Pete Rose Speaks Out: Baseball Greatness and Hall of Fame Controversy | Undeniable with Joe Buck 

However, only ON the Field, NOT OFF...😮

@@mikewhite4560 exactly! 🤣😂

Great player but, got big headed and thought himself above the law!

Well, no he didn't. A local Cinnannti Reporter found some things out about his career including accusations that he may have corked his bat while playing. He would never allow anyone to touch or look at his bats. Beyond that, he did gamble on the game as the player and Manager.

@@mikewhite4560who cares, we’ve all made poor choices

That's what maters one of the best❤

Yes, he was, and I may feel differently if he had owned up to what he did and apologized, but he lied about for nearly 20 years. I say, HELL NO, he does NOT belong in the Hall of Fame.

You got that right... @@garymorris1856

What does that have to do with his BASEBALL career?

@@user-un4mb3um7s EVEREYTHING!

Because Pete is a liar

@@BrianHiggins-pi5fk Is there hard evidence of that or just an opinion? No, the real lie here is MLB telling a man to "reconfigure your life" and then never defining what exactly that means. Shameful.

@@BrianHiggins-pi5fk then keep him out of the Hall of Good People - dude is an absolute legend in baseball

@@jfayiii he's a cheater and a dishonest person in life,of he just admitted he was wrong I'd be all for him in the h.o.f,but lying 🤥 gets you nowhere in life so to that I say good riddance ✅🎯🗑️

@@BrianHiggins-pi5fk he belongs to the H.O.F. as a player and NOT as a manager.

yeah, like no one ever slid head first into the base or ran hard.

amen

My favorite player!

We all learned to play like Pete as kids!!!!

"Say whatever you may about Pete Rose" "Great story teller"....He's still an asshole and so are you.

WTF is WRONG with you

no ... he's not a great story teller ... a great story teller tells great stories ... his stories aren't great because they are not ~ good. They are sad stories ~ sad as the person telling them.

@@harryabelpotter9630 The 119 👍 likes say you are the one who has a problem with Pete's stories. 🤣😂😅😃😄😆😁 Sorry, I can't help you with that, seek professional help. (Update: 140 likes already !!! 👍😁)

TO: @@luishumbertovega3900||| As New York City Mayor Edward I. Koch used to say, “I can explain it to you; but, I can’t comprehend it for you.”

He needs to be in the real Hall.

… Rose should also be in LIARS’ Hall of Fame.

Yessir

Nope

@@garythomas4936well aren’t you the cutest thing!🥰🥰🥰

Joe Buch sucks and is no where near what his father was

This is social media, not an obituary site. You must be confused.

@@thomasallen6980😂

Next HOF will say if they got divorced they can not be in it ? ? ? I just called Cooperstown to find out why #25 Dodger Jimmy C cannot be in HOF they told me they have to played 10 or more yrs (he only played 6 yrs as catcher)

@@thomasallen6980 Let it go......

1980,,?? When he was with Philadelphia

yes you must be a young dude i have been a phillies fan since 1959 we never won anything until we got pete he was a great baseball player but a terrible person@@georgetheobold4973

Yes he was with Philadelphia when they won the World Series in 1980

You're right. Cincinnati probably would've won again in 1980 with Pete.

Watch an old video of him being interviewed by Jim Day. His stories never get old!

@@jdawg9137 I'm definitely listen to that interview today, thanks!

@@-C.S.R This is insane, I can't find Jim Days interview with Pete Rose!!! I read your response an was like I'm gonna watch it again because he let it fly, literally! They took it off or if you find it send the link!!! They're destroying our freedom of speech behind us!!!! That's insane if we can't find it.

Stories lol 😂

WTF is WRONG with you? He BET on his OWN team...Get counseling

​@@BBAKER22So, no one played better than him at what he did! You? You ain't played competitive sports, me? Ex Pop Warner straight to Div1 NCAA football 2 yrs then US Navy.

@@BBAKER22That didn’t used to be a felony. Chicago Black Sox scandal wakes up the simple, and thence forward all gamblers must bear the brunt? Horse race trainers bet on their own runners and everything’s fine. Be sure to clutch your pearls on the way out, all ye faint hearted.

My coach, when I was 8, said he liked my hustle, and that I played like the Reds rookie, Pete Rose.

@@JayAr709 dude it’s a felony now. It’s also against the rules in MLB punishable with a lifetime ban. Has been since 1919. Pete knew exactly what he was doing.

Did you guys discuss his sexual relationships with 14 year old girls?

@@alex11361 No, they discussed pathetic trolls who have nothing better to do than talk crap online. Get a life dude.

@@bradfors6872 So you have nothing of substance to add? I’m just asking questions. It seems you can’t answer them either??

@@bradfors6872 I give you one reason after another why Rose should never be allowed to step foot on any MLB property ever again. I really don’t care what the HOF does. MLB has ZERO to do with the HOF. They’re two separate entities. You probably didn’t know that until right now? I’m glad I could educate you on now matter what the MLB Commissioner says that the HOF could vote Pete in at any time. The MLB Commissioner doesn’t control the HOF. This lesson was free. Let me know if you’d like a further education opportunities on Rose!

​@@alex11361strange that is what you are fixated on. Kind of telling about your feelings about 14 year olds

I truly think BB has shot themselves in the foot . With his knowledge, enthusiasm for the game and total recall of events and stories of past games and players, he could have been one of the biggest ambassadors to promote the sport in modern times. Right now, in these competitive times, BB needs all the help they can get to move forward and maintain interest for the younger generation coming up.

Some hate Pete so much they want him personally doomed to eternal hell.

To me this is a very sad story and a miscarriage of just common sense Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame !!!

Nothing wrong with letting PETE talk. Just don’t ever let him step foot on any MLB owned property ever again.

Lol...WTF is WRONG with you?

​@@alex11361You too! No need for you to tailgate either!

​@@alex11361He shouldn't be allowed in the vicinity of teenage girls either. Throw in drug trafficking and you have the Pete Rose "Trinity."

Who BET on BASEBALL as a Manager while it was I L L E G A L. I know who you're VOTING for in 24. President 91 Felonies..😅

​@@mikewhite4560You are obviously a loose cannon being a Obiden supporter! Take your meds and go nighty night, little boi!

​@@mikewhite4560Why are you mixing politics and sports? Pete isn't a felon all he did was run afoul of a moral code. I'm sick of MLB acting like they are a wholesum entity and the fans with a superiority complex!! News flash it's been decades since baseball was the preeminent sport in America. Pete should be in the HOF considering that a great many men in the HOF are some really disgusting people far worse than Pete.

​@@eac1235 How old are you? He most definitely IS A FELON! Look it up. He served time for tax evasion at the Federal Penitentiary in Marion, IL. He served his time in the medium security prison camp.

@mr.intensity2685 I'm 55 Mr Nosey. You are correct it's because of the taxes . He paid back over 361,000 thousand dollars in tax and restitution. However he didn't set out to do anything illegal. That happened because of poor business management, hired help. Strangely enough that issue surfaced because of the Dowd report. Even still he accepted his punishment, never appealed and took full responsibility. Bottom line he still deserves to be in the HOF. As I said previously there are way worse people than Pete in all of the HOF's.

STOP TRYING TO BE THE MAN THAT DON'T CRY. AND CINCINNATI DIDN'T MAKE THE MEN DON'T CRY OR BASEBALL PLAYERS DON'T CRY. CINCINNATI A WEAK ASS CITY ANYWAY. AINT HAD A GOOD TEAM IN FOOTBALL OR BASEBALL IN 50 YEARS. PETE ROSE YOU ONE OF THE BEST EVER. CINCINNATI SUCKS THO SORRY CINCI BOAS

And PETE, YOU ALREADY DID TOO MANY DRUGS. STOP LYING AND ACCEPT THE FACT AND ADMIT YOUR GAMBLING IN 86. WHY YOU GONNA SIT THERE AND LIE ABOU T NOT REMEMBERING BETTING ON A YEAR THEY HAVE YOU ON PAPER. GREAT MAN ACCEPT FOR THE TRUTH DOESN'T COME OUT

Same here as a Yankee/Mets fan.

He still beds on games no hall fame for.you.said Bob feller

*Ridiculous.

​@@annehajdu8654You are who? More sports fans with Rose than you.

What

@@overwhammingyes, he transparently lied for almost 20 years about something that was easily verifiable. Maga before Maga.

Lol..WTF is WRONG with you?

@@BufordTGleason100% well said

Google "Outside the Lines Pete Rose." Pete is a liar.

No he does NOT

People say this or that one is the best theyve ever seen. Well I've seen many and many with great physical ability like Dick Allen , but Rose is until Ichiro THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN . HE GOT THE FURTEST WITH LESS TALENT BUT GREATER HUNGER. SO HE IS THE BEST EVER IN THAT HE ACHIEVED EVERYTHING HE STRIVED FOR. I THINK HE WENT TO 4 WORLD SERIES

Amen

Yep, he'll be turning 83 this April in 2024.

I agree with rose not bonds

He gives little respect to his victims and all the bookies he didn't pay he likes to write checks that bounce I hear I'm from Cincinnati so I know trust me.

Me too

As for the GAMBLING on Baseball as an MLB Manager? Trump, 2024 Let's DEFEND the Celebrity Athelete....

​@@mikewhite4560dude, I see you all over this with your puke. Puke on you little piss!

Bench isn't a hater, he told it like it was. If Rose had come clean, went to rehab he only would have been suspended. Rose never would have went to prison and the FBI made a deal with the organized crime bookies to forgive Rose's hundreds of thousands in debt. Bench also knew about Rose bringing underage girls to Spring Training camp and making the other players uncomfortable as Hell with them hanging around the clubhouse. Rose didn't care that possibly one of these 13 to 17 year old girls could falsely accuse a player. Imagine if some 14 year old girl accused Johnny Bench of having an affair, he'd never be able to live it down, just the accusation was enough back then to ruin a player. They stayed away from the girls and none of the Reds was accused of statutory rape except Rose according to John Dowd who was the investigator who made the case against Rose. Rose got out of it because Ohio's age of consent is 16, but not Florida and she claimed their relationship started way before she turned 16. Dowd didn't put the statutory rape charges in his report as they weren't relevant. Just like he didn't put Rose's betting against the Reds by betting ON them every night except when he didn't, remember he owed some unsavory characters up to half a million dollars by all estimates. Don't think they did not notice when Rose didn't place bet ON the Reds. It was a clear sign to bet large against the Reds. It is in the Cincinnati newspaper article I'm going to link. It is a long read, but also talks about Rose fronting money for drugs. If you want to read about the underage girls just Google Pete Rose and underage girls, John Dowd. You'll get a few thousand hits. I said nothing that isn't documented. Pete Rose is a pedophile scumbag and still lies, he's already contradicted shit he wrote in his so called tell-all book. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/03/21/rose-investigator-pete-belong-game/25112355/

@@MountainFisher Thanks for the eye-opening information. According to the article both Schmidt and Morgan support Rose's reinstatement.

@@dhruvadude808 Oh yea, Morgan has wanted Rose inducted into the HOF for a long time, but Bench said what was on his mind about it on the Dan Patrick show and has never changed his mind. Rose had his chance and thought he was too popular to knock down. It is Rose's fault he isn't in baseball and no one else's. Think about this, there hasn't been a single gambling case since Pete Rose. And MLB did not want to bring the hammer down on Rose, he did it himself.

@@MountainFisher I appreciate the update!

What a memory for dates

Put him an Old Timer's game and make your choice based upon fan reaction. MLB wouldn't dare allow that.

The best? Lol...WTF is WRONG with you? He gambled on baseball

@@BBAKER22 who gives a fuck he still the best ever

​@@BBAKER22 gambled or not, Pete Rose was always all about winning, EACH AND EVERY GAME!

​@@bobbyblount7018Best ever is a ludicrous overstatement.

​@@bobbyblount7018Bobby, he was never even the best player on his own team. When he was in high school, Eddie Brinkman was more sought after. When Pete came up with the Reds, Frank Robinson was vastly superior. Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan were both better than Pete and their teammates will tell you that. When Pete went to Philly, Jack Schmidt was the best player on the field. In Montreal, Tim Raines and Andre Dawson were better. Also...NONE of the players I mentioned served time for drug trafficking, never admitted to knowingly sleeping with 15 year-old girls nor get caught violating league gambling rules.

I saw virtually all of his games and lived through the era of his 43 game hitting streak.

I watched him play against the Mets in 1982.

Not even remotely

uh, short, but not way short. SMH

20 x 200 is 4,000...one more year with 200 hits...almost catches Pete. Problem is playing 21 years and getting enough plate appearances to do it...have to be good enough to start and stay healthy...also have to be young to start...can't start your career at 24, 25 years old

​​@@michaelbaucom4019Or...you're way past your prime...become a terrible manager under idiotic ownership...place yourself on the active roster at the expense of more deserving players and insert yourself into random situations in order to achieve a particular number. Pete was done as a player 5 years before he caught Ty Cobb. Note that the moment Pete Rose was kicked out of baseball...Cincinnati hired Lou Piniella and won a World Series.

Trump 2024....

​@@mikewhite4560OK, now it's not funny anymore. What is your fixation with Trump and sports being mixed together? Your just a troll.

It isn't a holier than thou idea. It's the fact that gambling ruins sports. You're watching it happen right before your eyes now that it's been embraced.

💯👍💪👌👏 Exactly!

He has been punished enough. Time he was forgiven.

@@waynejohanson1083 Rose won't get in the Hall of Fame until after his DEATH :(if at all).

He never paid the price. The guy was a huge jerk back in his day off of the camera. Why do you think the writers of baseball didn't vote him in? The gambling is just the excuse to keep him out. That guy really stepped on a lot of toes and I saw him in action outside of the parks and around the hotels. He pissed off a lot of people.

What price did he pay for raping a 14 year old girl?

@@paulgwyn7836 you obviously don't know what you are talking about. The baseball writers association of America are the one's who vote players in.

@@paulgwyn7836 running out of a defense?

@@paulgwyn7836 I can make you do anything. I'm in your head. 🤣😂

Not saying the baseball writers get it right but I definitely would not like to see a fan based vote. Just look how they mess up all-star voting and larger markets would get way more recognition than they deserve.

@@henrywallacesghost5883 I think a fan vote as they drop off the ballot could be interesting. Otherwise I think there could be many more first ballot hal of famers.

Bur the GAMBLING on Baseball as a MANAGER. . 😅

That’s the good thing about the MLB HOF. It’s not a popularity contest!

True

HE IS A CHEATER! That is how!

@@uglyfrog7263 Just curious. How do you KNOW he ever cheated, even while breaking the rules?

Greatest hitter? Cut the crap.

You don't understand baseball clearly. He has the most hits, of all time. It's in the name, "Greatest HITTER" so either you're not smart as it relates to baseball or you're confused as to what I said. @@TheBatugan77

​@@TheBatugan77 how could he not b considered one of the best ever? Maybe Ichiro or Cobb but he'd have to be in everyone's top 5 atleast. If he's not than u don't really follow Baseball.

But not of the HOF for the GAMBLING MANAGER.. .

​@@mikewhite4560 He only bet on his Reds to win. If you think 80% of H.O.Fmrs didn't gamble your greatly mistaken.

Remember Rawley Eastwicks ARM Blowing Out because the HIT KING left him in the Game TOO LONG to WIN a Game Pete put $$$$ on? Thoughts?

@@mikewhite4560 They all gambled an they all bet, it's part of a athletes DNA to get a rush, or high. Nobody is innocent. He was the easy target. Much worse was done behind close doors.

America in a NUT SHELL. DEFEND the Celebrity Athelete. Or Celebrity President.

He was definitely incredible.

Almost .300? He hit .305 lifetime. 24 years MLB

@@TrumpFanNetwork2 No Sir. Check the stats. At the end of his career He batted . 307 from the left side and .293 from the right.

Luckily that is in your head and not reality.

As for the GAMBLING as an MLB Manager? 😅

Gambling is wrong but it’s like he didn’t beat his wife, get caught with child porn, murder anyone, get caught soliciting teenage girls, etc ! Put him in the HOF! “ FOR PETES SAKES”!!

​@@mikewhite4560hey you little shit. Gambling didn't make him the greatest hitter in baseball!

thank u sir.i grew up a dodger fan but 7th grade 1970 he was my favorite player before he won a world series . he played with manly grit but with the passion of a child.and he's more famous than most hall of famers anyway.

Do you know how he got his name, he got caught cheating at cards.

You play the game to win! Loved that when he said it cause it exactly how he played the game the right way

And BET on it as a Manager... Thoughts?

​@@mikewhite4560my thought about you are You're a nobody!

​@mikewhite4560 That was a long time ago. He deserves to be in the HOF. There are way worse characters in the hall. Also anyone who believes Pete is the only one in baseball who gambled on the game is seriously naive.

He should still get in. The gambling does not diminish his accomplish ments on the field. It pales in comparison. The man is the all time hits leader.

@garygarber7668 Mistake would be only couple of times. The man had a 6 figure gambling habit. For decades

@@charlesdoyle3630 He developed a gambling addiction - not a lot different than other addictions.

@@paulgwyn7836 do unto others as you would want people to do unto you. Mercy is a wise decision.

What do you not get about permanently ineligible. He woukd have to publicly apologize to the fans. Baseball in general and Reds fans. He repeatedly lied about his gambling

He isn't the "best hitter of all time" but he was a great hitter. How many of the best hitter have you personally seen?

Hitting is more than just singles.

@gabrielv.2647 he’s clearly not the best hitter of all time. Not even close.

@@michaeljaffee-eo6mr yeah right because having the most hits in the history of the game don't qualify you for that...

Is there THERAPY in your FUTURE? PETE'S A DOUCHE... Trump 2024...

@radar0412 Yes he did. He's more than paid a debt to society, baseball and himself. It's time to let it go.

Agreed. I don’t like how they won’t tell him what he has to do to make amends? And if he’s betting or doing what he wants now, and it’s not illegal, I don’t see the issue. You can’t tell someone how to live their life. He isn’t hurting anyone.

A Phillies Fan Here. WHY didn't the HIT KING come CLEAN from DAY 1? Maybe his INFLATED E G O

Rose admitted in 2004 that he bet on baseball and on the Reds.

Hey, Charlie Hustle has been in PRISON. Trump 2024...😅

​@@radar0412It may come as a shock to you but over 100 billion dollars are gambled illegally on American sports every year and that's a conservative FBI estimate. Are you naive enough to believe that none of that money is gambled by athletes, league officials or officials??? Or that none of that money goes to said individuals?? The baseball HOF needs to look at who's already in their HOF( some really disgusting men)and the stupid committee who elects individuals arbitrarily into the HOF needs to let go of their holier than thou attitudes.Any real HOF would allow a fan vote. It's what the fans think that's more important than a jackass committee arguing about who's in and who's not based on subjective criteria along with allowing personal feelings to dictate induction.

@@mikewhite4560 you sure are obsessed with the orange man

Rose is not even top 20. As a talent. As a hard and hustling player absolutely top 3.

I totally agree with you . W k Kaiser AKA krumholz

Good person. ROFLMFAO

So you think Adults who rape 14 year old girls are good people?

@charlesbarry7479 no message other than he understands interviews after 50 yrs. He’s selling his position to the audience.

So they should change a rule that has been in place for over a hundred years just to accommodate Rose.In every major league baseball locker room,there is a sign,saying,betting on baseball is prohibited.He knew that.He decided to break that rule.He knew the consequences,of doing so.

@ngc-fo5te There is players.in the Hall of fame.that.have done way more wrong. Enough ! Give the paying fans what they want. Pete Rose in the hall of fame.

@rondellschuyler7074 No there isn't in regard to the rules of baseball. Most people I have heard on this want him nowhere near the hall of fame. He certainly doesn't deserve to be.

Better do a little more research. He’s an absolute horrible human. Look up what he did to underage girls during his playing career never Convicted because the statute of limitations ran out before these girls had the courage to speak up. He’s also a convicted felon serving time for federal tax fraud, money laundering and wire fraud.

The Hall is a private entity. The Hall can induct Rose anytime they’d like. The MLB commissioner has ZERO to do with the Hall of Fame. Tell us you don’t understand that without actually telling us! LOL
