Rose wants to Manage again

[Mr. D™]

What do you think?

Rose: 'I bet on my team every night' March 14, 2007 NEW YORK (AP) -- Pete Rose bet on the Cincinnati Reds "every night" when he managed them and, despite his lifetime ban because of gambling, would like another chance in a major league dugout. "I bet on my team every night. I didn't bet on my team four nights a week," Rose said Wednesday on "The Dan Patrick Show" on ESPN Radio. ADVERTISEMENT "I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team, I believe in my team," he said. "I did everything in my power every night to win that game." In a wide-ranging interview, the banned Rose said he thinks he should be reinstated because "I believe I'm the best ambassador baseball has." He hopes a new exhibit in Cincinnati is a sign baseball will soften its stance toward him. If reinstated, the 65-year-old Rose said he would like to again manage in the majors. The career hits leader also said he supported Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, who fell far short in his first time on the Hall of Fame ballot. "Don't penalize McGwire because you think other guys are taking steroids," Rose said. Rose finished his career in 1986 with 4,256 lifetime hits. He was managing the Reds in 1989 when he agreed to a lifetime ban after an investigation of his gambling.

I argue for allowing Pete Rose into the HOF because he was a HOF player.

But as a manager he violated one of the sacred laws of baseball, he should not manage in baseball again.

[ghettochild]

rose is the dumbest guy ever to play the game.


but he played the game like none other. and for that he should be in the HOF.

[rockin500]

rose managing? yup, that'll happen soon. as soon as elephants start flying.

I would love to see Rose working for the reds again, he's paid his due, I say both but if I could only get one I would want him in the Hall of Fame

no offense man, but rose will not ever be allowed to work for the MLB ever again. theres no telling how much money R.Cast threw at Selig to allow the reds HoF exibit.

Its going to be he won't get in until after he dies, its messed up but its the truth.

[Mr. D™]

i know it's the truth, I just hope he does at least get in the hall of fame

He's right where he belongs, on the outside looking in. he doesn't belong in the Hall and doesn't deserve to be a crappy manager again.

Well, keep in mind, Rose has said that he never bet on baseball.

Oh wait, then he did.

At least he didn't bet on his own team.

Oh wait, then he did.

At least he never bet against his own team.

How long do you think it'll be before he bet against the Reds?

It's ok to let assholes like Ty Cobb into the HOF?
It's ok to let cheaters like Gaylord Perry into the HOF?
It's ok to let roiders into the HOF? (Because they will get in.)
But heaven forbid someone who gambled after his HOF caliber career was already over get in?

Pete Rose belongs in the HOF.

Pete Rose is an asshole who shouldn't be allowed to manage another baseball game as long as he lives. But he belongs in Cooperstown for what he accomplished before he started betting on the Reds.

If I thought a HOF ticket would shut Rose up I'd be all for it.

[HollywoodLeo]

It's a travesty that the man who holds the all time record for hits is not in the HOF.
