I think that they need to let Pete back in baseball. He bet on baseball, but all those guys who juice up are cheating which is way worse.

people care about baseball in America?

sure betting is against the rules, but he never bet against his team, and I don't think it affected the outcome of any games... juicing, on the other hand, affects game play, and gives those willing to take the risk an unfair advantage. I definitely think pete rose should be let in. And I think anyone from this era should be allowed in, just with an asterik stating he was from the steroid erathat said, I say test all players bi-weekly... just gotta pee in a cup once every 7 games, no biggie

of course they need to let him in the hall. the only one who really thinks otherwise is the commissioner and internet trolls. even the players association feels like a huge meaty cock because of the underhanded vote to ban ineligible players after he willingly bowed to a lifetime ban from playing.plus the man bet on his own fucking teamand the steroids thing is a joke and always has been. everyone is doing it, everyone always has done it and the only people that pay for it are the people without friends on the inside to help them bury results.

Roids should be legal in sports. Everyone equal - everyone knowing the risk.

In as a player. Never allowed to manage again. It's as simple as that.Roid users should be shot on site.

i, too, saw the espn.com poll last night

juicing wasnt even against the rules at the time so betting was worse
8/23/2009 10:21:35 AM
Theres no way betting is worse, he was a manager at the time so at worse, he should have lost his job, why this has ever kept him out of the hall of fame is beyond me. It would have been different if he bet against his team because then he would have incentive to loose, but he bet on his own team.

New York is not the "most important" city in the United States. Get the fuck out of here with your bullshit. Also, the rest of the country cares about football.^There is less talk about it in football because it isn't having the same historical impact on the game. Baseball is an individual sport, despite what it may look like. If football is designed as a game where you had one offensive player try to run by one defensive player and if you got tackled three times, you changed sides, then there would be a much more visible impact. However, because it is played with eleven people who can all equally affect a play at any given time, the importance of the steroids seems to be diminished. The NFL also has a much more strenuous drug testing policy than MLB, or at least they are much more vocal about it.[Edited on August 23, 2009 at 11:23 AM. Reason : ...]

I know, man... I just get pissed off every time a baseball thread starts, numbnuts are always saying something stupid in the first post so I make snide comments... been doing it for years.
8/23/2009 11:19:42 AM
Well, I don't know much about baseball, but I can tell you this son..... Fuck you.
8/23/2009 11:21:40 AM
hahaha- ok, that made me lol

Betting on baseball by people involved in the game is infinitely worse than dudes using PEDs.But betting on baseball isn't what keeps Rose out of Cooperstown; lying about betting on baseball is what keeps Rose out of Cooperstown.Did anyone hear the Fay Vincent interview on Rome about a month ago? He was asked this exact question.

Micheal Vick was committing multiple felonies by fighting dogs just so he could bet on them, and people were happy to see him come come back to play. It boggles my mind that they still keep Pete Rose out of the hall of fame for doing less.
