    Default Baseball

    Now the guy who came out with everything about the Astros "sign stealing" is being labeled as a snitch by former players.

    I'm sure a lot of you guys have played team sports in the past. What is your take on this?

    The MLB commissioner is a pansy.

    Until they put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame, baseball is dead to me.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    Pete Rose should be in the HOF based upon playing accomplishments alone.

    In a recent interview, Hank Aaron said he thought Barry Bonds should be in the HOF and Pete Rose should not. Puzzling.

    If another team can figure out your signals, then you need a better method of signal sending

    You bet on the sport you play/coach, you deserve the chop and no HOF.

    I agree with the lifetime ban, but his accomplishments on the field make him an obvious hall of famer.

    Barry Bonds and Clemens were also HOF'ers before they decided to juice-up. And I don't disagree with you, just stating a fact.

    Rose wasn’t accused of doing anything to alter his performance. His stats are legit. Theirs are not.

    Agreed. Bonds was elite before his first juicing season (1999). And after juicing, he was other worldly. His OBP and intentional walk percentage in the post season has to be near the top.

    I am and was a huge Pete Rose fan and agree,
    There is no coming back from betting on the sport you were paid to coach at that level, while coaching and
    being in a position to influence. The epitome of corruption.

    BB HOF has kinda lost its luster. They put in a lot of good players now that in my mind aren’t hall worthy. Football HOF the same.

    If Willie Mays would have taken the Bonds route he would have hit 1200 home runs.
