on promoting to others a way out of gambling addiction.

He didn’t.

If you don’t think he could have pulled that off, just look at what Alex Rodriguez has done to resurrect his image.

Just my opinion, but...

...as far as I'm concerned, Pete Rose should never get into the Hall of Fame.

I never liked him and do not feel bad that he's not in the HOF.

Another reason why the DBacks are getting screwed here


Dear lord this is hilarious

Chaim Bloom has no business running an organization like the Cardinals. He was never even head guy in Tampa, failed miserably in Boston. He should be an assistant GM or at BEST the lead guy in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Oakland.

How did he “fail miserably in Boston”? He did exactly what ownership wanted him to do, and the dude who replaced him is continuing that same trajectory. Bloom wasn’t the issue, it was Henry and co not wanting to spend any money.

He’s one of the biggest dirtbags to have ever lived. No hall for him. The gambling was bad but he’s done far worse and doesn’t belong.

It’s the underage women accusations for me that’s a disqualifier

Exactly. 34 years old, married with 2 kids and sleeping with a 14 year old girl? And his excuse? I thought she was 16. JFC no. The world is a better place today.
