Pete Rose Research Paper
Pete Rose, all time hit leader in the MLB, is banned from the Hall of Fame. Rose, a player and coach for the Cincinnati Reds, gambled on a numerous amount of games for the Reds to win while he was a coach. With this the MLB banned him from being on the ballet to gain entrance into the Hall of Fame. People still debate wether or not Rose should be allowed in the Hall of Fame. Supports of Rose say He only gambeled when he was a manager not a player while people against him say that gambling in MLB as a player and or coach is illegal within the league. Rose is now notorious for gambling while he was manager for the Cincinnati Reds. With his crime against the MLB, people think he should be recognized as a player and not as a manager. Jayson Stark, senior writer for ESPN, writes, “I would like to volunteer for a job no one in baseball will hire me to do. I would like to be the guy who writes Pete Rose’s Hall of Fame plague”() Stark believes that Rose should be able to enter into the Hall of Famed to his accomplishments as a baseball player not as a manager.

Victor Barbose think that Pete Rose should not be allowed in the Hall of Fame. Barbose quotes Rob Manfred, MLB commissioner, “…..The rule is clear that if you bet on baseball you will be banished for life”(). This rule has been in effect with baseball since the beginning of its existence. Rose admitted to betting during his time as manager for the Cincinnati Reds, but not as a player. Barbose Strongly states that, “in majority of cases, we’re all for giving second chances to people. Sometimes though, due to the nature of the crime or misdeed, forgiving the individual seems implausible”(). Even though sometime we come clean with our crimes, sometimes you are unable to gain the forgiveness of others. Rose has yet to put that charm on people to put his name back on the

    The Case of Pete Rose Ban from the Baseball Hall of Fame

    Bart Giamatti's decision to ban Pete Rose from the Baseball Hall of Fame was not a fair decision at all. Pete Rose was placed on Baseball's ineligible list in 1989 when commissioner of baseball, Bart Giamatti concluded that Rose had bet on baseball games, including games involving his own team, the Cincinnati Reds. In an agreement made with Baseball, Rose accepted his banishment from the sport. Although he never admitted to having gambled on baseball games (Maury). Pete Rose was a phenomenal baseball player and manager. He was accused of gambling. His team while he was managing was supposedly involved. Bart Giamatti's severe punishment of Pete Rose is a very controversial topic in the world of sports. There are a few rules that must have been followed to be inducted to the Hall of Fame. The one that is keeping Rose away is rule five. Rule five states: Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team or teams on which the player played (Maury). This rule has been tested and beaten many times. Many players have entered the Baseball Hall of Fame such as the very unlikable Ty Cobb, the drinking Babe Ruth, the umpire abusing John McGraw, the racist Cap Anson, Gaylord Perry a suspected cheater, and the gambling Leo Durocher. Those are just a few of the baseball players who somehow made into the Hall of Fame and got passed rule five (Ritter). Pete Rose's problem was not even as severe as all of these other men. The argument to this is that if these men can make it into the Hall of Fame why is Pete Rose banned. It is obvious that these players made it there with just their playing abilities and not by all of the other characteristics needed to be inducted into the Hall of Fame (Maury). Pete Rose started playing professional baseball in 1960 in the minor leagues and by 1963 he reached the Major Leagues as a rookie second baseman with the National League's Cincinnati Reds. Rose won…

    Peter Edward Rose Research Paper

    Another one was from horse races that he won money from. On July 19th Rose was sentenced to five years of security prison camp at the US penitentiary in Illinois and was fine the amount of 50,000 dollars. On January 7, 1991 after paying almost half of the amount which was $366,041 in back taxes and interest and was finally released from the prison. He also had to do a mandatory 1000 hours of community service. In 1991 rose had a chance at being in the MLB’s hall of fame but for the bad actions that he made in the years past years the committee did not want anyone that was on the ineligible list to be able to be one of the inductees in the hall of fame. Rose is the only member to this day being on the major league baseball’s ineligible list. After all of this Rose has made some appearances on many different things such as being a Fox sports commentator also appearing on shows such as WWE’s Raw as a wrestling commentator. Ever since his mistake of gambling he has cost himself a lot of damage because he could have been in the hall of fame and maybe could still to this day be involved in the MLB such as being the Reds manager or maybe even being another teams manager but the price of this is that he will never have anything to do with the MLB because of something stupid that he did in the…

    Hustle: The Myth, Life, and Lies of Pete Rose

    I was in high school when Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb's all time hits record. I grew up in Ohio when I was young and was always a Cincinnati Reds fan, and Rose was one of the players I admired. It seemed as though he hustled more than most of the other players and was always trying to do whatever it took in order to win. He was my first recollection of how free agency could ruin your favorite team when he departed for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1979, and led them to the World Series in 1980. In 1989, The Dowd Report (which harshly criticized Rose for gambling) was a shock. That a player who was so intent on winning and would do whatever it took to help his team to win, would break the major sin of baseball in gambling on baseball was an idea I could not have ever thought possible.…

    Dummy died at the age of 99 on December 15, 1961 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Today there is a group of people who are trying to get him elected into the Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. His contribution to society and baseball was huge, he let people know whether your deaf or have a any disability you can still make your dreams come true as long as you try and never give up.

    Pete Rose & the Hall of Fame

    When I go watch my Chicago Cubs at beautiful Wrigley field I am concerned with the game and what is in front of me, not what is going on off the field. I go to enjoy the game and the talent of the athletes that play. I could care less about what Sammy Sosa is doing off the field, he is the man because of his skills on the field and what he does for Americas' past time. Last time I was sitting on the third base line and Sammy stepped up to the plate I did not think to myself "I wonder if he hits his wife like he hits a baseball," or "he looks like a big time gambler," I was shouting his name and clapping in support for hope of another homer being sent over the ivy covered wall. My enthusiasm was booming for this mans talent and what he brings to the table to help my cubbies win. Now would you not think that a baseball player in the Hall of Fame should be looked at the same way? Should a hall of famer not be jugged based on his baseball skills and what he did on the field? Well that does not seem to be the case when it comes to Pete Rose. Since being banned from baseball in 1989 for off field actions he denies, he has repeatedly been denied access to Cooperstown. Pete Rose was one of the greatest baseball players ever and should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame because of it.…

    Pete Rose Research Paper

    Baseball legend Pete Rose once said, “I’d walk through hell and gasoline to play baseball.” This quote gives anyone unfamiliar with who Pete Rose is a great understanding of how much he loved the game of baseball. Pete Rose’s entire life revolved around the game of baseball. He was a hometown hero and played 24 seasons of professional baseball. From 1963-1986, Rose collected more base hits than any player to ever play the game which would make him a sure first ballot Hall of Famer. However on August 24th, 1989 Rose was banned from the game of baseball for life. Pete Rose was banned by MLB commissioner Angelo Bartlett "Bart" Giamatti for gambling on the game of baseball. I want to inform readers of whom Pete Rose is, what type of player he was, and the mistake he made. The question still remains today whether or not the ban on Pete Rose should be lifted, allowing him to apply for his induction into baseball’s Hall of Fame. I personally…

    Why Should Pete Rose Be In The Hall Of Fame

    As I said in the last paragraph, he was one of the few player-manager to ever be in the MLB. Also, the MLB made an award to give out every year called Charlie Hustle Award, this award is given to a player who shows the true spirit and traditions of baseball(Kay 1). This award came about and named after Pete Rose, he was a player who stood out for his hustle and drive for the game(1). There are MLB players right now who try to mimic Pete Rose style of play, for example Bryce Harper and Mike Trout are some of the best players in the game and both have said they try to play like Pete. “Because I was small, I always had to do things other people didn’t do to try to win games. That’s the way I played.”, this was a very famous quote from Pete Rose about his style of playing baseball(Kay 1). Not everyone liked his style of hustle, some players thought he was a show off, but everyone respected him and knew how impactful he was to the game. Now there is the side of why he should not be in the Hall of Fame…
