It is hard to feel sorry for him, though. Rose's biggest enemy has always been Rose. |

This is a total bs cover story. What kind of illegal bookie fronts an interpreter $4 million? GTFO with that for shit story.

Never had much respect for Rose after he broke Fosse's leg on an aggressive slide at home in a freaking all-star game.

But take away the gaudy hit totals through being a compiler and was he noticeably better than Craig Biggio? I'm not saying he's not a HoF caliber guy. He was for the first 2/3 of his career. But his legendary status is built on numbers he never should've stuck around to build up. It's similar to Ripken in that regard. Cal was not a good player for the latter half of his career. He probably should've been taking days off. But in the ends a record meant more to him than the teams record. And it paid off for him - we remember him as a legend because of a record he never should've broken in the first place. Last edited by DJ's left nut; 03-21-2024 at 06:39 PM.. |

Tony Gwynn once stole more than 50 bases in a season. You'd win a lot of bar bets with that fact.
I'm betting nobody would ever believe you if you told them that he stole 100 more bases than Pete Rose. And he won several gold gloves in his prime as well. Tony Gwynn was a FAR superior player to Rose. It's not even close, IMO. He did literally everything better than Rose did at their respective peaks. |

lol This is the most obvious fall-guy scenario.
As clear as Boing offing that witness. Blatant. |

Rose was good with the Big Red Machine, but after that - meh. ...and he broke the #1 rule in baseball. |

This is the most excitement baseballs seen since the Mcguire Sosa race, of course they will sweep it under the rug. The scandal itself just adds to the lore. Plus this is way more coverage than they would have gotten otherwise.

Since he doesn’t play for the Royals, I think he’s guilty and should go to prison
