I hope that Asian stripper he was married to got paid along the way because there is no way Pete wasn't shoving all in until the very end. Unfortunately for her, no one is paying Art Schlichter for his autograph.
If he went to hell for his various sins I hope he gets to watch Bart Giamatti getting fucked in the ass daily by the biggest black cock there.
I lost all respect for the guy when it emerged he had a long term affair with a 16 year old. Yeah, in the state he did it, technically it was legal. Does not make it right though. He was close to 30 at the time. I dunno, its not like he was drunk and woke up saying what did I do. It went on for months, that is just a seedy guy. The betting on his own team, whatever, baseball would have probably been just fine without him. It's not like a carried a team, he just punched out a lot of singles over a 25 year career. He was never a feared player.
Interesting that a lot of "greats" turn out to be "worsts" in other aspects of their lives.

The Boz: He put the Phillies over the top in 1980, for that alone he’s always a hero to me.
He batted 282 that year with 1 home run (yes 1) and 64 RBIs. I don't know about the 1980 season but its hard to believe he put the Phillies over the top. He might have helped out the team here and there, but hardly a breathtaking season. In 2024 I am not sure he would have been more than a pinch hitter in today's game.
Not to compare Pete's transgressions to OJ at all, not even close, but they kind of had similar trajectories in many ways. Possibly the two most famous icons in their sports in the 70s when I was a kid, and both seemed to end up bouncing around Vegas surrounded by shady memorabilia guys and other low lives until they died the same year.
He was never getting in while he was alive. Rumors are he would be considered once he passed away.Originally Posted by country978
As one might expect, Rose went out with a bang. Latest information just in reveals Rose, cut into the lunch line at a Floridian old folks home and in the process cut an 88 year old female occupant, who then who choked him out.He was never getting in while he was alive. Rumors are he would be considered once he passed away.

He had 185 hits playing in all 162 games. Hall of Famers Steve Carlton and Mike Schmidt both credited Pete with bringing leadership and a history of winning in the post season to a team that lost in the NL playoffs 3 years in a row before he arrived.
Your takes on him being a pinch hitter borders on comedic and pathetic. But let’s face it, most of your posts are jackass.
I remember reading about him as a kid being a great.
When I later saw his picture I thought he was retarded and was impressed that a retard could play baseball.

Rose was unbelieveable and I don't think betting on an MLB baseball game is so horriifc
Did Rose kill? It was an obvious old folks home rub out.

By the way, FUCK ESPN for putting “banned from baseball” in its headline.
There is no way Rose would have remained in the lineup in today's game hitting 1 homerun in 162 games, playing 3rd and 1st base mind you. Rose's legacy is he played in a ton of games, never got injured, but he never came anywhere close to getting 100 RBIs in a season let alone 20 homeruns. Yes he is the all time hit leader, but in today's game he never would have sniffied that. He was a slap hitter who benefited great from the lightning quick astro turf fields in the 70s and 80s. He would have got to 3000 hits for sure, but his career would have lasted as long as Wade Boggs in today's game, in other words shown the door in his mid 30s. Yes he is a Hall of Famer, but there is a clear reason why no baseball historian has Rose in their top 20. I mean his all time slugging percentage is .401 which by today's standards makes you a utility player. He is a Tony Gywnn, Wade Boggs, Ichiro type player. Nice player but never could carry a team.He had 185 hits playing in all 162 games.

As far as being a locker room guy, he by all accounts was a scum bag, dated 16 years olds, used amphetamines like candy and that little pesky thing about betting on your own team.

What position? He mostly played 1st base and 3rd base in his career, and stints in the outfield. In today's game he would probably find a home in left field, and probably batting in the 7th or 8th spot. There is just no premium in today's game for slap single hitters. It's kind of like the lumbering fullback in the NFL or a Dennis Rodman rebounder in the NBA. The game has simply changed. Nobody is generally interested in a player that gets 200 hits a year with 55 RBIs, especially playing a position like 1st base and 3rd base. In today's game in his 20s Rose would have found a home with the right team. Then when he entered his 30s he would have been a utility player gradually descending to a pinch hitter and then an ESPN employee.As a baseball player he was a standout.

Rose was like Cobb, and Robinson, and Henderson. “I’m gonna get on base and stir up a bunch of shit”. He wasn’t as fast, but he just had a knack of knocking the other team off their game. He and Mike Schmidt were the best 2 players I’ve ever seen on the same team. Saw them at Dodger Stadium in the playoffs in the early 80s.
PR was the Larry Bird of MLB
RIP Charlie hustle
Roger Clemens did the same thing, and the chick he did it with (Mindy McCready) coincidentally became a famous country music singer later. She was nice enough to defend him and claimed they waited until she was 18 until it got sexual (lol), but that wasn't true. When Clemens had sex with her, she was just an ordinary teenager, not famous at all, and the daughter of a family friend. Similar to Rose, it was a long term affair, not just a one time thing.
McCready killed herself at age 37, and had all kinds of psychological issues before that. I'm guessing these weren't Clemens' fault, but he skated away easily on this one. He was 28 at the time they first got together, when she was 15.
Horrible comparison, only made cause they are both white? Bird was a god, and I hate Boston sports.
