WVU's coach Mazey and Pete Rose

My information causes me to not like the man too much. I'm talking about the "man", not the ball player, and I put more emphasis on what kind of a man you are. I had a rather interesting evening in Cincy with someone quite close to him a number of years ago. Some revealing stuff came out of that encounter but it was just one side of the issue.
 
There is a sucker born every minute. He'd have to pay me to sign my baseball and then I'd throw it away!

He's no worse than the current/past PED players who cheated the integrity of the game. With that said, I don't think he or anyone of the last 25 years should be in the HOF. Record books should be closed after 1990/1992

Why stop there.... ....corked bats and greased hates among an endless list of other things....

thats true. The golden era was 1950-1960's. No segregation, no expansion, no PED's, no wild card and diluted playoff teams, no free agency, etc. Just real baseball. Wish I was around to see it.

Actually I'd guess that the 50's and 60's was toxic regarding players throwing games.
 
I know some people that know Pete and not a one say he is a good person. They have all got stories that paint him as one despicable piece of shit.

Hell of a ball player though.
 
I met Pete back in 1977. My favorite player growing up. Great player. Being kind, he is arrogant and not a nice guy at all.
 
I passed him on the steps in an airport once well after his fall Sort of looked like a white version of Amos Zereoue.
 
He was called Charlie "Hustle" for a reason. Definitely no Johnny Bench or Joe Morgan or Ken Griffey.

Great ball player. Lousey lying cheating human being.

If he would ever tell the truth, I think he likes being banned from the Hall of Fame-gives him more notoriety.

I'm sure Mazeu had to pay by the minute to be next to Rose. Only guy working for a network take off and miss the World Championship Game broadcast to attend an autograph signing. Of course this was after it was revealed he wasn't reinstated. Yeah Pete you've really changed.
