I thought this thread was about Rose being inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame (ceremony in June). Very curious to see if despite his exclusion from baseball (can't hold a job as an executive, manager or coach) whether or not he will be made eligible for the hall of fame in Cooperstown.

He and many many others of his day used speed:

AP: Pete Rose admits taking amphetamines

Over/Under the counter?

Pete Rose says he took “greenies” in his playing days, if only to lose a few pounds. Oh, and he doesn’t bet on baseball anymore, but if he did, he’d pick the Twins and the Padres.

In an appearance on the “Late Show” taped Monday, Rose was asked by host David Letterman whether he ever used any performance-enhancing drugs as a player. Rose said he never did, but when prodded about “greenies,” explained that he used them - though they were nothing more than “diet pills.”

...“If I took steroids, I’d have gotten 5,000 damn hits.”
