One of the greatest ever. Its such a shame he died without making HOF.

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.
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.Originally Posted by tgull
Your takes on him being a pinch hitter borders on comedic and pathetic. But let’s face it, most of your posts are jackass.
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.
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.
He was never getting in while he was alive. Rumors are he would be considered once he passed away.
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.
