I think Pete Rose is a great baseball player and a pretty damn good guy. Considering what we have watched the trouble that modern baseball, and especially modern football players have gotten in, and still (Lawrence Taylor) gotten into the hall of fame, Pete is AOK in my book. He had a long and prosperous career, had a lot of heart and integrity, and set BIG records. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

The reporter the other night got an award for his agressiveness with Mike Tyson (another world class trouble maker) and made it his schtick. BACKFIRE. Too many people are sympathetic to Pete Rose, and its been over 10 years. We forgave Marv Albert in a year of so. The reporter screwed up.
