Sportswriting is still writing. In theory
Rob Dibble on Pete Rose: "It's got to be tortuous for Pete to wake up every day knowing that he is his own worst enemy. . ."
Yeah, Rob? The fact that you played baseball does not mean you're qualified to write about it.
(that said, I don't necessarily disagree with Dibble's argument. Certainly, any Hall of Fame that honors scum like Landis and Cobb can honor Rose. But as long as others -- like the Black Sox - are excluded, he doesn't belong, either. And he'll never belong back in baseball itself.)
