You guys clearly don't understand the journey of the American lower economic class male and the tragedy of living in the country with the greatest opportunities on earth when you don't have the ability to capitalize on those opportunities. That, and Cadillac Ranch really rocks.

What's Chris LeDoux have to do with this?

This fucking guy….
Polarizing as it gets.
This thread of simply RIP….
Bob Costas said it yesterday…. If you’ve got a slow day on radio, just beg the question of Pete Rose and the HOF, and you’ll get lit up …
Everyone has their opinion.
The HOF gets a lot of things wrong. The writers get a lot of things wrong.
In 2006? The writers voted in Negro league players, executives, others, but no Buck O’Neil. It was egregious. And Buck spoke in Cooperstown upon his invite.
Pete would never be that gracious in a million years. Buck was magnanimous, Pete was not.
Pete and Paul Giammati, and MLB bent over backwards for Pete. He signed his own fate, and I guarantee the ugly stuff about Pete is likely NOTHING compared to the sealed reports that Pete never wanted public, probably lead to him gambling a LOT, on his team, against his team, young girls he was fucking, the mob, bad bets, and he’s lucky he only went to prison for tax evasion.
That’s your hero?
Oh, and then he decides to live in Las Vegas and make every trip to Cooperstown and set up a table to autograph baseballs.
Dude is trash. But RIP

All true. BUT, he was an ALL TIME GREAT AT PLAYING BASEBALL. IMO, Pete belongs in the HOF - TRASH HUMAN and all.
He paid his dues in that now that he is gone, IF voted in, he will never know it.
Oj Simpson...Was a TRASH HUMAN also. He did MUCH worse. He is in the PFHOF. Not quite apples to apples, but...
