tsylvester Posted May 13 Posted May 13 I've stopped watching baseball, for many reasons. I've also stopped caring about who gets into or does not, the Hall for any sport. But this was long over due https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/mlb/pete-rose-mlb-trump-reinstated-rcna206598 Quote
tsylvester Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 I'm on the fence about Joe Jackson and company. Life time ban, well, they are dead so technically they should be eligible. Even the evidence of them throwing the game, slow playing balls hit them, poor average hitting in the games that were thrown... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Joe Jackson played amazing. It’s obvious he was not trying to throw it. As for rose. If he was so bad then why has baseball profited off him the whole time. He is plastered over coopertown. They rolled him out when he was on the greatest players ever. Cincy had him there for the greatest reds. So he is allowed when baseball can profit. Quote
tsylvester Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 Well, Jackson was almost 100 pts lower in batting average over the games they lost and gave up an exorbitant amount of tripples in those games as well. He even reportedly confessed to the gran jury that he threw those games. In the games they won he was out of this world in average and fielding, so, the evidence is up to the reader I guess. Quote
