MLB to allow Rose to participate in 2015 all-star game @ Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati, Ohio.

They've already let him participate once since he was banned, haven't they?

they should bring in Ray Fosse and they can recreate that play at the plate.

When Campy Campaneris played all nine positions in a game.
When Pete Rose demolished Ray Fosse he was never the same.
31 wins and an album on Capitol for Denny McLain.

Lemme tell you somethin' about Ray Fosse, Stoney, one of the best, no- maybe the best- at blocking the plate that I've ever seen in my six decades in this game. The game has changed though, you can't even block the plate anymore. And that All-Star game, Pete took a lot of heat for that. But Pete, he was just playing the game the only way he knew how and that was the right way.

BREAKING: @OTLonESPN obtains previously undisclosed evidence that Pete Rose bet on Reds games he played in during 1986 season.

The book, according to Dowd, also showed that in those three months Rose bet $2,500 or more on 69 games and lost 64

It's a Hall of Fame, not a Hall of Moral Sentiments. Let these guys in but include something about their nefarious activities in the narrative next to their statue or bust or plaque or 3x5 pinboard notice.

"On his own web site, Rose blatantly pokes fun at himself. He sells signed baseballs saying "I'm sorry I bet on baseball" for $300. He charges $100 for just his signature. For fans willing to pay $500, Rose will autograph copies of his Major League banishment orders.

I had this all along.

I tend toward agreement with not wanting to see Rose get to start selling something like 'I bet on basebell and I still made the HofF. Suck it, bitches.'

But as someone who enjoys the schadenfreude of public PR disasters by folks like Pete Rose, I'd wanna hear Rose give a HofF induction speech before he dies.

That's fine, but do it posthumously. That scumbucket shouldn't be able to stand on the stage to the cheers of all the goofs who revere him.

Yes, he should. He is the all time hits leader. One of the greatest hitters in the history of the game.

Again...that Hall of Fame is full of scumbucket pieces of shit. Racists, wife beaters, addicts...the works.

Let's focus on the on-the-field accomplishments.
