Pete Rose to the portal….

RIP Charlie Hustle, should've been in the HOF many years ago. Several players/managers have placed bets throughout the years but he unfortunately got caught.
and they did not....had they, they would have been in the same boat as Rose who was never the brightest bulb in the Christmas string of lights......not sure what your point is...

The stats of the player deserve to be in...The person, nope...Put the player in now as his lifetime ban has ended.
 
Hey, no fair, he thought that girl was 16 when he started having sex with her!
Just watched Grease the other night, and found it interesting when Vince Fontaine (host of National Bandstand) was hitting on a HS girl, Marty Maraschino( “as in cherry” ) and it not being a big deal at the time. This in a film selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.

Same goes with a film like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and others that depict kids having sex.

Times have changed, at least on the screen. In real life though, those Hollywood folks and music industry folks make Pete Rose look like a saint. Every joke about Leo DiCaprio liking them young has taken on new meaning since the Epstein and Diddy cases hit the mainstream.

If you don't think other players/managers haven't placed bets through others then you're not the brightest bulb in the Christmas string of lights. Smh
 
I’ve mentioned on here before that I dealt with Pete Rose as a betting customer for years and knew him pretty well during that time. I could say both some good and bad things about him, but will leave it at he was a very simple guy that spent most of the last 30 years or so of his life doing what he liked best, gambling and hanging out with wiseguys and bookmakers.

RIP
 
Pete Rose on the field....his career total hits is a record that will never be broken and likely no one will ever come close

I never said or implied that so I'm not sure what the hell you are talking about......what I said, in English, was that they were never dumb enough to get caught like Rose and had they been they would have been just as underserving of the HOF honor while alive as he was...

One simple rule...Don't eat from that one tree Adam or you will be banished forever is all they asked, but Pete just had to make apple pie from it....

That scene in Grease wasn't creepy since the actress playing Marty was 34 years old.

I applaud the strength you two have in your masculinity to go toe to toe with a Musical debate in a football forum.....I usually just limit it to a "who would you rather do?" Maria or Liesl from The Sound of Music...

Something I didn’t notice during my first 50 viewings of that film in my life…Marty is pretty hot.

I make no bones about my love for the movie Grease. That and All the Right Moves are in my top 5. Lol.
 
Great hitter. Played Hard. One of the truly dumbest human beings ever. Did you ever hear him talk? He was truly a moron. He made Shoeless Jackson seem bright in comparison.

Same for Kristy McNichol. I first saw her in The Pirate Movie from the 80s.

Wish I was exaggerating but I can take you to places in Clearfield county where old men with HS girls is still a thing.

I think Ringo was around 34 when he released this one (at least Princess Leia was well over 16)...Don't get me started on Chuck Berry...

What I find most amazing is that Rose has over 14,000 career at bats. Next closest is Hank Aaron with a little over 12,000. McCutchen is MLB's current active leader with 7,862 at bats -- Rose had almost double that amount.

I loved Kristi McNichol growing up. Her and Tatum O'Neill were my 12 year old crushes.

Why clearfield? I live in the city and it's extremely common here, especially in "da hood".

That is wild but Cutch has only played 15 seasons, Rose played 23 and Aaron played 22.
