I'm shocked!

Pete Rose admits to gambling on every Reds game he managed.

His arguments that betting on each one meant that he wouldn't be likely to throw them are, naturally, completely fucking believable. Really. He's just a man of integrity.

I want to see a third player get to 4000 hits just to see if there's a correlation between getting that many hits and being an asshole.

It's the star athlete syndrome. It's not the hits that make them assholes, but the fact they are entirely dedicated to themselves that allows them to get to the hits.

You mean there's a completely self-absorbed athlete that isn't an asshole?

The Hall of Fame is incomplete without Pete Rose.

Have a nice day!

I can't wait for Barry Bonds to retire and then admit to doing steroids since age seven.

Thank you.

We don't disagree there. If Cobb's allowed in, Rose should be too - baseball should follow football's example and judge based purely on on-field performance.
