I absolutely believe Pete should be in the HOF. While I don’t approve of betting on baseball, no one can deny the records he has broken and still holds! I truly believe that the drive and determination that earned him the name “Charlie Hustle” on the field was also the fuel that made betting such a problem for him later in life. His “need to win” is simply part of his DNA and that drive is what made him great.
Growing up, Pete was (and still is) one of my heroes. He proved that you can do anything if you work hard at it, and no one worked as hard as Pete Rose.
On my latest CD, I wrote and recorded a song about Pete; it’s called “You Bet”
The hook of the song is: “Does Pete Rose belong in the Hall of Fame…….I say You Bet!”
Baseball is a better game because Pete Rose played it. How many other players can you truly say that about?
