Pete Rose?

Question

Why did Pete Rose go to the Hall of Fame and what was he known for?

Answer 1

He's not in the Hall of Fame but he belongs their, but it may be several decades more before he gets there! He was accused of gambling (but never convicted) he opted to avoid a long court battle. He currently holds 19 major league records! Here are just a few: most career hits 4,256, most games played 3,562, most at bats 14,053, most total bases by a switch hitter 5,752, most seasons of 200 or more hits (10), consec seasons of 100 or more hits (23), Only player in Major league history to play more than 500 games at 5 different positions (1B=939), (2B=628), (3B=634), (LF=671), (RF=595)

Answer 2

Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. The guy was the greatest hitter ever in the game of baseball, and one of the hardest workers. If they let some steroid pumped, lazy a**, into the record books, then they sure as hell should let someone who may or may not have bet on some games in. It's not like he was throwing any games by getting on base more than anyone else.

Answer 3

Pete Rose never made it to the Hall of Fame, even though he holds several records.
He gambled on baseball and as such got a lifetime suspsension from the game. This includes going to the Hall of Fame as well.
He said recently that he also bet on the Reds when he was managing them

Answer 4

Pete Rose did not go to the hall of fame because ha gambled on his team to lose, although I think he should be in the hall of fame as a PLAYER.

Answer 5

Haha, your trying to trick us.........you know as well as any baseball fan Petey is not in the Hall of Fame.

Answer 6

Let go the illusion.

Rose didn't care about his career and his reputation half as much as his fans did.

Answer 7

He didn't cuz he gambled.
