As a Yankees I have nothing but the upmost respect for Pete Rose. A great hard-nosed player who always gave it everything he had on the baseball diamond. He is and will always be a Hall of Famer. MLB should be ashamed of itself for the way they treated him. RIP Pete 🙏
Pete Rose is not in the brick and mortar Hall of Fame, but Charlie Hustle is in the Hall of Fame of baseball fans hearts, including this old Tigers fan heart. WHAT A BALLPLAYER!!!
@@mmjhcbhe earned his way on the field. Period. Where is the integrity in Baseball allowing roid users to break the records of all time greats. They KNEW, as the whole world knew, these guys CHEATED to attain their accomplishments. Pete, did not.
@@curtisd2842 It's like the old, "Mommy, he did it, too" So that excuses you? No one disputes his play, but he KNOWINGLY broke the rules,then LIED about it for years. He actually rejected a chance to come clean in the beginning and be rehabilitated, allowing him a return to baseball Applaud his play, but he was no great shakes otherwise.
I don't believe no one will Pass PETE ROSE in hits .As For The HOF. Who cares he's in the Red HOF that's all that matters . Rip i watched you for yrs appreciated how you played.....
I have been in Cooperstown twice. I was in the hall of fame lobby, but refused to enter. It's not a hall of fame without the player who had the most ABs, most PA & most Hits. It's simply another sports museum.
steroids destroyed the record books. the mlb owners and commish knew it but the HRs boosted ticket sales so they did nothing. steroids damaged the game more than Rose did by a million miles.
Rose did less damage because MLB took his cheating seriously and provided a strong deterrent against gambling. And, yes, it took too long to take steroids seriously
When I heard that, at 83, Pete Rose may not have been attended by anyone at the time of his death, after which he was "discovered" by a family member, my heart broke to think that he came to such a sad end. I echo the sentiment of others who also believe that Pete DESERVES to be in the HOF. His induction SHOULD NOT have had to be posthumous. SHAME on "the FAME!"
Pete Rose was the reason I got into baseball 40+ years ago. Everyone passes but when it's one of your baseball heroes it's still a bit shocking. RIP. Will they now FINALLY put Charlie Hustle in the HOF already...
Love seeing his statue honored and decorated, im an hour south and when i heard the news yesterday i wanted to just go hang out by his statue.Glad others did❤ RiP Pete Rose. God bless Cincinnati
This man deserves to be on the Hall of Fame. It disgusting that he wasn’t inducted in his lifetime. He served his lifetime ban, it’s time to put him in the HOF where he belongs.
I may be wrong, but I recall Pete as the first player I remember sliding head first, which is now the preferred method. Had a Pete Rose poster on my bedroom wall as a kid, even though I lived in Boston. As far as I’m concerned, the greatest hitter of all time. 🙏 Rest In Peace Charlie Hustle. ❤️🫡
@carl I heard the same thing years ago got a chance to meet him about 10 years ago. In Vegas got a signed ball and took pictures with him and my family. Nice guy still got ball and pictures.
Grew up a Big Red Machine fan and actually lived in Cincinnati for a couple years back in the mid 1990's. Skyline Chilli, LaRosa's Pizza , Montgomery Inn Ribs & the Great Pete Rose! RIP Pete!
MLB practicing unforgiveness to that man for DECADES is a sickening and vile example of inhumanity. 🥺 Now he's gone! 4,256 hits. May his record endure through the ages! RIP Pete Rose 😭
Pete deserved the ban or gambling but he also deserved to be on hof ballot...hof changed the rules in 1991 and would not allow suspended players to be on ballot , petty bs move
@@leodrosia4369if only he was a big enough man to admit what he had done and not lied for so many years about it maybe he would be in the Hall of Fame.
This is why baseball is my least favorite sport, the sports writers absolutely control the sport. Rose belongs in the HOF. He never bet on his team to lose. It's tragic he didn't live to get inducted to the HOF.
I will never, ever visit or spend a dime in Cooperstown! Now that he has passed on they will put him in. I know what he's done. And I can pull a list of fifty out of there and name terrible things that they had done. Growing up in the seventies he was every young mans favorite. Didn't matter what your team was. God bless you Pete and your loved ones.
Lifetime ban? Fine. His life has ended, as should the ban. Baseball has had an active relationship with gambling sites for about 15 years now. MLB has agreed to put a franchise in Las Vegas. I'm old enough to remember when that was literally blasphemy against the tradition of the game. Today, it's all about the dollars and the league doesn't care where those dollars come from or which fans they are catering to. When you are charging $50 for a seat in the outfield, you are not trying to preserve anything about the legacy of the game; you are cashing in at every opportunity, plain and simple. End the hypocrisy once and for all: Put Pete Rose in the Hall.
@@NeilTruick i have mixed thoughts on it. Might be a slap in his face of his memory, too late for him to benefit from it. And as you said its become all about the dollar for them. Not games anymore just business. Glad i enjoyed the better times of baseball
This is what bugs me about R21. A lifetime ban is arbitrary & makes no sense. How do you know when the punishment is completed or restitution is made? Never? There’s no way to make amends. To die? It flies in the face of a rational society, is unjust and senseless.
I got to see Pete play a four game set in Philly when my ship was in the Navy Ship Yard there. He was playing at third base and never threw the ball back to the pitcher the same way after an out. Between his legs or rolled it back. Sometimes he would just throw it back normally. But always different.
Pete always was and will be my favorite baseball player next to Ty Cobb. Both baseball players exhibited a tenacity, dedication, work ethic, and genuine love for the game that made them legendary, formidable, and two of the greatest baseball players ever. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and loved ones.
I was just a baby when I heard about my sister went to high school with Pete rose and I grew up watching the Reds when he was always a good baseball player and he will be surly missed in my heart ❤
For young ball players today who don't know who Pete Rose was and what he was about when it came to playing baseball let me explain it to you this way, Pete Rose was the living embodiment of a "Hard 90". However he didn't expect his coach and the world to praise him for his Hard 90. He embodied that Hard 90 because it was what he and his teammates expected from him and everyone else on the team. In an era when hard, tough men played the game with determination, grit and guts, Pete Rose did that to the nth degree. In his day every player played with toughness and gave everything they had every single day, Pete Rose played tougher and harder and with more determination that all of them. He earned his way to stardom. He didn't show up to the big leagues with a shoe deal and an entourage. And that's saying something because he played at a time when if player didn't try to break up a double play, that player's own teammates would take them to task and maybe even swing a punch at them. Whatever he did off the field, what he did on the field speaks for itself. I take solace in the fact that Pete "Charlie Hustle" Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson are standing by the batting cage getting Pete ready for his first game in the Real Big Leagues.
Rest in Peace Mr. 🌹 You should have been in shrine in that Hall of Fame a very long time ago baseball should be ashamed of themselves of what they did to this awesome hitter of baseball ⚾ 4,256 no one will break his hit record also three times batting 🏆 champ part of the Big 🍒 Machine of the 70's RIP Pete.
MJ was a prick to many people. But he was 110% committed to the game. And it was an amazing ride. Same with Pete. As a player you have to respect and love what he did. And that’s about it.
What the H happened... Pete was up and out on Sunday in Nashville Tenn. and went home to Vegas and found dead on Monday? What the Hell happened? We loved Charlie, and all who loved the game were waiting to celebrate with you Charlie the decision to have a forgiving heart and watch you take home that well deserved HOF trophy . Sure gonna miss you my friend! You were like our neighbor. one of the good ones.
He was the heart of the BIG RED MACHINE one of the greatest teams to ever play. Joe Morgen Johnny Bench probably the 2 best at their position in the NL
I lost respect for Bench because he spoke against Rose being in the HOF . He never bet on games they played ( and look at the betting that is happening now that is ruining sports as a whole ) and we have people in the HOF who have done far worse in life, BUT are still there. SO to stop one of the greatest players that ever lived from being inducted is a scumbag move in my opinion.
Did you see his interview today with Dan Patrick? Go check it out. Bench has always been consistent. Pete broke the rules of MLB. Bench isn't on the rules committee. He doesn't have a vote on the outcome. He's not stopping anything. I think most people, including Bench would like to see Pete in the HOF.
@@stevesullivan762 I suggest you go listen to dozens of shows that Bench was on where including Patricks in 2018 he stated Rose did not belong in the HOF and it is the The Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) who selects inductees to the National Baseball Hall of Fame Plus they take Input from HOF members to make that decision and that would include those like Bench and others like Morgan etc etc AND look at todays betting on every pitch, batter, play etc in ALL Sports and yes BY players whether you believe it or not. Sports are rigged and they are based on the BETTING and NOTHING else....and there are many in the HOF whose own off and on field actions should disqualify them and the use of steroids and other such things and yet many are still in the HOF for far worse than what they accused Rose of...PERIOD !!! HOF needs to be based on a Players Game play and what they contributed to the sport, and NOTHING else, because it is a discrimination board and we see that over the decades....time that crap STOPPED
Too bad players don't own their clips and stats (like musicians) so the HOF wasn't allowed to play or relate or mention them without paying Pete Rose a royalty fee every time they're used. Unless, of course, he was a member of the HOF. Oh, wait.... the HOF mentioning his stats about a million times makes Pete a member WITHOUT an asterisk in my book.
It was because of the 1919 White sox scandal that MLB took such a hard line against Pete Rose. I get it. He knew the entire time he was gambling that he was risking his career and legacy. Pete Rose certainly should be in the HALL OF FAME but because of Pete Rose, he isn’t.
Not even similar to 1919 sox. The 1919 Chicago White Sox threw the World Series for a group of gamblers led by Arnold Rothstein, a notorious New York crime boss. Rose bet on himself and his team to win through bookies. Conflating the 2 is an insult to our intelligence.
@@jeffreywillis4258 It’s GAMBLING and it’s what caused MLB to take such a hard stance against anyone associated betting on baseball you have no intelligence if you can’t comprehend that.
@@richpaydirt Yes captain obvious both are gambling but one was a team losing on purpose for money the other bet on himself to win. For that reason, If Rose had admitted to his error he'd probably be in the Hall despite the gambling. His big mistake was lying about the gambling not the gambling itself.
I was a big fan growing up but let's not be ridiculous. They won two championships in that era. The Oakland Athletics won three in a row including one over the Cincinnati Reds.
@@wvmountaineer69 Would have, could have, should have. Those words have never been spoken in reference to the greatest team ever. The greatest teams shine when it matters the most. The Reds came up short many times in that area. They lost the playoffs in 1973 against a team that was 82 - 79 in the regular season. The Reds had a very mediocre pitching staff and were often bested by far superior pitching in the postseason.
Pete got life time ban from the HALL OF FAME. WELL..... His Lifetime is OVER. Now Joe Jackson is still banned but he bet against his team. Rose bet on his team as a manager. both are wrong but there is a BIG Difference between the 2 and Rose paid for it for his WHOLE Life. And now his family shoud finally get to see him get in the HALL Where he longs.
there are cocaine addicts, alcoholics, speed freaks. and we will see some steroid users in there. why not the greatest hitter? RIP Mr. Rose. rest in glory.
Pete Rose, MLB All-Time hits leader, is dead at the age of 83. He said the record he was proudest of was playing in the most winning games in history. He apparently died in Clark County Nevada; That is where Las Vegas is located. So, I guess you can say he died in church. RIP.
I was a big fan of Pete Rose and the reds when I was growing up. I loved the way he played the game, but he brought this on himself by continually lying about what he did. If you want to hear from his fans you have to take the bad with the good.
@@martyharless5097 the man gambled on games he had nothing to do with, right? Yet the same fans, MLB and HOF celebrates drunks drug abuses, wife beaters, racist and worse.
Johnny Bench and Tony Perez and MLB could have gone to the fans and said Pete had a gambling addiction at the time and he got some counselling for it and now he is forgiven and back in the game and eligible for the hall. But, the people who run what happens on the field from the Majors have always been tyrants. RIP Charley Hustle. Your play inspired me to always run and always cover for my teammates.
It looks like Pete is going to go the way of Shoeless Joe Jackson- one of the greatest players that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and it cost him dearly!
Congratulations to Pete Rose future induction into the HOF. We all knew that this was a CHILDISH VENDETTA, that wouldn't end, until he was DEAD. I'm sorry he had to go through all that. RIH.
As a Yankees I have nothing but the upmost respect for Pete Rose. A great hard-nosed player who always gave it everything he had on the baseball diamond. He is and will always be a Hall of Famer.

Petes son Pete Junior won a AAA baseball championship with The Winnipeg Goldeyes.. Kinda cool that baseballs greatests son played for my hometown team
A real star
Like Pete said don't put me in hof after I die !!!!!¡!
Pete Rose had a "LIFETIME" ban from baseball. Now lets do the right thing and put him in the HOF where he belongs!
Pete Rose was the best baseball player ever !
Shame on the Hall of Fame…
it doesn t matter what they say, pete. "you are a hall of famer in my book!"
Pete Rose, MLB All-Time hits leader, is dead at the age of 83. He said the record he was proudest of was playing in the most winning games in history. He apparently died in Clark County Nevada; That is where Las Vegas is located. So, I guess you can say he died in church. RIP.
MLB and HOF should say nothing l only want to hear from fans family and his brothers on the field 😢

I was a big fan of Pete Rose and the reds when I was growing up. I loved the way he played the game, but he brought this on himself by continually lying about what he did. If you want to hear from his fans you have to take the bad with the good.
@@martyharless5097 the man gambled on games he had nothing to do with, right? Yet the same fans, MLB and HOF celebrates drunks drug abuses, wife beaters, racist and worse.
His lifetime is over. NOW PUT PETE IN THE HALL OF FAME !!!
Johnny Bench and Tony Perez and MLB could have gone to the fans and said Pete had a gambling addiction at the time and he got some counselling for it and now he is forgiven and back in the game and eligible for the hall. But, the people who run what happens on the field from the Majors have always been tyrants. RIP Charley Hustle. Your play inspired me to always run and always cover for my teammates.
It’s time. Put Pete in the Hall of Fame
Johnny Bench???? Where was he in this report?
2:20 mark diving into 3rd. Not Pete. U guys had one job! 🤦♂️
No asterisk. Pete’s a baseball icon.
Now that he's dead, let him in the HOF. He didn't deserve his day on the stage but he deserves to be remembered.
I have an idea. Put him in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.❤
It sucks when your childhood starts to die off
Everybody remembers when he's dead he should have been the baseball Hall of Fame years ago they did him wrong. RIP Mr. Pete Rose
Rest in Peace Charlie Hustle!! Now maybe they can put you in the HOF... But then again you were always too good for them!
It looks like Pete is going to go the way of Shoeless Joe Jackson- one of the greatest players that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and it cost him dearly!
Congratulations to Pete Rose future induction into the HOF. We all knew that this was a CHILDISH VENDETTA, that wouldn't end, until he was DEAD.
I'm sorry he had to go through all that. RIH.
What did he die of?
