My wife had her 10 year high school reunion the same weekend they played the last game at Riverfront. It was in the top floor of a giant floating venue on the Ohio River. The Reds had a party on the floor below us. Me and another plus one guy crashed the Reds event for about 15 minutes before getting kicked out, but Pete Rose was friendly and talked to us. That’s my Rose story.
I liked his short lived broadcast career on Fox in the mid 2010’s. He used to talk about “cock high fastballs”as the studio host was mortified.
Rose filed a defamation suit against John M. Dowd in July 2016, after Dowd had alleged in a radio interview the previous summer that Rose had committed statutory rape.[88] A court document during the suit was released in July 2017 with a sworn statement alleging Rose had engaged in a sexual relationship with a minor in the 1970s.[89] In light of these new allegations, the Phillies canceled his upcoming Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fameceremony.[90] On December 15, 2017, a judge dismissed the suit when both parties reached an agreement.[91]
he had a sex with a 14/15 year old back when he was playing. he said she was 16 and thus of legal age
They’re the two most notable players I can think of being kept out of the HoF based on their actions off the field. And I understand Bonds’ actions directly affected his play on the field. But he already had a HoF career when he was still skinny Barry.
Travis Kelce and Aaron Hernandez are the two most notable most notable tight ends I can think of and they’re both known for actions off the field. Also there are players not in the hall of fame with 30-50 more WAR than Rose (scumbag)
Im also fine with someone not making the HOF if they’re a piece of shit everyone hates. You aren’t entitled to it just because you were good
What crimes has Travis committed? I was talking about illegal activities, obviously. But I get what you’re saying. And I’m cool with keeping out scumbags. But then you’d need to clear out a majority of Cooperstown.
can only do it after he’s dead to deny him the satisfaction of making it so I guess now is his chance
he’s been kept out of the hall of fame based on his 2011 obstruction of justice conviction that was overturned on appeal
Said that based on the Kelce to Hernandez comparison. But yeah, not sure. Steroids are illegal. So I guess that counts (allegedly).
