OT Lying ****-weasel

St. Bart, Bartlett Giamatti, former commissioner of baseball absolutely
did the right thing kicking that sleaze ball out of baseball for life.
Where he screwed up was in letting the lying little **** weasel sign a
letter accepting a lifetime ban instead of proceeding with the official
hearing which would have done the same thing without subjecting us, 14
years later, to this sorry spectacle and self-serving circus.

Pete Rose bet on baseball, he shat on the game, close the book on the
son of a bitch.

I couldn't agree more. I'm apalled by the sympathetic attention Rose's
confession seems to be receiving. If I follow the story line, Rose was
kicked out of baseball for betting on the game, something he has repeatedly
denied in the ensuing years. Now, years later, he confesses. From where I
stand, this not only re-validates the grounds for his banishment, but adds
being a chronic liar to his list of offenses. I'm mystefied as to why
anyone would consider this grounds for reinstatement.

If he were a Democrat liberal, he'd probably be the front runner, presidential
candidate.

How's that for my first attempt at trolling?

Not necessarily: I believe he's currently a republican and yet he
isn't president. g

i'll agree he is a lying ****-bum poor excuse for a human being and
should not be allowed in the game again

at the same time, he is arguably the game's greatest all-time hitter
and belongs in the Hall

the Hall is full of law-breaking men, of lousy human beings, that
played the game better than most, and Rose should be included in that
group,,,,it is about being a great player, not a quality human
being....if quality human was a prerequisite, the Hall would be
missing Ty Cobb and Roger Clemens would have no shot of ever getting
in.....(how's my troll??)

Well.. my 2 ct. worth. I would just like to know if he had ever
betted AGAINST his team. If not, so what! IIRC, the superbowl team
owners put up a wager on the game that's made public! And now hearing
his latest interviews, it appears he aint the brightest bulb in the
make-up mirror! AND always remember, Its a game! Bill

OK Bill, try to follow along here. Pete Rose, the manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, is a known gambler and he places bets, always ON
the Cincinnati Reds, some 4 or 5 times a week. With me so far ?
Now, go out and beg borrow or steal another active brain cell
to rub against the only one you've ever had and see if you can
figure out what a professional gambler would do on the days that
Pete Rose DIDN'T bet.

The Hall is NOT full of people who shat on the game. Ty Cobb was a
misogynist and a terrible racist, and by all accounts a miserable
excuse of a **** poor human being, but he didn't caught betting on
baseball. (Some say he did, but he was never caught.)

I wouldn't mind a separate section of the Hall to enshrine scum
like Joe Jackson and Pete Rose for their play on the field, but
enshrinement in that section of the Hall would be posthumously
ONLY, and there would be no induction ceremony. Just a plaque in
the Shameful Section which would include a description of their
crimes against the game.

As for Clemens, **** Texas and **** Texans, you could give the
whole damn lot of them to the Mexican League for all I care.
