Pete Rose - Another Chance?

[MindGroper]

Rose holds another record that he never gets credit for. He slid headfirst into more bases when there was no play on the base than any player in baseball history. The ball was ususally still in the outfield when he did his headfirst flying dive slides. Charlie Hustle all right. Specially wasted energy hustle for show. More like Charlie Hot Dog. He used a lot of mustard when he was playing. One of the biggest phonies ever in baseball history. A bully, a banjo hitter and a so so fielder..

[TheJer1963]

Yes........that's all that needs to be said.

[instereovideos]

Let Pete Rose in the Hall. And don't put stupid ass Nirvana songs in your videos.

[skywalker71903]

BEST PLAYER NOT IN HALL OF FAME. BUT ROSE IN.Most hits ever.

[Mr81super]

Pete Rose should not deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame, but Pete Rose should go in the Hall of Loser.....

[oDayton]

@Mr81super Your grammar is horrible.

[instereovideos]

@Mr81super You should not deserves to writes sentences in public.

[TjSand94]

@Mr81super You think "Charlie Hustle" is a loser, huh? You think that he doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, huh? I would like to see your a** break his hit record, now try to say he is a loser. thats right you can't so STFU. HE deserves to be in the HOF more than the CHEATING Mark McGwire does to even be on the ballot!!!!!!!!

[falconr35]

BANNED FOR LIFE as he should be. He should be put in the day after he dies

[silverhazey67]

I dont understand how the MLB can give rose a lifetime banishment for smething that is 100% legal in the united states but yet wont ban these cheaters who took steroids which int he way they got them and used them is 100% illegal they stained the game rose did absolutely nothing wrong im sorry betting on the game after your done playing is childs play compared to the people who illegally inhanced their performance thats why i refuse to watch baseball since the steroids controversy

[MrRandomFail]

@silverhazey67 its because he couldve porpusly lost games to make more money...but pete wouldnt have never done tht

[redfestiva]

I say no hall of fame for Rose. Permanant banishment .

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Read the book. Hustle: The Myth, Life, and Lies of Pete Rose. It's all true and you will find out things about him that will make you sick . He was scum

[dishnme2]

No, He broke the rules. Plain and simple.

[Benjaminb46]

if bonds and clemens and arod get in then he should get in before

[neano62]

@Benjaminb46 When Bonds,Clemens,Arod,and McQuire go in they should have Pete in the same class! Then that class can be labled -Given a Second Chance,...In on the First Ballot. Major Leage Baseball will see the light of Day, one of these Days.Football will become America's Pastime when they ALL cometogether b/4 the owners lockout the players next year.Rose noes now how BAD hes screwed up his Basball Career.I think the fans need somthing here that Bud Selig is evidently not able or to scared 2 do?

[Baltimorehop]

Pete belongs in the Hall. Simple as that. If there is any humility in sports, they will put him in as long as he is upright. If not the greatest, he's definitely in the top four that ever played.

[prnydecalle]

hall of fam will not be complete without pete in it ....come on the guy admited his mistake ....he didnt hide or lied to congress ....but yes we still aloud cheaters caught in the act using steroids but the dont get banned for life the get 50 games suspention and 270 million contract extention banned cheaters for life not someone that bet .....

[silverhazey67]

@prnydecalle amen to that my firend it makes no sense and i dont understand why media outlets like espn showcase these hypocracies you'll let a cheater in before a gambler who bet on games after he was retired stupid in every sense of the word

[blowdatcocaine]

absolutely no reason why he shouldnt be in the hall, gambling will not make him get more hits, homerun records set by steroid users are the ones that should be ineligible

[seka1986]

Everyone knows Pete Rose is HOF material.

[Mathaos01]

If anyone is serious about their opinion, they should write to the commissioner of baseball and start a petition to get Pete Rose inducted into the Hall of Fame, the current commissioner is Allan H. (Bud) Selig.

[Mathaos01]

This is political BS! The facts about his career stand, they are undisputed. That should be the only factor in the decision whether he is eligible for the Hall of Fame or not. The rules that have put him in this situation are nonsense!

[Kellogs43able]

pete should be in the hall of fame but he shouldn't be inducted while he's alive....wait till he dies, then do it...he doesn't deserve it while he's alive

[MrBuckeyeGuy09]

Lazlos, you are a complete idiot. You obviously have no idea what Rose's stats were during his career. The MOST strikeouts he had in any season was 76 and that was in his 3rd season. Over a 162 game season for his career he struck out on average 52 times. That is WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY less than most. Look up how many categories Rose is in the top 5. Pete Rose deserves to be in the hall...PERIOD!!!

I find it kind of ironic that Ty Cobb is buried in ROSE Hill Cemetery.

[LazlosPlane]

The next Congress should get together and fire themselves. Beyond that Pete Rose does NOT belong in the hall of fame. That would be a travesty.

[Marker0051]

Everyone should get a second chance

[TheGumbo13]

of course he should get in, no since he was banned he should not be allowed to play in the majors, but come on! he should be in the HoF!!! he was so good of all people rose should be in, he played his heart out, and truly loved the game

[dodgerfanatico]

i m a dodger fan , fifty years a dodger fan, and i always hated on other opposing players against the dodgers , but pete rose commanded respect , i do believe he is one of the very greatest of all time, he is the heart and soul of baseball

[brianallancobb]

The Hall of Fame without Pete Rose is a joke.

[Wehategod]

Pete Deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Look at all these Juice heads we go today what a Joke Pete was the Real Deal they Called HIm Charlie Hustle for a reason. Selig is sleeping with PIazza but thats old news. You know who else isn't in the Hall of fame ether Gil Hodges that sickens me.

[COLDSTEELDEATH]

Little Peety the best hitter in the History of Baseball...PERIOD.

All the drug users and steroid freaks get so many chances.Pete in the Hall. Soon the Mascotts will be in the Hall too.

[redfestiva]

Rose broke the Major League Baseball cardinal rule: Do'nt bet on baseball. If you recant his lifetime ban then it undermines the rules for everyone for all time.

[blueshorse]

Sure give everyone another chance..and another and another....ROSE BET ON BASEBALL.He is a lying cheat that deserves to sit in a memorabilia store in Vegas ,harrasing passersby to purchase a tarnished piece of his dirty baseball career. He does NOT deserve to sit in Cooperstown alongside Ruth and Aaron.

[omyballshurt]

@blueshorse Oh yeah, because Babe Ruth wasn't a scumbag piece of shit. Were you high when you wrote that or are you just ignorant?

[MikeLuceroKrunch]

Lets see who do I want on my team I need one more player, a guy who does steroids and is a complete Dick or a guy that will do what ever it takes to win. And Hey if he 's got 40k riding on the game then he'll try that much harder. Rose is my man.

[seahawks2043]

somone who bet on ball is banned, yet the all time HR king still holds his record and 2 known steroid users just won a world series, what does that sum up? BUD SELIG IS A JOKE AND KEEPS DESTROYING THE GAME!

[hammeredwappered]

Well Said! Rose's mouth is his own worst enemy.

[hammeredwappered]

Many players have done what Rose did. They went after him! Probably because he beat the I.R.S. in a tax case in 78. He gave cars to his coaches and didn't pay taxes on it and beat the I.R.S. in court. They vowed to get him, and they eventually did. Who knows? i find it a funny coincidence that he went to prison for tax evasion at the same time as this gambling bullshit. The I.R.S. wanted this guy, and they got him.

[hammeredwappered]

MLB should never have gone public with this. The NBA caught Jordan gambling and they suspended him from the league. That's why he "suddenly" decided to play minor league baseball in Chicago. The point his, the NBA hushed it up for the sake of the integrity of the NBA. Baseball caught Rose doing the same as many others in pro sports. They brought this crap on themselves. Some people forget that this is OUR game! MLB should remember that! You don't see the NFL dealing with this bullshit!

[kovacevichgk]

by the time rose was in this situation with gambling, an associate was arrested for steroid distribution and informed the fbi about roses crimes so a cover up was probably impossible. the guy was a scumbag gambler who bet on his own sport as a manager. was he a great ballplayer?yes. should he be allowed anywhere near mlb or the hall of fame? of course not.

[MrBuckeyeGuy09]

First of all......a "Piddly" .303 lifetime hitter? He hit over .300 13 times in his career. Ok, he didn't have a lot of power...so what? He and Morgan were supposed to get on base so the "Power" guys could knock them in. I doubt you even come close to doing any better.

Second. There is not one piece of evidence that links Rose to betting before he became a manager. You want to never let him back in the game...fine, but as a player, Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

[LazlosPlane]

@MrBuckeyeGuy09 Piddly. Yes. Piddly. Okay, so you wanna get on base, or be a singles hitter. the hit f***g .350, like Cobb or Williams (who HAD power) or Musial, or Speaker, or Hornsby, or Waner, or...etc, etc...

And he had WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many strikeouts for a piddly singles hitter.

Piddly.

No hall of fame. PERIOD.

[SKILEON26]

Charlie Hustle is a hall of famer in my book.....

[oranger2525]

gambling and 'riods. apples and oranges.

at least the guys on 'roids we're trying to be the best they could.

we'll never know if Rose threw a game because of betting on it.

Rose broke *the* rule of baseball. His credibility is lost forever.

[LazlosPlane]

Gambling and 'roids are NOT moral equivalents, despite your trite metaphor.

No one uses 'roids to make their game WORSE.

Bettting, gambling implies the possiblity of throwing games for profit. Um... it HAS happened.

You bet, your banned.

BANNED FOR LIFE, ROSE.

PERIOD.

[oranger2525]

re read my post.

i said we'll never know if rose threw a game,

let me make it simple. a player betting on is worse than gambling. mujch worse than usuing roids.

haven't you ever heard of the apples/orages comparison/expression?

[ouchhorse3]

roids r worse and if ur saying he did throw games imagine how much better he stats would have been

[LazlosPlane]

First of all, 'roids are worse...IN YOUR OPINION.

It's not worse than betting IN BASEBALL'S OPINION. And ROSE KNEW IT. And Rose gambled on baseball as a manager, not player. He could have easily influenced a games outcome.

Second..."how much better his stats would be..." You say this as if he had the stats of Musial, or Williams, or Cobb, or uh... a really GOOD player. The guy (Rose) was a piddly .303. lifetime hitter with no power.

Please.

Banned. Period.

[btofan]

Upon Pete Rose's death he should be reinstated, and then let the voting begin. He should not have the glory that goes with being elected into the Hall of Fame. No book deals, autograph sessions, appearances on late night TV shows. He knew the consequences of his actions and then lied. People need to take responsibility for their actions. Something that is uncommon in this society. Banned for life should mean banned for life. The same as life without parole.

[LazlosPlane]

Oh, please, bleeding heart phonies. Bet you want to hang Vick, though, right?

There are signs in EVERY FUCKING CLUBHOUSE in baseball for 150 years: BETTING PROHIBITED. Not, drinking, not, whoring, not, Chemical enhancements prohibited. BETTING.

He knew the penalty and like the spoiled child lied to us, trying to fool us, and like spoiled children you all want him back.

BANNED FOR LIFE.

PERIOD.

FUCK HIM.

Pussy .303 hitter with no power anyway.

[LazlosPlane]

Halleluia!

[zandre88]

Hank Aaron supports his bid for the HOF...I guarantee he would never do the same for someone like Bonds. Selig is pathetic he knew about the steroids way back in the early 90's and did nothing.  Pete deserves to be in the HOF.

[erock8469]

Rose admitted his wrong and has paid evrey since. He never affected the outcome of a game. Steriods are being used for that sole purpose. That's way more messed up.Theres sealed records of drug tests that need exposed let us know. Is it 50% of the MLB tested+? If so can their asses and bring in players that will play the game by working hard and showing the crowd they take the game seriously.But before that MLB should approach Rose and tell him that he is what baseball is about and forgive him!

[AcousticAstro]

He will get in... mark my words. Its already brewing boys and girls.

[mightyblack1]

Give that motherfucker a chance,and the hell with McGwire.

[SuperDroogie187]

If anyone needs to be reinstated, it's not Pete Rose...it is Shoeless Joe Jackson, because evidence casting significant doubt over his alleged involvement in the Black Sox scandal has been coming to light over the last few years, and if you ask me, the weight of that evidence is too much to ignore.

[bubbasouth69]

The one thing Pete wants more than anything is to manage again. The 1990 World Championship team was Rose's team. Talk about somebody gettin' a royal screwin' over - Pete did! I hope that bunch up there in NY gets their heads out of their a**es soon and does the right thing - REINSTATE PETE!!!

[gppisz]

Pete Rose is baseball! Without him the hall of fame is a joke.Will Bonds record be passed?Yup.Shoot me up I'm ready to swing for the fences.Will Pete's (RECORDS!!) plural be passed?Hell no.There is no drug for hardwork,determination and hustling your ass off every game you ever played.The two players that are top five all time and not in the HOF are Pete and Joe Jackson.Screw MLB.

[charlitunaman2002]

In light of all of MLB's scandals, Pete looks like a saint in comparison. Why single him out and not do the same for the others? It doesn't make any sense. Shame on MLB and their hypocritical "system" of judgement.

[erock8469]

I agree totally!! I think the steroid problem was/is so epic that they'd have to go find real talent such as Rose. The problem there is they're to lazy to do it and it probably would be hard to find players that would be so committed to the game and willing to hustle and play ball like Pete Rose!!

[HollywoodSummitShow]

Pete should get back on the reds.... Don't you think? He's not to old....

[theadmiralburns]

It's a sign of the times, that betting on your own team is a crime.

[KTUF]

I love Pete Rose. I graduated from Western Hills High School. Growing up he was my hero. It's tragic drama of Greek proportions: Lies, plots, backstabbers, justice, death. A life left signing endless balls. So sad. So real. So Pete. Sorry, Pete. You did the ONE thing. It don't matter.You KNEW about IT. You did it. You lied about it then confessed it. Sorry Pete. No HOF for you. Only tears from your 'nati homies.

[arequipa1]

if he'd played for either the yankees or red sox you better be DAMN sure he'd be in the HOF.

[edaward0]

for all his accomplishments on the field yes Pete should be in the hall of fame.

[SCE2AUX]

He cheated, he lied about it, he damaged the game in doing so. The same goes for those using steroids. But I believe in forgiveness

Let him in. Let them all in.

Posthumously

[LordBicen]

Sure, and Put Barry Bonds Roided up ass in there too, as if these tiny-dicked baseball players havent also damaged the game? Betting? or Drugs a worse crime? Things that make you go Hmmmm

[yomamadontdanz]

If pete Rose was a betting man I bet he would have waggered three million dollars that he has a smaller penis than John Holmes.

[eatonss]

Charlie Hustle...If he's not a hall of famer, then, well, they need to rewrite the definition.

[jrod04buc]

and i forgot 2 make my point,pete rose should go to the hall!no doubt

[jrod04buc]

lets talk a bout the biggest cheat of all times! Bud Selig is the biggest scumbag sleeze that ever walked the earth.he flat out ruined mlb by covering up this problem with steriods since the 90s.but contnues to claim how profitable he made it...f..him!!bottom line the gov should investigate him and his corrupt cronies and force him to resign!on opening day of this season they should grant amnesty for all steriod users to admit use,and grant full testing of all known substances from this point on

[Jack0WNSolo]

Nirvana - Come as you are

[cne08]

Pete Rose deserves to be in The Hall Of Fame.

[1stguyhere]

pete rose needs to be in the hall of fame.... and even if he doesnt make it we all know what he did as a player and for the game... you hardly ever see a player bust his ass day in day out every single game until the end of their career... pete rose did... pete rose getting in the hall of fame has nothing to do with giving him a second chance its doing whats right for the game... everyone is acting like his bets made him play better... he earned everything he accomplished ... pete rose HoF

[crosscountryace]

Barry Bonds can use steroids (actually cheat) and still play, and Pete Rose bet on games, and that got him kicked out?

[HollywoodSummitShow]

Why would you not put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame?

[DennieLemeux]

Because he gambled on baseball. Fuck him.

[libere]

Not putting Pete in the Hall of Fame is lying to our selves! This whole gambling thing is blown way out of proportion.Banning him for life is like shooting someone for J walking - soooo rediculous I'm soooo over it already- We're not electing a Pope! Fine him, make him do community service, manage a team one year for free but BANNED FOR LIFE?? Ty Cobb Stabbed someone! Look it up! It's true!!!!I'll take Pete's character over many other guys in Cooperstown!!!

[StukInBuf]

The next Congress should get together and vote on Pete Rose going into the Hall of fame. They would be foolish if their constituents say YES, but they vote NO.

OTOH, the next Prez(unless Bush decides to do something before his term ends) ought to sign an executive order that gives Pete Rose full and final entry into the Hall of Fame.

Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame... It's the right thing to do.

[sportsboy85]

So true....

[StukInBuf]

Does anyone know where/how to find that 1999 encounter with Jim Gray and Pete Rose at the World Series? I wish I could've seen it, to see how full of garbage Mr. Gray was with him.

[tflemm3775]

Are you kidding! Gray was right, Pete lied to the public for 20 years.

[1jbench1]

Just my own thoughts here and I'm 47 years old... but Pete (Charlie Hustle) was obviously an incredible player. His #'s speak for themself But if he bet on Baseball let alone his own team.. I don't think he should be allowed in. That's just me? Why? Because I doubt that his performance would ever be affected but it leaves the possibility of doubt. And Baseball SHOULD be pure... What else is in our society?

Home Run Heroes? I like Hank Aaron... Hammerin' Hank!!

Just my opinion!

[tallcanfromvirlee]

For a player to have the success and cosistency for that long of a stretch is a NO BRAINER!!! he did not play like today's players where the practically making out with the opposing team before the game but rather he looked at them as the enemy and played like it was his last game! Best gamer ever to play and he put the fear in people. My favorite player of all time!

[mm3861]

No Pete??? The Hall of Fame can kiss my ass.

[silverado7163]

Put him in the hall, he deserves it. I would much rather see Rose in,than Barry Bonds. I would rather have a gambler on my team who plays to win everyday, than a drug user.

[stuntpenis]

Last night Bob Costas had Pete Rose on his show. These writers said if reinstated they wouldn't vote him in on a first ballet. After 20 years unfair punishment what person could look at his numbers and not vote him in.

[Camel76]

Put Rose in the hall where he belongs.

I'd like to see him manage the Reds again.

[PHILFISH696969]

They just didn't want anyone else to break this rule, so they proved a point with Pete. No matter who you are even Charlie Hustle you will be dealt with. I only wish they were this harsh with the drug abusers that are ruining the game today. It seems a more important issue at the moment, yet they take it lightly in my opinion. If they banned you for life for testing positive for steroids, cocaine, HGH, etc I bet a lot less ball players would use them. Pete Rose was great but he broke a rule

[gfr28D]

and he placed bets for his team to win if i remember right... i dont see anything wrong with that...but u can take steriods or do drugs and get in... man with the most hits isnt in the hall of fame...then why have a hall of fame

[Machu4Vols]

yeah he deserves it he was a baseball beast (LET HIM IN THE HOF)

[StukInBuf]

I second the "Put Pete in" sentiment.

[sportsboy85]

Okay, anyone who thinks that my video is about Pete Rose getting back in baseball is wrong. It's about getting him in the HoF (Hall of Fame).

[rayalvarado2010]

@sportsboy85 I disagree. I think the true essence of this video is cock.

[utubinagain]

YES...he deserves a second chance!

[hop2171]

The hell he does, he lied for 13 years and than had to write a book to confess! Oh yeah i can tell how sorry he is, he's the only guy i know who when he is sorry he has to make a buck on it! Give me a break! Wake the F UP!

[sportsboy85]

Hell yeah!

[solidhonkie]

best baseball player ever period

[barbie833]

great video !! pete was the best..........

[sportsboy85]

Sorry I acciendently marked you spam. I like the White Sox and Cubs, y'know Chicago teams.

[backflipjason]

he's to old 2 play... but i c ur into baseball. me 2! i like da DODGERS!

[LordBicen]

Not to manage a team. He's stated on many occasions an interest to coach again. I think the whole ban thing is complete and Utter crap. So what, he bet on his team to win. Must have had alot of faith in his team to take that risk. He's not juicing up on roids to bust records to put asses in the seats to repair a stupid player strike over lousy money. Think about it. BTW, Dodgers is a cuss word to a Real reds fan.

[adamolambert]

HELL YEAH!!!

[carboost96]

If Pete Rose doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, then nobody does. Years from now there will be many alcoholics, drug addicts, wife beaters and steroid users in the 'Hall' but no Pete Rose, and that is a shame. Great video compilation by the way!

[hop2171]

As Tommy Lasorda said, the rule on gambling on baseball is posted in every single clubhouse in the league and it informs you of the punishment if caught which is a lifetime ban yet pete broke it anyway. Maybe he can wait another 13 years to write another book and admit to more of his wrong doings, what a joke! And to the guy who said "best ever" what are you smoking? He's not even close to the best ever.

[sportsboy85]

Pete Rose was and always will be the most verstaile player i've ever seen. Babe Ruth broke records the right way by scarfing down hot dogs and chugging beer.

[blacksx17]

Pete Rose was the Greatest player of all time - his records and accomplishments make Babe Ruth look like a one dimentional ball player.

[sportsboy85]

true i cant agree with you more

[neano62]

One hard thing to think about,when Rose didn't bet on his team to win how much money was won or lost by the bookmakers? He has come clean to a certain degree.We'll c if Rose's comments in the past few years will help him,after Hillary Clinton is elected President of the United States. He did say she was sexy. Rose is a gamer and always will B.That might be the only chance he will ever have to get into the H.O.F.If the Prez,puts him there!He deserves a second chance.

[Armyofficer]

Very nice. Unfortunately, he doesn't deserve to be in uniform making decisions on a field anymore. Pete Rose destroyed that trust.

Still, Mr. Rose's awesome stats and career as a player should get him in Baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Sadly, if that happens - it will probably occur when he's dying of something or after his death.

[DarthMarc490]

nice eli

[sportsboy85]

I know. Money is all that matters to them. Dice-K just got paid $168 million for 5 years. Damn Red Sox! White Sox Rule!

[LordBicen]

The BIGGEST shame is that the Baseball Commission is actually, ACTUALLY saying that Gambling on a Sport is WORSE than Using Drugs!?!? Performance enhancing drugs, than make mediocre players better than average, and Better than average, Great? But wait- Good games fill the parks, ergo asses in seats and dollars in pockets, now it all makes sense.
